Yes, the wind can be a challenge!

When I met the Harris' for their family beach photography session, it was a pretty hot day. Around the Atalaya Castle, there was little to no wind and it was sweltering. When we got down onto the beach, it was a whole different story.

It's always nice to have a challenge of families of 15 or 19, but then it is also really nice to have a family of 3 where when you ask for a smile you get simply that, a smile. It never ceases to amaze me how different it is working with each family I meet here in Myrtle Beach.

The summer is coming to an end and so will my chaotic schedule. In someway I am going to miss it. In others, I am ready for a bit of a break from 105 degree heat indexes...

I hope you enjoy these photos and for well over 100 more, please stop by my website at www.AugustTPhotography.com

Thanks,

You would never guess what the kids were doing!!!

In other posts I talk about referrals and how people come to find me for their photography services. From out in the mid west a family found out their beaches in the gulf were getting tar balls. They rescheduled to Myrtle Beach, looked my up on Yahoo Local. We met and had a wonderful session. In fact some of the photos from the Olroyd Family were just precious moments I caught.

The Olroyds recommended Myrtle Beach and your truly... How humbling to have 2 families as friends from out in the middle of the US coming to see me in the same summer!

Now, when I schedule a sunset session I always expect a wonderful sunset. Sometimes they are better than others. This night was a simply stunning night! Here are a few photos to check out. For almost 200 more stop by my website - www.AugustTPhotography.com or just click on the photos below.

Oh, mom and dad, really love each other and wanted a few couple shots. We did have one of the most spectacular sunsets going on... I am trying to get them to relax for a few minutes and simply gaze into each others eyes. Well, while we are working on a few of these shots, the kids were having the time of their lives... it was really funny! Oh the joys of parenting!

Thanks,
August

Who Ever Said Getting 19 People to Jump in the Air at Once is Easy???

I have to say it was a treat to meet the Williams Family. When Marcyta told me there would be 19 in their party I took a deep breath, but at the same time I was soooo game!

I am really glad they chose me as their photographer when they visited Myrtle Beach and I am looking forward to meeting them in the years to come.

Here are a few photos for you to enjoy. Stop by my site for over 200 more...

Thanks,

Ramsey's Wedding - What a great show of LOVE!

One of my first weddings this year was with a couple named Spike and Tasha. I met the lady handling the video and she works with a guy, who is Ramsey's new husband. So through the grapevine we talked, met for an engagement session and then I was hired to be their wedding photographer.

It is always pretty cool to find out how people come to know about me and my photography business and this was certainly a great chain of events.

Now, this wedding was in a really cool looking timber framed church in Pawleys Island. I really loved the setting of this church and absolutely loved this stained glass window up in the balcony. I am looking forward to your feedback on the shots and stop by my site to see almost 150 from their wedding.

If I can be of any service to you, your family or friends, let me know how I can help!

Thanks,
August
