Baby Ford, 1 month | Greenville, SC Newborn Photographer

Posted

Sweet little Ford surprised his parents and showed up a couple of weeks early, but I’m pretty sure he arrived just when his family needed him the most. This little guy is so cute, and he was completely cooperative and snuggly during our photo session on his 1 month birthday. Welcome, Baby Ford!

Baby parts…

On every newborn session, I always try to get at least one photo showing the baby’s hands or feet in relation to his parents’. Love this one!

“Ford’s World.” I love the collages of pics from mom and dad on his nursery walls.

I could not stop giggling while we photographed Baby Ford in his Halloween costume. SO stinkin’ cute!

Ford’s grandpa made him this awesome personalized truck. Such a special keepsake!

“Built Ford Tough.” Love it!

It was important that we get a few photos of Ford’s fur-siblings. 😉

The Wilders | Greenville, SC Family Photographer

Posted

I love to browse other photographers’ blogs, getting inspiration, new ideas, and posing tips. But honestly? One of my favorite things about my photo sessions is the emotion and energy that I capture…I think those things say so much about real emotions and relationships! These portraits of the Wilder-MacSwain Family are a great example of those little gestures and expressions that make up a family…

Sallee Anne + Jamie are Married! | Greer, SC Wedding Photographer

Posted

They say you can judge a person by the company they keep. If this is true, then Jamie and Sallee Anne are some of the kindest, most laid-back, and most fun people around! On their wedding day, Sallee Anne and Jamie were truly surrounded by love and positivity–so many friends and such large families, all filled with people dancing, hugging, laughing, loving. Sallee Anne and Jamie: it was a joy to photograph your wedding and to watch you begin your lives with such support and nurturing. May that follow you throughout your lives!

Sallee Anne’s flowers were so bright and beautiful! Her florist was Greg Foster…who just does this via word of mouth. Such great work!

Sallee Anne and Jamie chose to do a “First Look” and see each other before their ceremony. I think this is SUCH a great idea, for so many reasons. Most importantly, it allows the bride and groom to have a few private moments together to laugh and cry and just be together to let it all sink in without everybody watching. It is special to capture on camera those first instants of seeing each other! And finally, from a logistics perspective, it is nice to take your family and group photos before the ceremony, so you can get outta there and get to your reception faster! (Tony and I are doing a First Look, and it already gives me butterflies to know that we’ll get to have that private time together before the rush of the day begins.)

Here she comes! So cute and excited!

I can’t even tell you how much I love this little moment between Sallee Anne and her daddy.

At the reception at Thornblade Club, everyone gathered around Jamie’s dad’s awesome Thunderbird. Nice ride! (By the way, his dad snuck the car over to us when we shot Sallee Anne’s bridal portraits. She wanted to surprise Jamie with some photos of her and the car! So fun!)
