Steph + Brendan {Engagement Photography} Charleston SC

As it is the holidays and well, yup I like maybe one or two other people have tons to accomplish and only a few hours to do it.
This year has been a blessing in sooooo many ways that words cant compare and as I draw near the ending of the year I want to personally thank those whom have supported me.

For example Steph was a person that attended my yoga classes years ago and bought one of my first pieces of “art”.  A beautiful rectangular print of surfers coming out of the ocean in the morning amidst fog, the Folly pier…tons of emotion, an image that I felt STOKED about.  So did steph.  She bought my work and well, it definitely helped the confidence a bit, thanks Steph.  Now she is engaged to a guy I think any of else would be thankful to have as friend.  Dude is solid….which I am finding absolutely fantastic as virtually all whom I blessed to work with this past year have been absolutely brilliant!

Anywho, these two and I got together for a portrait session in one of my favorite spots in Charleston to photograph, Hampton Park.
Tree climbing, coffee and sugar [by my sweeties business YesUmay Cookies found in local stores, if your fortunate at my favorite coffee spot, Hope and Union!], sunshine and a sweet carolina fall.

perfect.

Published: Charlie Magazine {Editorial/Lifestyle Photography} Remote Montana Trout Streams and Backcountry SC marshes

Pretty excited about this post as it is in regards to an article recently written about a friend and client whom I am blessed to know and work with.  Not long ago I posted a teaser from the shoot, say a week or so ago….ahhhh holidays, the time in the year when blinking an eye and the week is gone is the norm LOL.  Anywho, the article came out today and I am stoked for the photo editors selection, the props given to Free Fly [whom makes what I consider the BEST longsleeve for outdoor wear that I have ever found...that says something coming from the guy that BEATS THE TAR out of his hiking/fishing/foraging gear!].  You can view the whole piece expertly written by Caroline Millard for Charlie Magazine here.

Published: Wall Street Journal {Editorial Photography} West Ashley SC

Recently some really fantastic and interesting projects have come my way.  One such was a lifestyle editorial piece for a newspaper that I consider one of the best I have ever encountered, The Wall Steet Journal.  When I began broadening my learning of the world around me the Journal was an early guide.  To be asked to shoot for the paper has been a big highlight in my professional career…one I hope continues and if not is something that personally I recognize as a huge gift.  Its been interesting learning the ins and outs of corporate and major editorial publications.  More paperwork, more emails and a voice that says I am here in NY and you in SC, you got this.  My confidence each time grows and I’d be lying if I did not acknowledge the anxiety I create.  And as always all is well.  Good times.

Cortney Bishop Interior Design {Lifestyle Photography} Charleston SC

Courtney recently gave me a holler for a quick shoot to create test images for an upcoming New York Times piece.  How absolutely brilliant are these combinations of modern, personal and classic!??!?!  and then to add in the effervescent Courtney with her ear to ear smile! perfect way to spend an afternoon on sullivans.

Butcher + Bee {Food Photography} Charleston SC

A local restraunteur and friend Michael Shemtov of the Mellow Mushroom here in Charleston and West Ashley recently opened a new concept for a local eatery, Butcher & Bee.

In speaking with him one day about the project he said something that as I recall now is probably not spot on exactly what he said and my memory calls this summation to account.
“B+B is not about emphasizing the source of the product, its a given that its sourced consciously, sustainably and locally.  I dont want to say this is _______’s ranch lamb, it was said by a chef [i think Micael Mina] “its should be a given the ingredients are the best….a restaurant should be about technique not the name of the dirt whatever came from” and I relate to this.  B+B is about introducing relatable and at times foreign sandwhiches and sides in a setting that is communal.  I want the community to have this space to meet, to eat, to enjoy.”  Solid.

Further emphasizing his belief in service, his hours reflect a different approach.  11-3 and 11-3….yes thats right, late night.  F+Br’s can eat a killer burger or middle eastern schug while pulling down the latest hip wine that the one really awesome table of the night left after dinner [side note; to the person/couple that left me the Margaux Margaux 1994...I still tear up thinking about that 1/2 glass after service even after all these years ago.  heck that glass led to a complete flowering in my studies and appreciation of wine...and thats another story].

So for the early birds or night hawks, you have yet another fantastic option in this great culinary city of Charleston to experience.
