The Hensons: Greer SC Family Portraits

Posted

I go way back with this happy little family. Waaaaaaaaay back. My mom and Katy’s aunt were in first grade together! I went to high school and church youth group with Jon’s sister, and was even a bridesmaid in her wedding. I photographed Jon and Katy’s wedding nearly 3 years ago (time flies!), and they are featured on a video on my website talking about doing a “First Look.” And now that their family includes Miss Nora, I was able to do these GORGEOUS (if I do say so myself…) family portraits for them in a field here in Greer.

I think these images showcase exactly what their little family is all about: love, laughter, and Southern sweetness…

Ok. So I am crazy about these next three photos. Like, I melted when I saw them and I secretly hope Katy, her mom, and Jon’s mom all cry a happy little tear when they see these. That’s how much I love these next three moments…

Katy and Jon, you guys are seriously the best. Always friendly and kind, enthusiastic and genuine. You have such a sweet family, and I am honored to have been there for your wedding and again for these family portraits. I hope you love them! (I do!)

The Willis Family: Greenville SC Family Portraits

Posted

I have the sweetest and most beautiful clients in Greenville! Seriously, every family I have photographed this fall is absolutely gorgeous, and they all have killer eyes and loving personalities. I’m a lucky photo-girl! The Willis family was no exception. We met at Falls Park on a sunny fall afternoon for portraits of the family and especially of their handsome son Chandler…

The great thing about being an only child (I know, because I am one!) is that you get to be really close with BOTH of your parents!

Family Blessings: Simpsonville SC Family Portraits

Posted

On this Thanksgiving Day, there are few things that I am more thankful for than my family. I look in the mirror, and I see their features. I speak, and I hear their words (mostly my mom’s….yes, it has already happened that I’ve become my mother, hehe!). I experience the world, and I feel their influence. For the Schlotterback Family, Thanksgiving is truly a celebration of the blessing of family. You see, this time last year, they were joined together as a family in China. Sweet Abby has brightened their lives in every way, and on Monday they celebrated “Family Day,” their one-year anniversary as a family of three. (Four, counting puppy. 😉 )

Abby is SO CUTE! I photographed her in the summer (see those pictures HERE), and she’s grown so much since then, both in appearance and personality!

These photos were all taken at Le Jardins of Fox Hollow in Simpsonville SC, a private home with beautiful landscaping. Le Jardins of Fox Hollow is available for portrait sessions–please contact me for info!

Abby and Mommy…

Two beautiful ladies! This dress was Mom’s when she was a little girl. How flipping cute are those leggings?!? (And do they come in grown-up sizes??)

I love this snuggly, peaceful moment…maybe one of my favorites from the entire portrait session.

And one last cute shot…seriously, she is adorable!

Happy Thanksgiving, and Happy Family Week to the Schlotterbacks. You and Abby are certainly blessed to have each other.

Kelly, Kellan’s mommy, keeps my hair looking great. She’s amazing with color (um, I mean “this is my natural color”); let me know if you need her number! I shot Kelly and Brady’s engagement portraits, which you can see HERE.

I love this sweet moment!

We did these portraits the day before Halloween, so we had to get a few shots of Kellan in his hysterically adorable costume, even though he was tuckered out at this point!

“Hot diggity dog, it’s Halloween!” 😉

Kelly and Brady, I know you guys have lots to be thankful for this holiday season! Enjoy it with your little cutie Kellan! I hope you love your photos and find lots of great places to display them. 🙂

The Clamps & Knokes: Greenville SC Military Family Portraits

Posted

falls-park-greenville-military-family-portraits-14

When the Clamp/Knoke family contacted me for their family portraits in Greenville, they were on a bit more of a time crunch than most families are: their son and brother Will is only in town for two weeks….on leave from serving in Afghanistan. Will won’t be stateside again for 6 months, so it was super important to have portraits while he’s here and while their family is complete again. It was a pleasure and an honor to photograph them yesterday….

Jennifer and Josh got engaged on this very swing! They’ve been married for about 2 1/2 years now, and wanted some new “couple pictures” of them. Yay!

LOVE this portrait of Will and Mom….she’s so proud!

falls-park-greenville-military-family-portraits-05

Ha–Mom finally got Will to crack a smile. 🙂

falls-park-greenville-military-family-portraits-06

And lastly, some portraits of Will. There are so many opinions about this war, our country, and politics. Bottom line, however, is that there are thousands of men and women risking their lives by simply “doing their jobs.” They are someone’s son or daughter, their brother or sister, their husband or wife. Many thanks and many prayers for a safe return go out to Will and all the others like him.

The face of this soldier…who returns overseas tomorrow.

Clamps/Knokes, it was great meeting you all yesterday. My hope is that these portraits will make the distance and time a little easier over the next 6 months. Will, stay safe, and thank you for “doing your job.”
