Nelson Family | South Carolina Family Photographer

Photographing families is so much fun for me.  I love to see the bond that mothers and fathers have with their children, the way the kids eyes light up when you talk to them and get to know them better as you are asking about their favorite things, and just getting the know the family in general.  

I've know the mother of this family for a while now as we have grown up together, but have had fun getting to know her daughter and husband (and her better) through the past sessions that we've had together.  They are such a sweet loving family and I truly have so much fun with them. 

It turned out to be a chilly morning the day that we met for this session, despite the few days before when it was so warm.  However, we still had a lot of fun.  Kristen you have one beautiful little girl, and she is so much fun to be around.

Enjoy!

Catching up on some posts......Welcome Baby M | South Carolina Newborn Photographer

As I was going through the blog I realized that I had not put a blog post up about the arrival of sweet baby M.  So here is another catch up post from his session.  

Welcome sweet baby M.  He gave me a work out through the session, but he is such a sweet baby. 

Hope you all enjoy looking at the below.

 

 

 

Don't everyone get upset with the picture below.  No I'm not saying a newborn is the devil (because we all know that they aren't, they are in fact angels from God above)....however this picture is to show the family's love for the hometown high school. 

Baby M's family went to Clinton High School, home of the Red Devils, and this is a picture to show their support for the hometown team.  Maybe one day he will grow up and play sports for the hometown team, along with his cousin.

 

Love little baby feet!

Valentine Mini-Session | South Carolina Children Photographer

A few months ago I did Valentine Mini-Sessions, and I'm just now getting around to catching up on blog posting.  If you follow, "like", my Facebook page you have probably seen some of these already.  

I have taken pictures of this little one once before when he was a baby.....boy has he grown up since the last time I saw him.  He has grown into such a cute little one, and has hair to die for.  Love his little curls.  

I hope you enjoy!

 

 

 

 

And check out how much he has grown.

Valentine Mini-Session | South Carolina Children Photographer

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to take photos of sweet Ms. A, this was the second time that I've had this pleasure.  The last time that I photographed her she started out being shy but started to open up after being around me for a little, however this time she wasn't shy at all.  I love listening to the things that kids tell you and I loved hearing every single thing/story she told me that day.  She is such a little sweetie and a joy to be around.  Here are some pictures from her valentine mini-session.

 

 

And for fun, here is one from her previous session that we had, a few years ago, my how she has grown.

Winter Session | South Carolina Children Photographer

I now have another new favorite location for pictures.  There are so many opportunities for great pictures at this location.  Here are some pictures from a winter photo session.  I always love taking pictures of Mr. Parker.  I have really enjoyed watching him grow over the past  year and half (getting close to 2 years now).  

Hope you all enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

This just happens to be one of my favorites from the session.  Every time I see this one it puts a big smile on my face.

Waiting for Baby M! | South Carolina Maternity Photographer

In January I had the pleasure of doing photos for my sweet cousin who was awaiting the arrival of her first baby and who was so excited to welcome a baby girl in the following weeks.  When I got the message that their sweet baby had made the arrival, I was shocked to find out instead of a baby girl they received a baby boy. 

Here are some photos from their maternity session.  Photos of sweet baby M will be coming soon to the blog (so stay tuned).

 

 

Just when they were thinking it's going to be a girl.

 

Toddler Football Session | South Carolina Toddler Photographer

In going through folders from last years sessions I found that there are just a few that I didn't get around to blogging about.  So I wanted to go ahead and get those sessions blogged.

This past fall/winter I did a toddler football session.  I was excited to go back to my alma mater, and was excited for the chance to do the session on the football field.  We had so much fun out on the field and letting him play around the field.  Here are a few pictures from their session.

 

TOUCHDOWN!!!

I really enjoy getting repeat clients!  It means so much when they come back and want you to capture more memories for them, it's the best compliment that you could receive or hope for. I really have a good time with this family and enjoy the time that we spend together during the sessions.  I enjoy the talks that I have with Jennifer and catching up with her as well.  She has two precious children as well, which makes the time that more enjoyable.  Jennifer I hope that you enjoyed your session as much as I did, and thanks for allowing me to capture the memories for you.

  

I just love her eyes!!

A few weekends ago I had the opportunity to photograph such a sweet family and catch-up with a high school friend, it's always nice to catch with old friends.  Kristen you have such a sweet little girl, and I enjoyed every minute of being around her.  She kept a smile on my face the whole session.  I look forward to meeting with you again in the future for more sessions!
