I spent a few hours out at RiverOaks this past weekend making pictures with other photographers and testing out some new equipment. It was a pleasure to see Marianne and her talented team serve their guests with creative and tasteful styling. My friend David and I may of only been there for a few hours, but it was…
Ian – featuring his guitar and mason jar. Some film, some digital.
Thank you Taylor, Christy, Jen/Pastel Makeup and Hair and Liz/LWD Couture for helping make these pictures a reality.
Stephen Wain’s shop is just down the street from us, so I stopped in to make some nice pictures and meet some awesome people. The phrase hand crafted is thrown around a lot these days, but this guy is the real deal. There is so much talent in Charleston! Wain Green Wood – Restoration Furniture

Erin’s swooshy dress made this photoshoot go from “well that’s nice to… oh my that’s fantastic”. Thank you Erin for spinning around in circles in high heels with the big fan on in an already cold studio. Not once did she fall over. I really enjoy shooting on location, but there’s something to be said…
