McGrath Family 50th Anniversary Portraits | Downtown Greenville SC Family Photographer

My grandparents were married 65 years, my parents are about to hit 42 years, and Tony and I have been married for a whopping 19 months. It was so special for me to be the McGraths’ family photographer for their 50th anniversary celebration in Downtown Greenville SC. Marriage is a wild and crazy and wonderful ride, and it is such a gift for a family to have the influence of parents and grandparents with long, successful marriages. To celebrate their parents’ 50th anniversary just before Christmas, the McGraths planned a whole afternoon of surprises, including a sleigh ride with Santa himself, dinner out, and a surprise family portrait session. What better way to celebrate this milestone for their family than with new memories and the photographs to preserve them?

Introducing, the McGrath Family | 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration | Downtown Greenville SC

The whole family! I love their Christmasy wardrobes!

Parents and Siblings

The Grandkids

So a little explanation may be needed on this photo, haha! Big sister is graduating from high school this year and will be leaving for college, so Mom and Dad are doing their best to hang on to their baby girl. And her brothers? Well, I’m sure they’ll miss her too. Right?? 😉

I love the timeless look of this portrait.

50 years and still having tons of fun together!

The Family Tree

Brothers…

…and all the girls.

Happy, Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs McGrath! Wishing you and your family many years to come of happiness, love, and laughter.

Happy New Year everyone!

The Klein Family | Downtown Greenville SC Family Portrait Photographer

This family was so much fun to photograph in Downtown Greenville SC! They gathered in Greenville from various parts of the east coast to celebrate Thanksgiving together, and they wanted to capture their special family bonds with a portrait session. We wandered through Falls Park, the Liberty Bridge, and the Peace Center–several of the highlights of Downtown Greenville. I loved laughing and talking to this family, and we quickly discovered that we have some mutual acquaintances….I love 6 degrees of separation stories, we’re all connected! 🙂 Kleins, I hope that you enjoy these photos and the fun memories that accompany them. It was truly a pleasure meeting you and photographing this time in your lives.

I think it is so important to continue photographing your family even after the kids are grown! Every phase of a family’s life is special and important, not just when they’re “little.” The Kleins celebrated their relationships with Mom and Dad, son Paul, and Aunt Sara. I loved it!!

This shot is definitely a favorite–brother and sister, mom and son.

Seriously Kleins, y’all are so cute!!

Sweet grown-up siblings!

The Berube-McBryde Fall Portraits | Greenville SC Family Photographer

It is always a treat to photograph this fun little family’s portraits! I am so glad that the Berube-McBryde family chooses Amy Clifton Keely Photography as their photographer! We met in a couple of beautiful fall locations for their portraits in Greenville SC, and I think they capture all of the excitement and energy and fun of being a family with a two year old. 🙂

The Brice Family Portraits | Greenville SC Fall Photographer

I am so happy that the Brices chose me as their family photographer for their fall portraits this year at Lenora’s Legacy in Greenville SC. I have photographed this sweet and beautiful family three times now, with the first being when daughter Averi was just a toddler! I love watching families grow up in front of my camera, and these girls are turning into beautiful young ladies! It was a real treat photographing these girls, who were such loving and funny sisters in front of my camera. They never once said “Ewwwww, I don’t want to touch her!!” which happens frequently with siblings during photo shoots. 😉 Mom and Dad are equally cute together, and I always make it a point to photograph parents, just the two of them…after all, their love is where this family begins. Even though it was a chilly, overcast fall day, this cute family was completely warm and loving!

Introducing, The Brice Family, Fall 2013

Loooooooove this one!!

So sweet!

Seriously, how cute are these giggly sisters??

Beautiful girls.

I get lots of questions about “What should we wear for our portrait session?” and my usual responses include texture, pops of color, and coordinating but not “matchy-matchy” colors and styles. Mama Brice didn’t need my help–she proves that neutrals and patterns can be a BEAUTIFUL option for family portrait clothing and that neutral doesn’t equal boring!!

Two more of my super-faves!! Even Sophie the Dog got in on the family pics. 🙂

Love, love, love these real moments!

Brices, you guys were SUCH a treat to photograph! Thank you so much for asking me to capture this time in your family’s life!

The Szabo Family | Greenville SC Poinsett Bridge Family Photographer

The Szabos are a beautiful family, inside and out. We met at Greenville’s Poinsett Bridge for their family photos, and it quickly became obvious what a loving little family they are. Dawson is such a sweet young man–a cutie pie who is easy-going and so loving to his mommy, daddy, and baby brother. This session was special to me, because Tony came with me to help carry gear AND to practice his photography skills. I was so impressed when I saw his photos!!

Fall is definitely in the air in Greenville SC…presenting the Szabo Family

Sweet little moment between Dawson and Daddy

Really, y’all are beautfiul!

Sweet brothers!

One of my “tricks” when I’m photographing kids of ANY age by themselves is to have them look at their mama and say “I love you mom!” Whether it’s a teenager or a 5 year old, the resulting expression is priceless. This photo on the right is Dawson’s “I love you mom” face. 😉

This awesome shot of Dawson is one of Tony’s! Lovin’ my 2nd-shooting-hubby’s portrait!

Another sweet moment that Tony captured…

…and mine of mama and Dawson.

Daddy and sweet Drake…

SWEET baby boy!!

This face?? So stinkin’ cute! (Another of Tony’s images.)

Hellooooo! 🙂 As always, I try to make sure to get some photos of mom and dad by themselves…after all, this is where their loving, lovely family begins.
