Baby Amelia

Posted

Look at this sweet girl!! Amelia’s mommy is my photographer friend Olivia Griffin…when Olivia asked me to take some casual family portraits, I was extremely honored, because Olivia is a fabulous photographer and she chose me for her family’s portraits. I was also extremely intimidated, because Olivia is a fabulous photographer and she chose me for her family’s portraits. 🙂

Olivia requested some portraits that simply show their little family loving and playing together…

I would like to give a shout out to my new camera, the 5d Mark II….it was pretty much dusk when we shot in this room, but this is where Amelia and Olivia play every day so we had to! Holla, Mark II and your high sensitivity ISO.

So precious!

Olivia, I know you don’t think it’s that big of a deal, but I’m honored that you asked me to photograph your special time with Amelia. I hope you enjoy your images!

As always, folks, I love it when you leave a comment to “show me some love!” (Yeah, I know. I’m all about positive reinforcement. 😉 )

The Cockfield Family: SC Portraits

Posted

I photographed the Cockfield family during Thanksgiving weekend at daughter Kim’s Simpsonville, SC home while everyone was gathered for the holiday…and the Clemson-USC game. Not only are they absolutely beautiful on the outside, but they are just as beautiful–and sweet and fun and loving–on the inside. It was great to see how kind the grandkids are to one another!

Lovely ladies…Kim, Mom, and Kelly

Jackson & Delaney: “Harsh’s” Kids

Posted

In a post long, long ago I mentioned that most of my life I have always had a close friend also named Amy. During my college years at Western Carolina, Amy Harsh and I became fast friends….little sisters for the same fraternity, driving all night to Mardi Gras where we shared a room with 9 other college friends (um, ewwwwww!), Spring Break at Myrtle Beach, shopping together, and telling crazy stories. “Harsh” and I became known as “Amy Squared,” and one of the frat guys took great pleasure in standing behind us, calling out “Amy!”, and watching as both Amys turned around. We always both turned around. As often happens in life, we lost touch for several years. By the time we reconnected, Harsh had gotten married and was a mom to sweet Jackson and Delaney! We started getting together once a year, and this is a friendship where we can pick up right where we left off just like no time has passed. This fall I was able to photograph her totally freaking adorable and completely sweet kids in the Duke gardens in Durham, NC.

I’m not sure it can POSSIBLY get any more precious than this picture of brother and sister.

Jackson is so sweet and super smart. The best thing about this picture? He was smiling at his Mama off to the side. 🙂

Harsh and her kids…still looks like she could be in college!

We were trying to get Jackson to crack a smile. He took it to a whole new level and started laughing hysterically…I love it!

Delaney is 3 going on 23. Spunky and outgoing, and a complete sweetie.

harsh01

This is her “silly face.”

The fall leaves were beautiful in the Duke Gardens, so we got to play for a bit! These next pictures are what being a kid is all about…

The Duncan Family: Sneak Peek

Posted

I first photographed the Duncans way back when the boys were actually still boys! Drew is now a senior, so our session doubled as his senior portraits. This family loves one another, loves to play, and loves the country. I think their sneak peek shows all of that…
