Sunflower field “after wedding session”

Paula — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:14:38 +0000

! A few weeks ago, I photographed Carlie and Ryan for their ” After Wedding Session’ which by the way are so much fun!!I just can’t get enough of this sunflower field…and actually the man who owns it took me to a few more fields he has. I love adding new backgrounds and looks for my porfolio!! The funny thing was, Larry (who owns several crops) is the grandfather of Miss. South Carolina Teen! He even brought her out so I could take her picture! I really enjoyed taking my time creating this memories…so I highly recommend this to all the couples out there!

The Roberstons

Oh Lord, how do I start….Well, Jen contacted me about her session but I was going to be out of town…but she insisted that I do her portraits. So, I came back to Myrtle Beach just in time to start her session in the Murrells Intel marsh…and really, there was not a lot of places with clear backgrounds to pose them, so I had the bright idea of taking them to a little marsh Island. I asked one of the boat guys to take us there and so we got on the boat and got on our way. Well, to my surprise, we couldn’t get the boat right to the very edge of the marsh…no we had to literally walk in mud/shells/dirty water just to get to the grass part. I was pretty embarrassed that I had not really thought about that. Well, after getting a few pictures, the tide was going out and the boat was about to get stuck….we rushed back and thankfully were able to get out of there on time.

The picture above, really shows the impossible task it was to reach the little island

Totally worth it, right?

love the picture above...her little expression is priceless and 100% natural!

See the mud in their feet?? Yes, it totally adds originality to the photograph. After that point, although I was feeling bad, I decided to approach this the rest of the time I had with them in documenting the whole experience…and to my surprise, the rest of the photos were probably the best! What a memorable session, ha?

Lovely!!!

Love this photo...has such a natural movement and flow!!!

These two photos are probably some of my best work!! Look at her natural beautiful face!!!

Mr. & Mrs. Tawwab!

A few weekends ago I photographed this beautiful wedding at the Breakers. When I saw Nedra’s dress, it was like love at first sight! I knew it was going to be soo perfect for this time of the year…light, comfortable and it would flow so great with the beach wind! There was lots of details to play with ( which I really love). The weather was really perfect for the occasion and I got to spend a good amount of time with Rajaee and Nedra right after the ceremony…I guess that’s probably my favorite thing about the weddings…I love photographing just the Bride and the Groom! Thanks guys for a fun time…your wedding really rocked!!

I absolutely adored her dress...

Sorority brothers? oh, yes!

Jen’s Maternity Session

Paula — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 15:08:21 +0000

Jen is my super sweet friend! She and I were pregnant at the same time when I was expecting Miles, and I met her during a natural child birth class. Right off the bat, we really hit if off and have been great friends ever since! Well, now she is expecting again, and she is having a boy!! Wooho!! Good job guys! I know you are so excited to become parents again, and although you are so young, I already admire your hard work and dedication to your family!

May God continue to give you many children ( ha-ha! Jen…I know you are giving me a dirty look right now), but anyways, thanks for your friendship!

p.s. I know that last pic has nothing to do with your pregnancy, but your dogs are so darn cute!

Pic above is priceless!

My favorite ones!

The Perfect Bouquet?

Paula — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 14:48:59 +0000

A few weeks ago, I got to do the coolest shoot ever!! Mark Gladden made the most beautiful bouquet I have ever seen! He put it together with so many colors, textures, feels and lots of beads. Honestly, I love flowers in such a way that I just wanted to photograph a beautiful arrangement, so I called him and told him to make something wow…and WOW…he totally blew my mind. I met Sarah in a commercial photo-shoot I did a few months ago, and I knew I wanted to combine a beautiful woman with a beautiful bouquet. So, I got the perfect combination and voila! You can’t go wrong when all the pieces fit together…the location, the dress, and of course the flowers.

So, thanks guys for going with my idea, I am so happy to be able to showcase Mark’s work and Sarah’s beauty all in one shoot. Enjoy!!

I have really fallen in love with families lately…specially ones with kids in it! I’m admitting that photographing 2 year olds, is quite challenging, but I love it more and more! This is a really sweet family I’ve been working with for quite sometime now and I have really bonded with Eden ( the oldest little girl). Thanks guys for this session and you are such troopers!!

Enjoy!

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing this awesome family! When Dinah called me interested in some family photos, I straight up told her what I like to do with my clients! I first told her, that I would prefer that they would not wear white tops & kakie pants! I also told her that I’d like to go to a few locations. I know at first she was hesitant since she had on her hands 11 people to convince, but she did it! I was so proud of the effort that they made to style up their session a bit.

What are the odds of this pic above? All of them are looking at me! wow!

100% candid!

I loveeee kids!!!

The pic above was my favorite one of the day

This is the most perfect picture! Happy, smily kids that are being who they are!
