Winding Down | Savannah to Chicago Photographer

I have been working on this post for about a week. Every time I go to write it, I get a little blue and walk away. It is time to move back to Chicago.

See, I love Savannah….let me say that again. I LOVE Savannah. I never thought this city girl from the suburbs of Chicago would ever enjoy living in the south. But it didn’t take me long to fall in love with Savannah.

It is a great place to be a parent. We enjoyed so many excursions, to Fort Pulaski, Tybee Beach, Hilton Head, Oatland Island Wildlife Center, River Walk, the many historic squares…I could go on and on.

It has also been a great place to be a photographer. Not only for myself, but for the many clients I had the privilege to work with. Whether they were tourists from out of town, or home grown here in Savannah. My business grew faster than I could have imagined. I could only hope that the same success follows me to Chicago.

I will be back….I couldn’t stay away. But until then, here is a few shots from our last trip to Tybee….for now.

Stacy Sturgis - Awwww this makes me sad! I will miss chatting with you on Twitter!! :)

Alexis E. - Can I just say you made my day when I saw this? I follow you because of Betty Ospina and SouthernMamas.com. We just moved to Chicagoland (Crown Point IN) from Savannah and I have been looking everywhere for a photographer! I haven’t found anyone that catches my eye but with you coming here I can’t say that anymore! I love your work! You will have some eager clients waiting when you arrive!

JILL - Lamby on the beach! How special!

Claire Hunter - I can only imagine how sad you must be to leave! Savannah looks like a beautiful place! Good Luck on your move!

kristen reed - love these, really beautiful shots!

Tybee and Savannah Love | Engagement Photographer

This couple came my way via Columbia, SC. See, although they live far away, they try and get back to Savannah anyway they can. Who can blame them?

In fact, Tybee is where Justin proposed to Emily. Since they couldn’t decide between a Savannah session and a Tybee session, they thought, why not both?

These two couldn’t be more adorable together. They have done plenty of the long distance thing, and now they are ready to do the til death do us part thing.

Congrats Justin and Emily!

Brother and Sister on the Beach! | Child Photographer

This session had to be postponed a couple times due to the weather…you just never know when rain may pop up on the Georgia Coast. Thankfully, the day we ended up shooting was gorgeous!

I was prepared for Miss C, little girls always love having their picture taken. However, Mr. A, being  a pre-teen himself…well, I wasn’t quite sure how excited he would be about having his portraits done. Luckily he was a fantastic sport, and I worked with two of the most well behaved children ever. Be proud mama!

We got to play around the beach, even pretended to be lifeguards.

Claire - stunning images!

Chris the Kansas City Baby Photographer - I’m jealous. The only beach I have near me is lake side one where a tractor dumped some sand. If I lived near a beach I’d just open the studio right on the water and tell my clients to bring their swim trunks.

She Said Yes! | Engagement Photographer

Men, take note….this is how you do it.

Tim contacted me months ago to tell me had this grand plan to propose to his girlfriend while they were visiting Savannah in May. He had everything planned, down to the carriage ride, the square he would be proposing in, everything.

I don’t know how he was able to wait all this time to finally pop the question, my own husband had the ring in his pocket a mere minutes before proposing to me while I was cleaning! But his patience paid off, because he couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day to ask Cresent to marry him.

On the big day, I got a text from Tim, letting me know he was on his way in the carriage with Cresent. I had brought my husband and daughter along as decoys. While I was being snap happy with them, Tim and Cresent pulled up and walked to the gazebo in Whitefield Square.

Little did Cresent know that as soon as they entered the gazebo, my camera turned to them and I caught the proposal, bent knee and everything! To say she was surprised would have been an understatement.

It was great to be a part of this magical day, and I wish you both ALL the happiness in the world!
