My New Boots! by Kelli Conley

For those of you who have witnessed me in action, or have been photographed by me, you know I wear my rainboots to every photo shoot! (Pictured here during my 365 Project last year)
After a photo shoot the amount of time I have had my rainboots on is usually around 3 hours, and my feet are terribly sore. So I embarked on a mission to find a great pair of cowboy boots that I could wear for all sorts of occasions but specifically for an alternative to my rain boots... So while on a trip to the mountains this weekend, I stumbled across a pair and fell in LOVE with them! I have been wearing them since and can't wait to wear them to my next photoshoot! 
P.S. This was shot on my phone and uploaded while in the mountains =)

Ashley: Senior Session - Fort Mill, SC {Senior Portrait Photographer} by Kelli Conley

Ashley is amazing! She actually just graduated, but they never had her senior pictures taken. We decided downtown Fort Mill would be the best location for what Ashley had in mind. After picking out a couple outfits; and setting her mom and brother to work holding our gear and clothes we were off! Throughout the photo session I could really see Ashley's personality shine. She has such a kind heart and is really excited to be attending beauty school in the fall. I can't wait to see how great she will do! Congrats again Ashley!! 

Bridal Couture: The Morehead Inn, Charlotte NC by Kelli Conley

What a busy week this has been! Tuesday I had the pleasure of hanging out with a bunch of lovely ladies (hair and makeup done by the awesome Lindsay Regan Thorne of {be pretty}) and photographing some gorgeous wedding dresses (provided by J Majors Bridal Boutique)! Not to mention the beautiful ladies (Jillian, Olivia, & Whitney) who modeled them! We took over The Morehead Inn for the evening and tried out some new ideas and techniques! I had such a blast and even whipped out my new reflector* at the end and snapped a couple outside! *Review to come on this awesome reflector! 

Special Thanks to:
Venue: The Morehead Inn

Kayla: Class of 2012 - Rock Hill High School {Senior Portrait Photographer} by Kelli Conley

 Congrats Kayla on graduating this weekend! Kayla has been a blast to work with and every photo session we both died laughing at something silly one of us did! I think it is great when I connect with my clients and they really trust me with the crazy things I tell them to do! For example, I was telling Kayla to run and throw her cap at me... she gave me the weirdest look! Then when I did it and she saw what I was doing, she was able to recreate it perfectly and we ended up with the beautiful image below that her mom put on her announcements! Reminiscing on the last year has got me really excited for our incoming seniors who will be the class of 2013! Make sure to book your session ASAP and ask about our Senior Year Package which incorporates the Senior Session, Prom, and Grad Pics like you see here! 

 

Amy: Stunning in Lace - Fort Mill, SC by Kelli Conley

Almost every bride would loved to be photographed in peach trees! Their pretty pink blooms and beautiful green leaves make their wedding dresses stand out so beautifully! Amy was no exception to this! Her dress was so gorgeous, when I saw it I was immediately in love with the lace and design. Then she pulled out her veil and I was smitten with it! This shoot was amazing and I can't wait to photograph in the trees again next year!
