Greenville Maternity Photographer | Waiting on baby {Jami + Terry}
Terry purchased a gift certificate for Jami's birthday back in February and she was chomping at the bit to be able to use it! Because I wasn't photographing in March or April we had to wait until May, but the pictures turned out awesome even though we were pushing the envelope on time! 32 weeks pregnant, can you believe it?! What a beautiful pregnant momma!
Terry's family has land in Inman that we decided to use for the session. Aside from the 70% humidity, the 40% chance of rain, and the vicious mosquitoes that were attacking me it was the perfect location! It had a walking path that was covered by bright green tree's, a beautiful pond, and tall grass (which is quickly becoming one of my "must haves" for location scouting). Across the street there was a train track, and I couldn't resist laying her down on the tracks. Controversy? Yes! But that's what makes the picture's so much different than the rest!
Terry, Jami, Kenzie (and Thailon): thank you for letting me be a part of your lives. I hope you have an easy delivery and I can't wait to meet that baby boy!
(PS, hair and make up was done by the wonderful Katie Cotton)
Palm Beach Family Photographer | The Didio Family
I met with this lovely family in Royal Palm at the Veterans Park Memorial. It was my first time shooting there and it was beautiful. From open grassed areas to charming waterfalls, this was a relaxing and family orientated location which was perfect for our session.
I photographed the Didio's on the beach back in September and WOW has Carrie grown. Such a diva! Mom & Dad you have your hands full!
Greenville Photographer | Tim, Becky, Logan & Lucas
Big Tuna & family came out to Greenville today to take part in my holiday special! (You probably want to know why I just called him Big Tuna, right? Tim & Becky are divers and Tim is on the dive team for Spartanburg. Does it make sense now?) Their adorable little men were so much fun to work with. Logan, the red head, and Lucas, the blonde, will definitely be heart breakers when they get older!
Becky & Tim chose the Rock Garden in downtown Greenville for todays session. It's been a while since I've shot down there and WOW for a Friday afternoon it was packed! There were two other photographers there and a few families just hanging out. It is such a beautiful area and very relaxing. The boys played bubbles, rode their bikes and played some foot ball with their dad.
My fav from the session was the reverse choke hold, as Logan called it. I love kids, they're so awesome to work with.

Hunter is ONE!
This adorable little man turned one last weekend and he, as most one year olds, was more interested in the paper and boxes than the toys! He's such a happy little boy, full of smiles and giggles (also tantrums and screams but what one year old isn't?). Mom, Stefanie, had his birthday party at their house and she did a wonderful job decorating with the very appropriate theme of monkeys.
Happy Birthday Hunter!
Spartanburg Family Photographer | Farrell Boys
This started off being one of the most flattering shoots ever. I got out of my car at the field to meet with James (9) and Spencer(5) for a evening session and James says "You're beautiful." You've taught him well mom! Flattery will get you places in life!!
We met in Holly Springs at a big open field with nothing but grass, kudzu and grass hoppers. We played ball, frisbee and bubbles until the heat had us all worn out. I will not give out my new top secret trick to making a 5 year old boy laugh. It stays between me, Spencer and the grass hoppers. :o)
Reid Family {Greer City Hall}
I met the Reid/Carithers family tonight for some family photos. Our session was at 6:45 and right around 5pm it started thundering, lightning and raining.... and I live five minutes from where we were scheduled to shoot. But as fate would have it... not only did the nonsense weather stop but it was beautiful out. Perfect conditions for an outside shoot.
After dodging the herds of people and trying to stay out of the way of another couples wedding photographs, we manage to sneak in a few good ones. Here are the sneak peaks.
Also, keep an eye out for Chandler and Amber, I'll be doing their 2011 Senior Portraits next week!
Testing: 24-70mm f/2.8
Before meeting Alex for dinner tonight, Gavin and I met her in Greer at the Veterans Memorial Park to test out the new lens. I have to admit, I like the lens but not for what I was looking to do tonight. So back to the ol' 50 mm for the shoot and here are some images. Alex and I will, one day, arrange enough time to do an actual shoot. Todays only lasted 15 mins & we were some hungry girls!
I did manage to take some great pictures of the park, which I will post later. Check back in a few days for those and for pictures of tomorrows wedding in Charlotte, NC.
Good night!
Bella’s photo shoot! {Lake Worth FL}
The Lake Worth Pier is reopened and the only one in the area, so I scheduled a shoot there. Bad idea. After going earlier in the day we had to go with plan b, the place was packed. There was no way a little girl would fare well against all those distractions. Plan B? .... We went to a small park that backed up against the inter-coastal and it worked out! While waiting for Rena + family I photographed some pigeons, the draw bridge opening and an older gentleman who broke my heart. He was sitting on a park bench, with a few bags by his side, and he talked to himself. He looked like an interesting man so I shot a few of him, which I'll post in my next blog.
Anyways! Here's a few from lil Bella's photo shoot!
Dawson Cole{Newborn}
I met little Dawson at his moms baby shower last month, we got to view him in 4D before he made his grand entrance. But today I got to meet the little dude in person and he is gorgeous! Beautiful blue eyes, perfect skin and the cutest little fingers and toes. Mom, Crystal, wanted to do something fun and different for his photo shoot so we went with a more antique look and got the most amazing shot at the end when he finally fell asleep. Here's his very own slide show:
