This was taken on a back road on the way to Greenville... we never did make it to Greenville.  :-)

This is a picture inside the Hunting Island Lighthouse.  I found that I am really drawn to patterns.  This was right up my alley.

This was from a wedding I did a few years back.  Just thought this came out real nice, soft and romantic and was very representative of all weddings.

I enjoy taking day trips... just pick a direction and take the back roads to nowhere in particular.  This was taken on one of those trips. 

MELINDA

This is one of my favorite portraits I have captured of my favorite subject, my daughter, Melinda.  I love this picture, not only for the quality of the picture itself, but also because I feel it really captured "her".  It is just Melinda.... no poses, no makeup... just really captured who she was.

FOLLY BEACH PIER

My name is Shanon M. McAlister.  I live and grew up in Charleston, South Carolina.  I have created this blog to share my photography images.  My interest in photography started back in high school.  When it comes to photography, various subjects catch my eye - everything from people, landscapes to the smallest detail on a flower.  I not only enjoy taking photographs but also spend hours in front of my computer adding several different kinds of effects to my images.  This makes a lot of my photography not very traditional.  I am always looking for new ways to see a subject and a different way to improve in my skills and images.  

I have chosen the above picture to begin this blog.  It is simply the Folly Beach Pier.

I hope you enjoy my photography as much as I do.  Stay tuned... there is plenty more to come.

Sincerely,

Shanon
