What a difference a month (+ 2 days) can make! March 1st came in with a Southern snowstorm, and only a month later, spring is here. Even though I complained incessantly about the daily rain last week, it seemed to leave the world covered in green…so I guess there is a “silver lining” after all.
(I spy a tiny little visitor in the picture above…do you?)
Dogwoods always seem to bloom just in time for Easter. Below, my pecan tree and the same dogwood on March 1st…
Not only has spring sprung in the past month, but baby Rossi, baby Liam, and baby Eli were all born! Tomorrow I will be shooting a sweet spring wedding, and next week is filled with tons of photo sessions and some big news: my website is FINALLY going to launch. Wooohooo! Check back!!

It seems that through nearly every phase of my life, I’ve had a good friend named Amy. Over the past couple of years, Amy and Matt have become such great friends of mine, and of course we always wreak havoc and cause confusion when we’re together and someone says “Hey Amy…”. Um, which one? The similarities don’t end there–Amy is a photographer in Greenwood, and we often shoot together. I always tell people at weddings, “If you need a photo, just find an Amy.”
Matt and Amy’s first child together, Rossi, is coming really, really soon. I was actually a little concerned that I wouldn’t get these maternity photos posted before he was born, so I’m glad he’s running a day or two off schedule! (Sorry Amy.) 🙂 Rossi is a bit of a “miracle baby,” and we are all excited to meet him!
I’m so loving shadows and reflections these days!
This crazy old building was full of cool textures and colors…
This last series completely rocks my face off. Hello, fierce.
See? Total rock stars.
Really. My face has been officially rocked off. These last two are my faves.
Amy and Matt–y’all are such wonderful friends, and I had so much fun with you shooting these photos. Not a single “Chandler face” to be found. 😉 I’m so happy for you guys, and now that I’ve finally gotten these posted, I can’t wait for Rossi to get here! (hehe)

SNOW DAY!! Very few phrases strike such excitement–and such panic–into the hearts of Southerners. If you are reading the blog from anywhere besides the south, I must explain that everything (schools, businesses, major interstates) shuts down for even a dusting of “the white stuff,” and the entire southern population empties the grocery stores of all bread and milk. (Apparently bread and milk are all you need for sustenance if you are trapped indoors during a blizzard.) So anyway, the 1st day of March came in like a lion, with big puffy flakes of snow, and 2 days out of school. It was the best-kind-of-snow that sticks to each tree branch and twig like tufts of cotton and packs the perfect snowball.
By early afternoon, however, I was a little stir-crazy and lonely in the house all by myself, so I announced a FREE contest on facebook! (If you are a blog reader but you aren’t my friend yet on fb, please send me a request!) Little Charlie, via his facebooking mom, was the lucky winner of a frosty cold snow session. They braved the cold, and we traipsed around my backyard for some frikkin adorable photos of Charlie’s Snow Day…
I think this photo of Charlie and Jennifer is simply magical!
I love the happiness on Jennifer’s face here…
By the way, Charlie’s newborn portraits were one of my very first posts on the blog, and now I’m nearing my 50th post. It won’t be long at all before we move over to the new blog and site…I’ll keep you updated!
Now I’m off to eat my bread and milk…. 😉

Kelly and Brady are such a sweet and cute couple! Kelly is a hairstylist, and we’ve gotten to know each other through my super-amazing stylist Holly (my last post). (Kelly is awesome with color–contact me and I’ll hook you up with her info!) Anyway, Kelly and Brady are getting married in a few months and already have a fabulous photographer for their wedding, but they asked me to shoot their engagement session Valentine’s weekend. We had a very Greenville session, hitting lots of cool downtown spots, and it was tons of fun!
Kelly has the greatest laugh:
I really like the mood of this one.
I love the colors in this one!
Looooove this series…
My favorite from the day!! I think this would make a very cool canvas…
Thanks for checking out Kelly & Brady’s photos and for bearing with me even though I’ve been a super-slack blogger lately! Don’t forget to “show me (& them) some love.” 🙂

Holly and Mark were my cute and sassy contest winners who hadn’t had portraits taken since their wedding 15 years ago. Um, why?? They are adorable and completely rocked it for the camera, in spite of being cold and Mark being a little nervous at first. 🙂 By looking at these photos, you could never tell either of those things! I love their gorgeous eyes and totally real laughter and expressions….so sweet.
Loooove this one…seems like I just stumbled into such a personal moment between these two.
I love this series–the yummy backlight is fabulous!
Too cute! I love it when a couple gets comfortable enough with me that I can capture the expressions that define them….in this case a mix of sweetness, eye rolling, and giggles.
