a late summer evening by the Ashley River, a stunning backdrop for an engagement session won by the dynamic duo, Katie and Chris, thanks to a cheeky little Facebook promotion I threw out there. Little did they know that this photographer had a few tricks up her sleeve, including insisting that their fur baby, the one and only Balue, steals the spotlight.

Now, let me tell you about Balue. This little furball of cuteness not only made me contemplate a life of dog-napping but also added a whole new level of adorable chaos to the session. Who could resist smothering him with love? Not me, that’s for sure!

Engagement sessions might start with everyone feeling like they’ve stepped onto mars, but ……. it’s all just smoke and mirrors. My mission? Break through the awkwardness and capture the real deal, genuine, unfiltered love.

As we strolled along the Ashley River, laughter and love found its rhythm . Katie and Chris, initially hesitant, soon showed their true colors. The camera became a confidant, witnessing the authentic connection between them. And Balue? Well, he was the four-legged VIP of the show, stealing scenes and hearts left and right.

Engagement sessions are about more than just posing for pretty pictures; they’re about cracking jokes, having a laugh, and getting to the heart of what makes a couple tick. By the time the sun dipped below the horizon, I wasn’t just a photographer; I was a witness to the beginning of Katie and Chris’s epic love story.
