this year for the holidays, it was all about relaxing. and i'm so glad I had the ability/priveledge to do so. it was nice just enjoying company, family, sleep, and coffee... all kinds of flavors.

as the snow started coming down christmas night, we all got excited, but to wake to it the next morning was even better. here's just a few photos of our day at my parents house enjoying the snow! a special treat... the birdhouse. love me some bird houses.



you can tell when you live in the south if you take photos of pecans :)

{my new lens!}

hello all! can i get an amen for christmas break?? Oh my, did I need that. Lots of coffee, relaxing, reading magazines, and lounging on the couch. I feel SO much better and ready to tackle the new year! We enjoyed a great snow the day after christmas, fun times in it and a great time with our families. Pics of those to come on tomorrows post!

For now... I'd like to show you some shots I took of our wedding rings with my new macro lens, and ring light flash. Man, does this open tons of doors! How awesome is this! I know many of them may look similar, but pay attention to the lighting... this flash has many features! I'm in love.



this photo below was without my ringlight flash... nice that it pulls in a lot of the background colors and softens up the photos. i love both options.
back to the ringlight flash...


lastly... playing with the depth of field and the possibilities... notice my entire camera in my husbands eye... wow. the depth! notice the slight amount of eyelashes... and how they fade into the distance...
amazed with the possibilities of what this new lens can do! excited about my shoot today with a family of 8! photos to come soon!

{bridal} rachel

about time right? well, the bride and i set out on a gorgeous summerish day in greenville, sc to tackle some bridals. we found lots of fun new little avenues in falls park, and wondered around. she was such a great sport, climbing every where and full of a free spirit. her cute little jade shoes matched and her personality really shows through. i can finally release these images, the couple got married this past weekend and i was fortunate enough to be their wedding photographer, and had two other guys at my right hand. stay tuned for their wedding photography!
