Mentoring/ coaching is for you, if…

  • You daydream about more professional-looking images from your DSLR camera, but just can’t figure it out.
  • You are beginning a career in photography and you want to bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be with your business.
  • You have invested in Adobe Photoshop Elements or higher and haven’t a clue where to start.
  • If this is your choice, you are entering for a 2 hour limit coaching session via phone or video.

A photo session is for you, if…

  • You would love professional images taken of you with quality time spent on the session… before, during, and afterwards with custom, digi-fabulous images as proof! (Nothing against them, but in comparison to the quick, ‘sit and say cheese; here’s your images’ sessions)
  • If this is your choice, you are entering for a 2 hour limit, outdoor location within a 50 mile radius of Lexington, SC 29072; 4 subject maximum ($25 for each additional subject) session. There is a $50 fee to reserve your date on my calendar; however, that fee will be credited back to you as a part of your print order. Prints sold separately.
{Offer must be redeemed within the year 2011, as 2010 is completely booked}

    I would love to win a session with you because your pictures are not only beautiful they also tell a story and when you look at them you get a sense of feeling of what is happening in the pictures such as love, pride, and joy! Keep up the fantastic work girl!

    Love, Krystal

    I have always been interested in photography, within the last year my urge to take photographs has really grown. There are so many things to learn about photography and more less its a gift that takes a lot of artistic yet original and unique talent. I feel that you are born with talent it isn't necessarily something that you can learn from someone else, its just something naturally in you that seems to come alive when photographing.

    Your pictures are really awesome and who wouldn't want to not only learn from a very talented photographer but also be able to make my very own pictures look totally awesome and come alive all at the same time. My dream is to have a successful photography business one day. With a having a 13 month-old now, it sure would be an awesome career to have, to spend more time with my family and to do something I really LOVE. Kids are my passion and by far they are my favorite to photograph (as you can see by my Facebook albums) πŸ™‚

    Just by looking at your photographs, without even knowing the individuals you can tell exactly what is going on in the picture itself. I know you definitely would inspire me to do so much more with my work, your photographs speak for themselves and I want to have the confidence to produce great pictures as well. I look forward to learning many great things from you πŸ™‚ ~Heather~

    Finally, just to hit the 4th way to enter and endanger myself for being flagged as spam on your blog… I would love to have some one on one time with you so that I could improve my photography. I am excited about possibly starting to do pet photography (and what ever else that leads to) and would love some tips/hints/and mostly advice from a friend and fantastic photog.

    Why wouldn't I would want to win? I am JSO and have been since last December. I am a stay at home mom whose children grew up and left her for an education. I have a dream, and I am chasing it. I want to provide people with beautiful memories of their life. I want to help them to see how they have had happy times when life gets tough (there are always tough times)~~happy times will return. I would love some direction from someone who has a successful business and seems to have a style comparable to where I am headed.

These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing
These fellas had a heckuva start to their fishing tournament season this past Saturday. πŸ˜… First, their typical boat captain was under the weather, so had to play switch-a-roo on boat *and* captain. Then, about 11am during the tournament the boat they were in broke down, leaving them only the section of the lake they could access with the trolling motor. Thankfully, a fellow team boat captain (and our church pastor!) was able to return his anglers to weigh-in, then make the run across the lake to snatch up these two fellas and get them to the dock in time for weigh-in. SHEW Y’ALL! πŸ˜…πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« They still managed 4 of the 5 fish limit with 10.04 lbs. πŸ™Œ

Last weekend we spontaneously took off and made way to Gettysburg, PA! Gus absolutely LOVES history and has been wanting to do this trip for a while. We knew we better fit it in before he’s too much older, and it was one of the only weekends we had open. πŸ€ͺ On the way, we stopped in Lexington, VA as well to visit some cemeteries he had researched. We saw the memorial for General Stonewall Jackson and also the museum and mausoleum at Washington and Lee University where General Robert E. Lee and family were laid to rest. 

Once we made it to Gettysburg we spent 1.5 days exploring the area. We spent most of our time at the National Military Battlefield and Museum. 

On the way home, we also stopped by Antietam Battlefield and Appomattox Court House National Historic Park. 

We basically hit the road with only the goals of making it to Lexington and Gettysburg. All the rest fell into place as we drove and researched. πŸ˜œπŸ˜… We found some AWESOME AirBnB’s doing it that way, though!!! Near Lexington, we found the coolest glamping/tent situation nestled on a 100acre organic farm and animal rescue. And while in Gettysburg, a barn apartment! Both were 5 ⭐️!!!

These boys placed 10th out of 81 boats last year!!
These boys placed 10th out of 81 boats last year!!! They also do not have a bass boat nor forward-facing sonar technology like a lot of them fish with, but they still pulled in fish and made it count! They practiced hard, researched, and learned how to lead in their own ways, with each other, in the boat.

We are entering the 2nd year that Providence Athletic Club (PAC) has had a fishing team, so it’s in its developmental years. PAC’s mission and purpose is to provide competitive level sports opportunities in the Columbia, SC area for home-educated athletes (grades 6-12), while developing both physically and spiritually in a Christian environment.

Each boat has to have a volunteer boat captain, who puts his/ her own time and money into boat insurance, fuel hauling the boat all over SC, and then also making sometimes 60 mile runs or more (round trip) in the boat once on the water. We would like to help raise some money to be able to pay these individuals back for their gas expense at least, so we are seeking sponsors for our anglers.

If anyone knows me, you know this is one of the things I hate to do the most- ask people for money. πŸ˜… But I also know not everyone is like me and people love to help, as well. πŸ’œ

The anglers also wear jerseys with sponsor logos, who contribute $200 or more, but any amount will be greatly appreciated. The jersey design will be much different this year than the one pictured, giving the sponsors more real estate on the jersey. So, with all that said, if you would like to sponsor these two fine, young men, please let me know. PAC also is a non-profit organization, so it can be a tax write-off.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far. 😁 #bassfishing #southcarolina #sponsors #homeschool @basscatboats 😁

πŸŒ»πŸ‰ Summer Photo Dump 6 πŸ‰πŸŒ»

Mid-July we got the family together out on the river! We got all set up on a sandbar for the day, to be able to just chill- have a picnic and let the littles play their hearts out. Well… that was our hopes at least. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ«  About an hour later, ALLLLL the boats showed up (group of friends) and just beached it right where we were swimming with the kids. I will never understand this… I am just of the mindset if you missed out on the sandbar, you missed out. Not… β€œwell, we’ll just squeeze right in here on top of y’all.” But whatever. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« AmIright? Is that not the unwritten, understood law of the river rats? 🀣

Beach days are the best days!!! We were able to make 2 different day trips to the coast this summer. 

1. We are thankful for sweet friends who allow us to crash their family camping vacation for a day! 🀣 

2. And we are thankful for another group who are willing to up and haul their families to the coast for a day, too! πŸ€—
