Jason and Nikki wanted to have a very relaxed and casual engagement session, so thats what we did. I encouraged them to have fun, and took photos while they were naturally interacting with each other. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the engagement session.

Josh and Samantha’s Engagement Session

Corey — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 03:46:25 +0000

Josh and Samantha have been waiting to be engaged for a while now… and on October 18th they finally made it official! Samantha is also a photographer so I feel extra special that she asked me to take their pictures. We went down to the Columbia Riverfront Park, and then went over to Memorial Park. The sunset was amazing, and we were able to get some awesome photos in front of the beautiful sky.

Here are some of my favorites from the session… I put my favorite ones at the end, so make sure you scroll all the way to the end of the post.

(Ashley took this picture by the way… shes getting better!)

In the top right corner you can see a lady walking away. She was pushing two little dogs in a baby stroller and Samantha found this very interesting. This was her face when she was walking by.

Josh knows praying mantis kung fu. The female praying mantis usually eats her mate, but Josh seems to be reversing this role in their relationship ;).

Thomas needed to borrow a phone to call his mom. He is trying to get things straightened out so he can go home. He had some great advise for Josh and Samantha about their new marriage.

God really is awesome… and the best artist ever. I’m glad I get to record some of His work.

Romans 1:20
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

Jordan’s Senior Photos

Jordan is a senior this year at Covenant Classical Christian School. She already has some senior pictures, but I asked her if I could take some of her as well just for the heck of it. I decided to play around some with some of these images, so they aren’t quite like my normal senior portraits… but in my opinion they mostly fit well with Jordan’s personality.

Jordan, if you don’t like the editing, don’t worry… I still have the normal photos too.

Here are some of my favorites.

Caroline and Geoff’s Engagement Session

Caroline and Geoff are getting married next year, and they decided to get some engagement photos taken. We went out to the river walk, and through the vista to find some spots for photos. The skies were beautiful and the weather was great. Here are some of my favorites from the session.

Midtown Baptism

Corey — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 04:20:41 +0000

Tonight was the Midtown Baptism, and it was on top of a parking garage in downtown Columbia. I left my camera in the car, but when I saw the sun setting I had to run down and grab it for a few shots. God is doing some awesome things in Columbia through Midtown. Check out Midtown’s website here.

Look into my eye…

So, this is a picture Ashley took of me and I thought it would make a cool album spread. Just something I made when I was bored and I thought it looked cool.
I have some new updates coming to my blog this week, so be sure to keep checking back.

Here are some pictures Ashley and I took at Fields of Faith at Ridgeview.

Kristiaan’s Senior Portraits

Corey — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 04:20:24 +0000

Kristiaan wasn’t to happy with her senior portraits from school, so we decided to go do another session for her. I had to do some convincing to get her to step onto USC campus, but the horseshoe is a really great place to do portraits with an outdoors feel to them. Not to mention, we were able to find all kinds of things that related to Clemson while we walked around.
Kris, I hope you like these better than your school portraits.

I personally think this picture has somewhat of a Clemson feel to it

This is my personal favorite.

Same shot, different color.
