Smile for the Camera Gracie...

This was a really funny shoot. Gracie - the little one in the pictures was so excited about taking pictures, however, 10 minutes into the shoot she decided that she no longer wanted to take any photos. She would run from the camera and ask me not to take pictures of her. This was just too funny. I had to put on my 75mm - 300mm lense so I could stand off at a distance so that she wouldn't see me really trying to get a shot. LOL Anyhow, we managed to get a few (279) nice shots. Oh, when the shoot was over she got some ice cream and was extremely happy, smiling, and laughing... Why didn't we think of that from the beginning. :)

Family Vacation

The Brenneman family live in Ohio, but they come to Myrtle Beach every summer. I am so glad that they were able to find me to photograph them. This was one of my more difficult shoots because the girls were very vocal and had their own agenda. LOL They are so precious and some of the sweetest  and most outgoing little ones that you will ever meet. With 4 people in the photos it was hard to get shots with everyone looking at me, smiling, or keeping their eyes open. The sun was bright, the wind was blowing soooo hard, and it was freezing cold! However, we were able to get some great shots... I look forward to photographing them again next year.

Ocean Front Property with Fabulous Views

I recently had the opportunity to photograph a few ocean front condos in Garden City Beach. When I got there I was amazed by the beautiful views. The balcony doors were open and the breeze coming in was so relaxing. I could have stayed there all day taking pictures - I felt so relaxed and can see why these condos stay book all summer long. Check out the views for yourself. 

A Soon To Be Mommy...

This young lady is expecting her first child. Before we went to do the photo shoot she told me that she knows she's sexy. I just have to say that not one of her pictures came out bad, she posed like a diva every shot. Even though she is nearly 6 months pregnant she climbed into spots that were hard to get to and walked far and near just to get the perfect pictures.

With Age Comes Beauty!

Mr. Kenneth & Vida Willson are such a cute couple. He tells the jokes while she looks at him out the corner of her eyes, wondering what he will say next. 

I've never seen a couple laugh so much in there pictures - you would have thought I wasn't there. He told jokes and she laughed. I even had to laugh at a few. :) 

I must say he made my job easy because I didn't have to tell the corny jokes to get a smile out of them. They had so many nice shots that I wish I could have posted them all.

Everyone Loves The Beach

I actually met this wonderful family while I was out on the beach with my husband and puppy. It was such a wondeful day that we thought we would go out and get some sun.

This family came a little after us and when I saw them I just knew I had to get some nice shots for them to remember that day. The father took off from work early so that he could take his wife and children out to the beach to build some memories together. How nice - they really enjoyed the pictures and told me how they really didn't have any family pictures.

My goal is to capture people in their elements, if you enjoy going to the park, playground, zoo, beach, out on your boat, etc. let me come and capture those moments so you can remember them for a life time through pictures to pass down to children and grandchildren.

Enjoli Nesmith's Baby Shower

I really enjoy capturing pictures of events such as a baby shower, baptism, after school events, birthdays, etc. These are all events that you should have to worry about trying to capture the moments for later. You should be able to live in the moment - let me worry about getting the shots for you to remember for a lifetime. This shower was a lot of fun - the mommy to be was ready for every shot. She should be due any day now. Mrs. Nesmith was very pleased with her photo's and was glad that she left the photography up to Kyomi's Kreation's. She liked the fact that every detail was captured - every expression was caught, the quality was great and she'll be able to share that moment with her precious baby girl Khalia, when she is born.

A Pet Lovers Photo Shoot

I am and have always been a huge animal lover. I also married a man that has owned everything from iguana, pirana, caiman, pythons, to even a kinkajou. I always enjoy shooting animals because they are effortlessly adorable. If you have an extra family member that you just love - why not capture them in picture. After all they are are a part of the family!

Burial Service for a Fallen Veteran

Shirley Nesbitt had to bury her husband 4 days after the actual funeral. Her daughter and grandchildren had to fly back home and were unable to see the burial ceremony. Though this is not a moment that most want to remember, she wanted them to see photos of this ceremony for closure. It was a very beautiful service and I enjoyed being there to console the family in their time of grief. Though I don't want to do many of these, I know that my services were greatly appreciate. As you can see - there are all kinds of reasons that one may need a photographer, think outside of the box...

I designed a memory book with pictures from the past as well as some of these photos for them, it turned out beautiful. If you are interested in having a memory book with a cover please let me know so we can discuss details.

A GQ Photo-shoot

This was a fun photo shoot I did in Atlanta, Ga. with my little cousin Drake Barber. Drake is in College to become a Psychologist. 

At the time he was working as an on-air personality for  90.1 WJOU out of Huntsville, AL. 

We had a fun time exploring Atlanta and getting some really nice shots of him.
