Ms. Ashley ~ Senior 2013 | North Carolina Senior Photographer

I want to start this post out by first saying how very proud I am of this young woman.  She is not only a smart, beautiful girl; but she is so sweet and loving too.  Ashley's smile is so infectious that when you are around her you can't help but to smile too.  

Ms. Ashley will be graduating distinguished this year and has already been accepted to several colleges (one of which is LSU).  No matter where she ends up going to college, I know that she will do wonderful and she has a very bright future ahead of her.  She is going to make a WONDERFUL teacher some day, and the kids in her class will be lucky to have her.

Congrats Ashley on your upcoming graduation! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gymnast in the making.... | North Carolina Children Photographer

I am so proud of Ms. Carleigh for all the accomplishments that she is making in gymnastics.  While we were working on doing senior pictures for her sister, I was able to catch a few of her doing what she loves to do.  Maybe before too much longer I can get pictures of her in her element (the gym).

 

 

 

And one of Ms. Carleigh with her big sister.  I'll be posting big sister's senior session up on the blog soon, so come back and check it out.

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.

Cherish the moments, for they may be gone too soon | South Carolina Family Photographer

As I am sitting here looking through pictures from part of a recent newborn session and looking through the images that I was able to capture for the family of a grandfather/great-grandfather/great-great grandfather seeing the newest member of the family for the first time, I realize just how precious life is and how we should all cherish every single moment that you have with your loved ones.  

When I found out that baby M had made his arrival into the world I was excited to meet him.  So during the first part of his newborn session, in talking with the family, I found out about their mom's grandfather and how sick he actually is.  As they were sitting there talking to me about it, I realized then that I needed to get some pictures for them, of him and the newest family member.  I was so excited when I started talking about getting the pictures and finding out that they actually was hoping that I would.  (which I'm sure they probably already knew deep down that I would :-)  )

I am happy to finally blog the pictures that we were able to capture during that special time for them.  I will have to admit that Mr. Buckshot had me in tears during taking the pictures.  

Janice, Dana, and Brittany thank you for trusting in me to get such sweet memorable moments for you guys.  

This is the first time he saw baby M and got to hold him.  Mr. Buckshot was beyond proud and excited to finally meet baby M.

 

Melts my heart.

 

 

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.
