A {Rainy} Table Rock Weekend

For those of you that know me know how much I love exploring new places. When that exploring means hiking.. with waterfalls.. I am in love. You probably won't believe this but last August during our vacation to the North Carolina Mountains was the first time I had ever seen a waterfall in person. I know, crazy right. But from that moment on, you can say I was pretty much hooked. I mean, who wouldn't be?!

Last October (2015) we decided to spend the weekend exploring new mountains, hiking, and you guessed it- waterfalls. Table Rock State Park, South Carolina. This weekend just happened to occur the very weekend South Carolina had the Historic Flood. Now, yes, we were four hours from home in Charleston so yes, we thought we would be fine. And we were.. except even in Table Rock, four hours away, it rained. And rained. And rained! All - weekend - long (until Sunday when it was time to head home.. naturally). We, being the faithful explorers that we are, were not about to let a little rain & wind ruin our trip. So out we set. And this was our experience.

Tons of abandoned eye candy on the way.

A Rainy Day Agenda! { Charleston Photography }

It's surely not uncommon to say as a Charlestonion, "It's raining! I guess we will have to wait for our girls day out!" Well Ashley and Liz say don't let those rainy Charleston weekends ruin your day! These lovely ladies showed me a few places right downtown sure to brighten your rainy day blues! Eclectic Cafe & Vinyl This cafe was such a cool spot. Grab an espresso (or my case, iced coffee) and a book, or get lost in conversation in the couch area. There is also the coolest little corner hosting a record player with an amazing selection of vinyls. Slap on those headphones and get lost in the music! Gnome Cafe This cafe is such a ray of sunshine! Literally! The inside is so lovely with brightly colored decor, it's sure to bring sunshine to even the rainiest day. Their plant-based menu has everything from salads to sandwiches to deserts! SYG designs Just down from Gnome is a plant covere

2 Best Friends + 2 High Schools = GRADUATION

This time 14 YEARS ago, yours truly was preparing for life after graduation. It seems so unreal. I can remember getting our outfits together for graduation pictures and deciding what time we were going to meet because of course we had to go together! We would meet that day at our high school, stand posed for outdoor "casual" photos first, then head to the library for our "formal" shots. I am pretty sure that is the same routine now a days. BUT not for these lovely ladies! Last weekend, I met these two beautiful young ladies, best friends graduating from 2 different high schools. We met at Mepkin Abbey in Monks Corner SC. What an amazing setting as you can see! I had no problem getting laughs from these two and their true personalities came pouring out in each image! They just flowed together so well, I could see why they were best friends! I had so much fun with these young ladies and a HUGE Congrats to them on their graduation! Aren't they b

Lipstik Girls!

Bethany had an amazing opportunity to model for Lipstik Girls Clothing 2014 Elisa B. line! From the time she began working with Gooma Models she has wanted to work with this company. Their clothing line for young girls is simply stunning. I was super excited for her to have this opportunity! We chose a downtown / urban style setting for this shoot. I must tell you IT WAS HOT! We were roasting. We kept pushing on and after a few hours, we had finished this amazing shoot. UPDATE: The first image was listed on Itsy.com for Lipstik Girls / Elisa B. clothing. Shreek!
