From the Elegant to the Whimsical
Every birthday is a gift - even half birthdays! Happy 6 months to this little miss sunshine!!
Let’s get right to it. I love Boudoir. It’s a confidence boost like no other. The outdoors - what’s not to love? Well, a few things.
You can’t beat that sunset light. Golden hour is a photographer’s favorite time of day and provides dynamic colors as opposed to an indoor shoot where light may be limited.
2. Get a variety of backdrops rather than just a bedroom setting. The islands are a nature lover’s dream. Fields, palms, and white sands, oh my!
3. Not really a lingerie lover? Outside sessions give you the chance to wear (just as sexy) swimwear, athletic wear or oversize sweaters!
Weather is unpredictable and there is a small window of perfectly cool weather in the South. March and April are your best bet. Changing outfits in too cold or too hot weather isn’t ideal.
2. Bugs ughh. The mosquitos come out as early as February and love the wooded grassy areas. While I carry bug spray with me, any itching will make it harder to fully enjoy your session.
3. People - While I try to pick secluded areas, I cannot guarantee not having a passerby. If you are an early bird, sunrise gives us a better chance of fewer people. I like shooting on or near the beach because everyone there is pretty much naked anyways haha and I keep a towel close by in case I need to throw it on you!
There you go! My goal is to always give you the best photographic experience, especially with something as special as boudoir. Let’s go shoot, Gorgeous!
Imagine being this fabulous and in love! Ariel and Colby KILLED their engagement session and it was awesome to see how sweet they are together.
It had been storming all day and while I love a stormy look, I was overjoyed when the sunshine came through just in time to give this session even more of a romantic look.
I love that Ariel chose this incredible venue! Village Creek Landing is one of St. Simons Island’s most beautiful marshside venues. The two tie the knot in January!
Have a fabulous Glynn Academy senior year, Sarah! Go Terrors!

I just love collaborating with awesome people to showcase their products and talent. Jessica at Ivy + Aster got this beautiful dress to me so quickly and when the weather put me in a bind schedule wise, Megan was ready and willing to jump in front of the camera - hair and makeup ready!
Check out Megan’s amazing swim brand MEKKA SWIM.
So excited to see all the big, bold, and wonderful things that this girl accomplishes at the University of Georgia!
Three things that fuel Sam + Dalton's relationship:
Silliness, Sunday morning snuggles with our pup, and mini adventures!
To incorporate their favorite holiday, Sam and Dalton brought sparklers to their July engagement session!! Ah!!
I cannot wait to see the sparks flying at your wedding, you two!
"Old Hollywood glamour at its finest.
Our bride, Merissa, looks like something straight out of an old-time film."
Thank you to the Savannah bridal boutique Ivory & Beau for featuring Merissa + Gavin's beautiful ocean front wedding!
You can't help but feel a bit royal when walking the steps of Ocean Lodge. Merrissa picked this venue for it's classic elegance.
The prayer between the groom, bride. and her grandmother had everyone in tears.
“This [Merissa’s] dreamy look was made complete by the Sasha Veil by Couffia Couture… not to mention the sweetest bouquet of anemones and silver dollar eucalyptus. ”
This amazing reception had some of the best dancing and the best views including a beautiful, bright, full moon over and the ocean and surprise fireworks!
Congratulations Merissa + Gavin!

It's crazy what you notice when you've got a camera in hand and a pretty couple by your side. I've walked down the Coast Guard each access probably 1,000 times and never fully noticed or appreciated the different types of backgrounds this one little spot has. I'm in love with this little beach fencing and the desert look of the trees. I love feeling like a tourist on my own island. Megan and Ryan looked amazing in their beachy outfits against these backdrops! Loved their outfit choices!
Megan has one of the most unique engagement rings I've ever seen! Smitten!
It is a mix of rose gold and white gold in the shape of a rose flower.
What made you fall for him?
He made me laugh and loved my nerdy personality.
Three things that fuel your relationship:
Bike rides, date nights, and hammock family time
Do you have any advice for other couples?
Don't take things too seriously. Have fun. Enjoy life. Move to a vacation area near the beach. :)
