Ashley River Christmas Party

Our Sunday School class at Ashley River had a CRAZY 80's Christmas Party! It was HILARIOUS to see all the hideous 80's outfits. :-) We had Bessinger's BBQ...THE BEST in town. Plus everyone brought tons of other munchies and sweets. Entertainment included designing our own Christmas tree ornaments, fun fellowship, and several guessing games. I won the jar of Hershey's kisses and traded it for the jar of Peanut M&M's...my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE candy. So if you're looking for ideas on what to send me as a stocking stuffer...there you go! Hehe!!! (You can see more pictures on my Facebook Page.)

Susan & Eddie's Storybook

Susan & Eddie's wedding at The Riviera was such a treat for me. And since Cami & I have been "in the creative groove" all week, we are SUPER excited to share one of the spreads from their storybook with you. In case it's too small to tell, the image on the right is a close-up of their rings, settled into the hilt of his saber, with a candle glowing in the background to set the mood. The text in the upper right is from their First Dance song, and was woven throughout their book to tie the storyline together. It came out AWESOME!

Working with Friends

Working with friends is always so much fun! When our good friends and colleagues, Bill & Kelli Nixon came up with this great idea of "trading shoots", we jumped on it. So Cami and I loaded up our 13 year old dog, Henry, and met up with the Nixon Crew at Boone Hall. Here are some of the shots I took. Didn't Kelli do a GREAT job picking out outfits?!? :-) And that last shot of the boys hugging their legs was Kelli's idea...I LOVE IT! Later I'll share some of the ones they took of Cami and I with good ol' Henry. They're SO CUTE!

Millicent & Derien's Storybook

Millicent & Derien's Storybook really came out BEAUTIFULLY! As an artist, when you're designing or creating book designs, there are times when you just feel like you're "in the groove". This was one of those times and we're very happy with the results. The book really showcases Millicent & Derien's wedding day in an elegant way!

PUG Christmas Party

Last night was the Christmas Party for the Charleston Chapter of our PUG (or Pictage Users Group). Our friends Rob & Liz Duren hosted the event. They have SUCH a beautiful home and are such wonderful people. We had so much fun!!!

Earnest F. Hollings NWR

Sunday is typically our day off. So after church Cami and I enjoyed a nice matinee movie, complete with popcorn and Cheri Coke. After we got home it was just so pretty out that I decided to head down to the Earnest F. Hollings ACE Basin National Wildlife Refuge for a stroll. It's a BEAUTIFUL place and I was rewarded with some amazing light and a peaceful experience. I was the ONLY person there the entire afternoon. I hope you get a chance to go visit.

Santa & The Grinch

Cami & I were out walking Henry the other day and who should we bump into by Santa Clause and The Grinch. They driving around in their convertible handing out candy to the kids in our neighborhood. So I snagged a couple shots before the zipped on down the road with their beards flappin' in the chilly breeze. :-)
