Hayley and KC - Engagement Session

Hayley Lynch is a woman like no other.  Not only is she stunningly beautiful, she is an amazing person with wisdom beyond her years.  Her smile is contagious and she is one of the most consistent people I know.  She never waivers.  I first met Hayley two years ago when she walked into my classroom as a Student-Teacher.  Her positive attitude and eagerness did not go unnoticed. The students LOVED her and still talk about her to this day.  KC has always been the love of her heart, I knew she would one day be his bride.  She loves him, he loves her and it shows.  I know there is such thing as "Happily Ever After"...just take a glimpse....love you dearly sweet Hayley. -a

Hitchcock Family 2010

I first met the Hitchcocks: Brian, Kim, Jacob and Logan when they walked into my first grade classroom in 2006 with their youngest son.  I was Logan's first grade teacher that year and I was also his new neighbor :)  I have had the blessing of watching the Hitchcock Family grow over the past five years.  Kim has always been a help and has always come to my rescue for the oddest things, I owe her big time for helping me with my son's slivers. This afternoon was a blast, thanks for the laughs, I hope there are many more to come. -a

Dear Santa, It wasn't me....

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas 2010!

Tis the season....I have been blessed by the friendship of the Quick Family over the past two years.  Here are just a few glimpses into the life and times of Leslie, Sean and Virginia Grace.  Virginia Grace has an ENORMOUS personality...I wonder where she gets it from?  Thanks for allowing me to photograph your sweet family, over and over again. -a

Koppel Family - Summer 2010

I have been blessed to know Chris and Eric Koppel and their children for the last five years.  I do believe that Chris and I are somehow related, no joke....we tend to think alike and have way too many of the same interests....  Although Chris and I live on opposite sides of Horry County and don't get to see each other too often, I can see her face and immediately pick up where we left off. 
Chris is a photographer herself (Chris Koppel Photography) and is a dream to photograph.  She is truly beautiful inside and out and her family is a reflection of her strengths.  The Koppel family was willing to trudge through an ole' horse barn and endure an hour of heat and humidity to capture the love of their family.  Thank you Koppel Family, you were troopers! -a

New Beginnings

These photos are just a glimpse of the moments He has given us.  There are pictures posted under each heading above. I am thankful to be used as an instrument to capture His creation. "From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and ALL that God made.  They can clearly see His invisible qualities - His eternal power and divine nature." Romans 1:20
