Meet Hayes.  If you've followed me for any amount of time then you have seen his sweet smiling face on here before!  He is the son of one of our good friends' Caroline and Chris.  

We took his older brother Cade's 5 year pictures so we of course had to do the same for Hayes.  He did GREAT for our shoot.  He smiled so good for me and introduced me to his dog, Jack.  He even got to take a picture with his favorite toy, so be sure to check the end of the slideshow to see that special picture!  He wants to drive one of these when he grows up!

Thanks so much for using me again!  Enjoy!

 He's such a big boy now!

Hayes and Jack!

And my fave!

Meet Matthew, Delecta and Miss Marli.  Aren't they a beautiful family!?!!?  And just as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside!  That's what makes them so great!

We met downtown to do some updated pictures and we had a blast.  Marli is 2 and on the run!  She and my Bennett are buddies at church.  In fact, while I was editing these, Bennett came and sat in my lap and said, "Marli".  I guess they are better friends than I realized!  

Thank you for allowing me to photograph your precious family.  Marli is an absolute doll!  And I would chase her around anytime!  

Enjoy!

I LOVE this one!  So cute!

And I LOVE this one!  

And this one too!

Meet Kristin and Cary.  This sweet couple will be getting married on October 16th of this year.  

We met out at Thornblade Country Club for our fun shoot.  We drove around and had a blast taking pictures.  I loved watching these two interact.  It was so sweet.  They met through some mutal friends and knew right away that they would be together forever.  I LOVE it when that happens!  

Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer!  We are going to have a great time!  

And now for some amazing pictures....

Wow!!! Do I have something exciting to blog about!!!!  

I had the privlege of being a part of the Upstate Diamond Dash.  What is a diamond dash, you ask?!?! Well, it is a scavenger hunt "amazing race" style!  There were over 270 teams of 2 that were texted clues to their cell phones.  They were given clues to different locations around downtown Greenville.  Once they completed a task, they would text back the answer in order to receive another clue that eventually led to a $25,000 diamond ring!!!  Pretty cool, huh!??!?!  

Congratulations to Clay and Katie who won the $25,000 ring.  They have been dating for 7 years and Clay will be going to MUSC for Medical School.  They ran a very hard race and stuck it out even though one of their bikes died during the race.  So, a big congrats to them for not giving up!  

Hale's Jewelers sponsored the event along with the following businesses. Lazare Kaplan Diamonds, Capello Salon, The Greenville Drive, B 93.7, Shutterbooth, Pink Azalea, Liberty Tap Room, and Jana Candler Photography!  

Be sure to keep your ears open because there will be another one of these amazing events next year!

A HUGE thanks to SCVNGR, the company that put on this awesome event and especially to Hale's Jewelers for allowing me to be a part of it!  Y'all ROCK!!!  And thanks to Marian Ashley for helping me photograph the day, I couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your wedding!  We are going to have a blast working together!
