Coming Soon…Liam

Posted


As soon as Kristen and I began emailing back and forth about her maternity photos, I KNEW they were going to be amazing! Had never met her or her husband, but I just knew. Maybe it was all of her creative ideas, maybe it was her enthusiasm for having the session even though a snowstorm was supposedly on its way (um, no), or maybe it was the sweet innocence of their love story…

Kristen and Mitchell began dating the summer before 9th grade…yes, when they were only 13 years old. Kristen told me “After all these years of us being in love, for him to tell me that I am the prettiest I have ever been, and see in his eyes that somehow he really does believe that, is hard for me to put into words. Mitchell and I have literally grown up together and have been together more years than we have been apart.”
I don’t think anymore words are necessary. Liam is going to be loved so purely, so intensely, and I think these portraits truly express that…












Out of the bazillion images that I loved, these last three are my absolute favorites.



Kristen and Mitchell, you are going to be wonderful parents as your love grows with Baby Liam. I can’t wait to meet him! In other news, I will be at the Wedding Festival this Saturday. If you’re coming, please stop by my “studio” and say hello! Also, stay tuned for a b-i-g announcement about my new website. Woohoooo! Kristen and Mitchell’s proof gallery is now online!

The Majors: Family Session

Posted

When we finished our session, Jessica asked me “Do you think we got some good shots?” Holy shamoly, YES! This is my second session with the Major girls, and this time they brought dad along. The girls were completely adorable, the fall leaves were still beautiful, and the late-afternoon light was beyond amazing. I ADORE these photos! I actually teared up a couple of times when I was making my selections, because they are so sweet. To all moms (including Jess) who aren’t sure if their kids sat still enough or smiled their “real” smile: trust me, we’ll get the shot!! πŸ™‚


A little twirling…




Apparently I’m making the “family reflection” a signature shot! This keeps showing up in all my family shoots…



Oooh, I love this!


Two of my favorites from the day…and I don’t think they even knew I was still shooting! πŸ˜‰

FYI, my last 3 posts (Majors, Nelsons, & Daniel) were all shot at Furman University over a 9 day period…and they all were shot within about 40 yards of each other! My goal was to make each session look and feel unique even though I was shooting in basically the same location all 3 times.

The Nelsons–Family Fun!

Posted

OK, so I completely love this family! So cute, really creative, and up for anything! Most of my blog readers probably know that I also work for a non-profit agency; well, I met Andy at our annual golf tournament, where he bid on a photo session with ACP in the silent auction. His wife Stephanie was super-excited when he came home NOT with more golf clubs, but with a gift certificate for a family portrait! I’m pretty sure Andy scored some cool-points for that move. πŸ™‚

We met out at Furman for a mix of traditional portraits, casual moments, and just plain family fun….and lemme tell you, this family is fun!! (They are my “jumpers” from this post…)

This one cracks me up…I love it!

So sweet!

Is it possible to resist this face?? Doubtful!

If you read the blog regularly, you may remember that I don’t have such a great track record with kids + water. I spotted some cool rocks in this pond that I wanted the family to stand on, but we waited until the end of the session “just in case.” Fortunately, everyone managed to stay dry this time, and I got this crazy shot of Andy and Stephanie’s youngest son leaping towards dry land!

I think Stephanie actually squealed when I said we were going to take a silhouette shot. πŸ™‚

Thanks Nelsons for such a fun photo shoot! All four of you were awesome to work with, and I can’t wait to see you guys again!
