As a family photographer, the most calm and peaceful photoshoots have got to be my maternity sessions. Time slows down a bit and the focus is on the mama to be. (Even when there are small children included in the session, there is still something a bit dreamy about a maternity shoot.) Maternity photography in […]

So you want professional pictures of your gorgeous family, and you figure while you’re at it, you might as well get some updated photographs of yourself for your own inspired projects. This is a very common request I receive and I combine these solo and family photography shoots quite often. If you’re going to get […]

So what is goddess photography? Goddess photography is capturing the divine female energy that lies within all of us. It’s allowing that soft, intuitive presence that is so naturally interwoven throughout our mind, body, and spirit to have its moment to shine through. Capturing goddess photography in Costa Rica only enhances the experience with its […]

We were able to add a combined session including family and maternity photos in Dominical Beach, Costa Rica. This was a magical spot and although I tend to photograph on the other side of the beach, the tide was quite high and this side was a better option. The lighting here is so fiery and […]

I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth mentioning again: family photography in Ojochal is magical. There is so much variety; no two sessions ever look the same. These photos were taken in Playa Piñuelas, which is a super tranquil and quaint cove tucked quietly in the southern pacific zone of CR. It’s part of the […]

If you’re looking for family photography in Dominical, this is one of my favorite spots to photograph in Costa Rica. Granted I haven’t traveled to every beach, not even close, but this beach has so much to offer. The rocky coastline adds extra dimension to those ocean background photos. Instead of just smooth ocean, you […]

I have had a few different people tell me about this spectacular campus, so I knew I had to check it out for myself. There are so many locations to take family portraits at Furman University; it boasts a large lake with black swans, a clock tower, winding paths, willow trees, and a rose garden. […]

The wedding took place on a beautiful day in late October at Belle’s Venue and Farms in Jefferson, SC. It was high 70’s without a cloud in the sky. (Okay, I probably would have preferred a cloud or two, but it was truly a spectacular day as far as weather is concerned.) The Venue: The […]

This was my first time doing a family photoshoot where I hadn’t been to the location beforehand. Normally, if I am shooting in a new place (like this one here), I go there once or twice beforehand and get a feel for the land, figure out where the sun will be during the shoot, and […]

This dreamy field is quickly becoming a favorite spot of mine for family portraits in Greenville SC. Whether capturing those whimsical photos of family walking through the tall grass, or embracing beneath a weeping tree, this spot helps to create a beautiful backdrop for family photos.
