South Carolina Engagement Photographer | Emily & Kurt | Yah Photography by Kelli Conley

Emily and Kurt are collage sweethearts from Campbell University. Brody played on the football team and football became a huge part of their relationship, so we wanted to make sure we incorporated that into the session! I absolutely love to just let them be them and just run around having fun with each other. Most people are not sure how to just do that, so my job is to give them cues and things to do that lead to the natural reactions I am wanting... and the two of them were amazing at it! This loosened them up to where they were no longer shy in front of the camera and I was able to capture... them. After the session we met back at my house and talked more about the wedding day, and I have to say that I am really excited to see how everything turns out this coming June.2014-01-27_0001.jpg 2014-01-27_0007.jpg 2014-01-27_0003.jpg 2014-01-27_0004.jpg 2014-01-27_0002.jpg 2014-01-27_0006.jpg 2014-01-27_0005.jpg

Freedom Park Engagement Photographer Charlotte NC | Meghan & Mike | Yah Photography by Kelli Conley

I love when clients are adventurous and willing to brave the cold! Meghan and Mike were both! We made sure to layer and accessories with warm items like Meghan’s cute pink gloves, and Mike’s awesome leather jacket. The two of them were perfectly matched and had so much fun during the session. One of my favorite parts was the fact that Mike actually proposed to Meghan on the very bench in Freedom Park, so the location meant everything to them. I even had Mike reenact it for me so that I could capture that moment for them.  One of the other fun things about the day was incorporating Mike’s love for golf; he was showed off one of his tricks for the camera and was actually able to keep the ball bouncing on the club for quite some time. Being able to get to know them and what makes them a couple was so awesome and I cannot wait for their August wedding and to see what a beautiful bride Meghan will be! 2014-01-23_0001.jpg2014-01-23_0003.jpg

Indian Land South Carolina | Newborn Photographer | Abigail by Kelli Conley

It seems like just yesterday I was photographing Lisa and Alex's maternity session so when I saw pictures on Facebook that sweet little Abby had been born just hours after Christmas I was so thrilled! Originally I thought we might share a birthday as Lisa's due date was my birthday. But that was the not the case, and Abby decided she was ready to enter the world. Lisa and I had planned out a variety of fun things for the session, but I knew that there was one thing missing. I called Alex to the side and told him that we needed to incorporate his love for football, and so we did! Abby was such a doll the whole time and I just love her head of hair. Can't wait to see what the future holds for this sweet little girl!2014-01-16_0001.jpg 2014-01-16_0002.jpg 2014-01-16_0003.jpg
