The golden hour. That’s the last hour before sunset. And that’s when most natural light photographers want to shoot. Including me. But lately, I’ve been absolutely LOVING bright sunshine, filtered through Savannah’s gorgeous oak trees. When Garner and Haylee scheduled their engagement session, we decided to start mid-afternoon. And the light was gorgeous through two […]

When I got home from this Forsyth Park wedding, I couldn’t wait to see the images. And I knew my clients were eager to see and share them, too! That’s why I always deliver a next-day wedding gallery. The gallery is usually between 30 and 50 edited images. I include the next-day gallery at no […]

A historic Savannah church was the setting for my my last wedding of 2018. And what a way to end the year! It was an absolutely gorgeous day: a bit cloudy – but we photographers love a that soft, diffused sunlight. And oh-so-warm: in the 70s on December 29! Church wedding Katie and Travis said […]

Completely […]

I have big goals for 2019. 🙂 1. Learn to use the phrases “vis-à-vis” and “touche.” Sprinkle them liberally in all conversations with all people. Gain respect from all people who have no idea what those words mean. Which is all people. Get elected president. 2. Finally fess up to my husband, Mark, that the […]
