Welcome to Life Stories...

Welcome to My Life's Story! Mine is made up of so many wonderful people-purposfully woven together! Everything we do is with and for each other and I am so glad that you have taken the time to stop by- so grab your favorite cup of coffee and Enjoy!

What I love most: my family, my friends, my son's giggles when he thinks he is getting away with something... great conversation, anything with a good title, bold coffee, anyone with a zest for life, exciting and fresh ideas, anything crafty, getting my hands dirty, dancing in the rain and weddings! (all weddings!)

I am happiest: when I can share what I see through a lens. Just as there are no two people alike, neither are views on life. I strive to uniquely photograph any event or person so their style can easily be seen.

"Life Happens... Picture it Boldly!"

Would love to hear from you~ If you would like to leave a comment feel free or email me at

Matt & Kristy...

I first met Matt and Kristi at Cari and Andy's wedding back in the fall. You see, Kristi is Andy's sister. So when she called me about photographing their wedding I was really excited because working with Cari and Andy had been wonderful and their families and friends were great. I am positive that Kristi and Matt's day will be one of celebrating love, family (and friends) and laughter... Lots of laughter!

I know this because they just seem to be having the time of their life and their relationship is full of laughter! (#1 key ingredient is to enjoy being with each other, and they have it full stock!) They are a beautiful couple and I am so excited to be a part of your day. I am looking forward to your wedding guys- thanks again for having me. Hope you love your photos as much as I do ~S.

Missy & Chris...

Missy and Chris are the cutest couple. We had fun shooting around Walter Jones mostly because they are just so easy going and laid back. You can tell that they are at complete ease with each other and seem to really fit together. I can't wait for their wedding in September where they are marrying in the beautiful city of Charleston. See you guys soon! Enjoy!~S.

Ani & Tyler... Sweet Beginnings.

Many words are not needed for Ani and Tyler's very special day as a picture is worth a thousand words. Theirs was simple, elegant and gorgeous. With a few of their closest friends and family gathered they spoke promised words and sealed them with honey sweet kisses. In between courses of wonderful food and the occasional rain drop, we spent time on the grounds of Club Continental for portraits before heading down town to capture more fun and unique photos that really captured the essence of who they are. My most sincere thanks to Wes for all of his help and expertise- I could not have done it without you! Ani and Tyler- Thanks for inviting me to share your day with you. I pray many blessings over your new life together! Enjoy!~ S.
