I would like to share with you someone who is just as beautiful inside as well as outside, Miss Kelsey!

Kelsey will be graduating this month from Coastal Carolina University, congratulations Kelsey! After which she will return to Kansas to fulfill her dream of becoming a dentist, I think she will be great! She has an awesome personality!

After meeting Kelsey at my moonlighting job, we started talking photos and how she wanted to have some made to remember her time here in Myrtle Beach. So, we made a date to make some beautiful beach photos!

As the time approached for photos, a storm was coming and the wind was blowing C R A Z Y on the beach! The sand was blowing hard from the 30-40 mph wind and stinging as if a thousand little bugs were biting all at once, it hit you hard, getting in your eyes, stinging the back of your legs and arms because you had to walk backwards, it was not a great time to be out on the beach ahead of a big storm! The good thing about it though, the beach was empty! Kelsey was a trooper through it all and we captured some beautiful images during mother natures sandblasting!

And as you might have guessed, the rain started, it was coming down at a pretty good rate so we decided to take off to another location and wait out the rain, we could see blue sky behind the storm. I’m so glad we waited too, a very beautiful rainbow appeared out over the horizon on the ocean after the rain had stopped and we set out to capture it! Dark clouds, wind, rain, wet sand, and a beautiful rainbow made the day great for some awesome photos!

We also made some pictures from around Conway on Friday, we had a great time just walking around, posing here and there, and capturing some cool images!

Thank you Kelsey for allowing me the opportunity to make you some beautiful pictures and congratulations again on graduating from Coastal! I know you will go far and be successful in all you do!

P.S. Sorry for so many photos! I couldn’t pick just a few, so I picked a bunch!

Hope you enjoy them!

Today, I spent a few moments taking snap shots of things around me, to remind me, how good this lens is. If you have manged to stay this long and read this far, you’re probably wondering what in the world am I talking about? What crazy talk he speaks! Perhaps so, but I just want to share some of the images from the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM and mention that this lens is great! From it’s narrow depth of field, to it’s awesome color and contrast!

During it’s visit, I put it to work twice. Once was during Amanda and Billy’s wedding that you may have read about on a previous post, I used it for a family portrait session this past Saturday, and again while playing with the kitty’s in the back yard.

A few of the images from today…

Live your life at it’s fullest, Laugh at all the things that don’t matter, Love with all you have and more…

Brittany is a “G.R.I.T.S” girl! You might be asking what is G.R.I.T.S.? Well, it stands for Girls Raised In The South! How cool is that! She loves the outdoors, loves the country, loves the long summer days, and livin’ down on the farm!

We had a great time making photos for her senior year. We started the session off with Yellow, Brittany’s horse, he was a little skittish at first, but he soon calmed down and we captured some great photos!

Here a few of her photos from down on the farm!
Sorry for posting so many, I couldn’t help myself! :D

G.R.I.T.S. are awesome!

I had a great time Brittany and I’ll talk to you soon!
