Toiya and Victor



We had the pleasure of hanging out with Toiya and Victor as we shot their engagement portraits in Greenville, S.C. They make such a great couple! I'm sure the wedding will be a beautiful event. (too bad we won't have the honor of shooting the wedding!) Actually the wedding will be held in Nashville TN, where the couple is from. We met Toiya at the Wedding Festivals show back in September. We wish you guys the very best with your wedding and the move to
CANADA!!! Thanks for letting us document this time in your lives.





















To all of you who are interested in Christmas pictures and custom designed Christmas cards, give us a call (864.275.4717) or shoot us an email at: info@dreamimagephoto.com , as we will be booking those sittings soon! I can't believe its already time to start thinking about Christmas. Where does time go???

Well, that's it for now. Until the next post.... ~Stephenie

The boy in the puppy suit!

It's almost Halloween and we had the pleasure of spending some time with little Roland Williams as he posed... well, sort of... for his Halloween pictures. :) This was really Roland and Tim's shoot. He (Timothy) is really good with kids... something about him that they can relate to. Maybe it's because he's really a big kid! The session went from "Halloween Costume Session" to "watch me move in my PJs!" He was a lot of fun! Once he got used to the camera and the basketball of course... he showed his "future Model" personality by striking all kinds of poses. Thanks to his parents for letting us capture their sweet little puppy boy! Until next time~Stephenie

Christopher and Tanika

Chris and Tanika's wedding was a FANTASTIC event!!! We enjoyed every minute of the day. The ceremony was held in the beautiful sanctuary of First Baptist of Mauldin. This day was all about love, family, friends and Music! And anyone that knows me, knows that I'm all about the music! Guest arrived early to witness the pre-ceremony musical tribute by Faith Davis. Tanika along with all of the guest were caught by surprise when Christopher grabbed a microphone and serenaded her as she and her father walked down the isle!

The reception was held at the Allen Temple Community development Center immediately following the ceremony. More friends, family and Music. The couple concluded the evening with a duet. They sang "For Always" by Atlantic Star before making their departure! We really enjoyed having Tanika and Chris as clients. Hope you guys have a blast on your honeymoon and we'll talk to you soon!

Until next time ~ Stephenie

Playing catch up!


OK... I'm obviously going to have to work a little harder at making regular posts! I've discovered lately that I could really use an assistant. We can all say that right? Well, until that day comes, I'll just do my best to keep up with it all! :)

So, Dream Image (we'll call ourselves "the dreamers") have been running practically non-stop lately. We had a great opportunity to attend a seminar last week where three of the industry's heavy weights shared their knowledge and advice.
Mike Colon (world renowned photographer and my professional hero!) Skip Cohen of WPPI and Jeff Jochum of Pictage. What an absolute treat and an invaluable experience! We learned so much and have already begun using the information in the business of Dream Image.

Timothy took this picture of me and Mike Colon. Mike was nice enough to autograph one of his DVD's for me. Thank you Mike for being so open with your knowledge and experience. I really admire your giving spirit.

Well, that's it for this post. There will be more to come! Until next time~ Stephenie

It's been a while!

OK... Keeping us with the blog has presented some challenges! Finding the time seems harder and harder these days. But I'm not complaining. We've been busy with Baby Shoots, toddler shoots and engagement shoots. Oh, and did I forget to mention the weddings!!! Our next wedding will be on October 21st! Tanika and Chris are tying the knot! Hopefully they'll give us permission to post some of their wedding photos on the blog. The week after, we'll be shooting Diane and James' wedding in Spartanburg.

I'd like to take a minute and just say THANK YOU to Karen. She has really been a tremendous help to us! The materials look great and her dedication is superb! Thanks Karen.

Well that's all for now. I'm gonna make an effort to keep up with the blog! :)

Until next time
