It's definitely out of our comfort zone to be in front of the camera. But I'm so happy to have photos taken in different seasons of our life. I also think it's important as a photographer to sometimes step out from behind the camera and put ourselves in our clients shoes. It's often uncomfortable but it's our mission to make you feel like yourselves and document those sweet and fun moments. I'm so thankful that our amazing friend @erin.kranz came out of retirement (she's now a fabulous realtor so check her out) to take these photos of us and Churro yesterday. I edited them this morning and am thrilled to get some printed for our home. Hair and makeup by the fabulous @calistottartistry

Happy Friday! Meet Ashley, our Venue Coordinator. She’s who you’ll meet for a tour + will work with from start to finish. ⁣⁣Here are a few fun tidbits about Ashley, in her words! ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
I moved to Charlotte 10 years ago next month to start fresh after college! I was visiting family in the area on a weekend + randomly picked an apartment on a whim + then made the move the very next month!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I have visited almost all 50 states, only one I haven’t been to is Alaska! ✈️⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I despise public speaking! 🙅🏼‍♀️ I am so good at talking to people even in groups, but as soon as the pressure hits to stand up in front of them I freak out!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
We’d love to get to know YOU! Are you getting married? A wedding vendor? Share something below👇. #fridayintroductions

This man right here is the backbone of SLP. Matt is my best friend, partner, biggest supporter and cheerleader. I adore him so much and am thankful to have been quarantined with him in our new home. Some fun facts about Matt: 1) He graduated from FIU with a bachelors in MIS and a masters in MIT and now works for Microsoft. 2) He is a die hard Miami Dolphins fan no matter how they are doing. 3) His dad played on the PGA in the 70s and was a golf coach at Alabama, so Matt naturally had to be decent at golf. 4) He is an amazing pool player. 5) He's a total Star Wars geek and knows everything there is to know about it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I haven't worn anything but joggers and yoga pants for months. I'm getting concerned that my regular clothes won't fit after this. I've been getting fluffier during quarantine...anyone else with me? Or am I the only one going to the fridge every hour? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm ready to get back to capturing love stories. I miss our clients and I hate that so many have had to postpone their wedding day. It will get better. You will get married. It may not look exactly the way you planned, but at the end of the day you will say "I do" and start the new chapter. We can't wait to be there with you as you begin your new life together.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
