Am I back already???

Hi there friends. I can't believe my time away went soooo fast! I spent most of the week relaxing on the beach and frolicking in the ocean. It was a much needed and dare I say it.... much deserved VACATION! I haven't taken any real time away in quite a few years. Actually, I haven't taken break since the birth of Dream Image Photography. I so enjoyed myself and my family. Timothy went along for the trip too. We all had a great time. On the last day we took in a show (the Le Grande Cirque)! It was quite a treat. I left inspired to get physically fit, to become stronger and to just live better... healthier. If you ever get the chance you should definitely check out the show!

So now we'll get ready for Tameika and Travis' wedding! We're shooting Tameika's Bridal portraits this weekend. I know that Tameika will make a beautiful bride. Unfortunately we won't be able to post of photo from her bridal session until after the wedding.

I guess that's it for now. It's time to get back to work!!! Albums, Albums, Albums! We're almost caught up. :) Until next time, be blessed.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Me and my girls! .... Where's Shawn???

My Mom's birthday was last Wednesday! Isn't she beautiful! I won't tell her age, but let me just say that she could fool a lot of people. :) We had a blast at her birthday dinner. We have this new tradition in my family ( extended family and all)... the birthday person chooses a restaurant and we all meet up and have dinner. Well, because my Mom's birthday "snuck" :) up on us... not everyone could make it. We still managed to sit for almost 3 hours, eating, chatting, laughing, watching her open her gifts and just having a great time. The cool thing is... is that we're going to do it again when we can have more party guests!


Red Lobster was her restaurant of choice. She has this thing for seafood... she LOVES seafood. I think she could probably eat it everyday. The best part of the dinner for me was by far THE CAKE!!!!!!!! Yum, yum, yum! It was a pink lemonade cake from Strossners.
My sister Gina came down from Charlotte to attend the festivities. She's a real birthday party kind of a girl. She always brings the balloons! She says it's not a party without balloons. I must say, the dozens of pink balloons she brought to my birthday dinner was quite a beautiful sight. I have new love for all things pink as a result.


All in all, it was a great time had by all. Happy " " Birthday Mom! I love you verrrrrrrrrryyyy much! Well that's a wrap for now. I'll post again soon! Until next time, I pray that you will be blessed.

Donald and Andretta!

On Sunday we hung out with my "best" cousin Donald Robinson and his fiance' Andretta! :) What a beautiful couple they make. We started with a few studio portraits and thought that since the weather was a bit overcast, that it would be a good idea to get some shots of them on location in downtown Greenville. Well. . . the minute we got downtown the sun came out and boy was it HOT!!! Donald and Andretta were troopers however ... bearing the heat to allow us to get a few great shots of them in the great outdoors. :)

The following is just a little sneak peak of the session. Thanks to Donald and Andretta for allowing us to capture their obvious love for each other! It was truly a pleasure. Until next time be blessed.

A day in the Park

Last Tuesday I got to hang out with Ashley Harmon and her mom Heidi in downtown Greenville. Ashley needed to get some portraits done because she was preparing to participate in the Miss South Carolina Teen Pageant. It was held this past weekend and was sponsored by the National American Miss Organization. So we decided to have a little session at the beautiful Falls Park. I had such a great time and the images just speak for themselves. Ashley did extremely well in the pageant placing in the top ten out of 59 young ladies!!! She won 1st runner up in the "Most Promising Model" competition, 1st runner up in the "Casual Wear" competition and Fabulous 4th in the "Miss Photogenic" competition!!! Ashley is quite a beautiful young lady and I wish her all the best! Thanks to Ashley and Heidi for inviting me to capture her essence and light.

The following are just a few images from the session. Until next time, be blessed.
