Have any idea how to upload pictures and have it the size you want? I hate uploading the picture then having to stretch it, it takes away from the quality.

Interested in family portraits, engagements..etc?

For those of you who are interested in having a shoot done, I would be glad to do them! Right now, I'm just enjoying sessions here or there for my benefit. It's great practice! For the time being, I only charge for the cost of the prints and possibly for gas if I have to travel a long distance. However, tips are greatly appreciated. Once you see the finished product, you can decide for yourself to purchase or not. This way I won't have any unhappy customers! I'm mostly looking for the opportunity and the experience, but I do ask that only serious clients request a session.
It will be a pleasure working with you!

My new favorite place: Woods Bay, Olanta, S.C.

Since I have started photographing I have mainly stuck to outdoor shooting, which is great because I can basicly create whatever kind of setting I want. I love the eerie vibe's that this cypress swamp gives off. I added a vignette to it to make it look a little more mystic. This swamp is the same as it was thousands of years ago in the Pleistocene period...that's when there were wooly mammoths and saber-tooth tigers! Woods Bay is very rustic and timeless, and that's how I wanted to portray it.
How did I do?!

Val's Photography Debut

I have so many photos to share now, I decided it was time for it's own blog!
I wanted to name it "Painted With Light", but I will leave it as it is for now!
Please feel free to critique the photos!
With Love,
