This was SO MUCH FUN!  I loved the creativity that grew from this session...moms, girls, me...we all let the creative juices flow.  Shelby, the diva, did not disappoint (per usual) by being fun and fabulous, but she also stepped up by being a leader and role model for her little cousin, Celia.  Celia had a ball, to say the least!  She ran and played and made everyone there laugh.  Pure preciousness.  <3

I love how the choice of red popped in these photos.  So gorgeous against all that greenery!

Gray

was born on May 3rd at 12:48 PM and is my first NIECE!  I have three nephews, so ​my family was so excited about the newest sassy addition.  Gray was a long baby (and getting longer by the day) at 21 inches and weighed 8 lbs., 5 oz., a full pound bigger than her older brother.  Our family is in love with the bright-eyed, strong baby girl!

Want to add a splash of color back into a black and white photo?  This is the tutorial for you!  There are many ways to achieve this effect in Photoshop, however, this is the quickest, simplest way, in my opinion.

Children are a gift from the Lord​; they are a reward from Him.  Psalm 127:3
Children are my favorite subjects to photograph.  As I have been spreading my wings into the matrimonial world, I am so pleased that I get to have moments with my first love:  children.

Children of the Chewning wedding did not disappoint!  They were all smiles and had GREAT behavior for the bride and groom's big day!  Thank you, Michelle and Chase, for not only sharing your special day with me but sharing these precious children with me as well.

Client Memoirs Make the Best Photos

12/31/2018

0 Comments

 
Usually I request that clients bring special memoirs with them to their photoshoots to help bring my creative vision alive and to make their photos something to remember for a lifetime.  These memoirs along with any special requests from the clients' Pinterest boards help make beautiful photos. 

Brittany

Picture
Brittany was having her senior photoshoot done, so, naturally, she wanted her class ring included and accentuated and a photo showing her tattoo. However, my favorite piece from Brittany's photoshoot was a necklace from her grandmother. These types of pieces (and now these photos) will always be special to Brittany and her family.
Picture
Brittany, thank you for including me in your memories.  You became my "kid" when you walked into my classroom in the sixth grade and you will always be one of mine.  I love you and wish nothing but success and happiness for you in the future.

4 Reasons to Request Black and White Photos

12/28/2018

0 Comments

 
Not all photographers offer black and white photography and/or the client must request this specific style of edit.  Here are 4 reasons you should request black and white photos from your photographer:

Timeless.

Black and white photos are classic images that live beyond fads.  As we close out 2018, it is easy to reflect on the many photography fads throughout this year:  bright & airy, matte, texturing, dark & moody, and more, but black and white photos are timeless.  You'll never look back on these photos and wish you hadn't asked for them.
Picture

Drama.

There is actually a lot of versatility when it comes to black and white photography.  Many people think of one type of "look" with B&Ws, but playing with different shades of gray and contrast can add drama to a photo.  
Picture

Emotion.

There's just something raw about black and white photos.  They reveal emotions through visual memories that words simply wouldn't be able portray. 
Picture

Beauty.

Do you not agree that black and white photos are beautiful?  The simplicity and grace warms my heart and brings a smile to my face.

5 Reasons to Book Blake Lloyd Photography for Your South Carolina Photography Needs

12/27/2018

0 Comments

 
Blake Lloyd, a former student of mine and founder of Blake Lloyd Photography, is an aspiring photographer in the Pee Dee region of South Carolina.  Blake is currently taking courses to learn Photoshop and apprenticing to learn all that she can about photography.  Here are 5 reasons you should book Blake Lloyd Photography for your next family session or event:

Budget.

Picture
Blake's photography business is perfect for anyone who needs quality images on a budget.  Because she is a student, her prices are on the lower side, however (and equally), because she is a student, she is learning more and more about technology that most seasoned photographers do not know.  Student photographers, like Blake, are the way to go!

Flexibility.

Again, Blake's age comes into play here.  Because she is young, she is open to more ideas and is very flexible.  Blake is eager to learn and open to new experiences in the photography world, therefore, will be flexible when it comes to your photography needs.
Picture

Creativity.

Picture
I love following all sorts of photographers from around the world because it helps spark my creativity and Blake Lloyd Photography is no exception.  While working with Blake over the past six months, we have been able to learn from each other and become more and more creative. 

Passion.

Picture
One thing I love about working with students is their passion!  Blake is confident in her future and putting in the work for Blake Lloyd Photography. When you book a session with Blake, you will not have to worry about the time and effort spent on your photos and, ultimately, your memories.  Her passion for photography will ensure quality images. 

Perspective.

This was my favorite part about working with Blake.  Each photographer brings his/her own perspective to the table and I loved seeing the world through Blake's.  *When* you book your session with Blake Lloyd Photography, you'll be promised a fresh perspective.
