Cousins Unite: A Charleston Portrait Session
This photo shoot was such a blast for me. Not only were the girls gorgeous, but they had so much personality. I only hope I was able to capture a percentage of their liveliness in the photos! I also got to travel back to my home, the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Not too shabby! These photos were taken on Isle of Palms, SC in July.
My Love: Forrest
I could not do what I do without the help and support of my hubby, Forrest. He is there for almost every shoot, and is my backbone. This is my favorite photo of him :)
