Coming Soon…Baby McBryde | Greenville, SC Maternity Photographer

Posted

Can I just tell you how much I am LOVING Sammy and Craig’s “Coming Soon” maternity portraits?? I wanted to post their entire set of proofs; I love these pictures that much! You’ve already seen their Sneak Peek HERE, and from the comments, I see that you all feel the same way! THANKS for all the blog-love for us!

I am finding that I really enjoy maternity photography…there is something special and fresh about documenting a “new” family in an artistic way. There is so much excitement and love and dreams for the future and of course that “glow.” Becoming parents is a once- or twice-in-a-lifetime experience (or many more if you’re a Duggar 😉 …), and I think it is really important to preserve that time. If you or someone you know has a new addition “Coming Soon,” please send them my way!

Oops, I digress. I met Sammy and Craig up at his aunt’s north Greenville mountain home on a sunny but cool late-spring day. Their property has all sorts of neat spots for portraits…a gurgling stream, little cabins, an arbor, and groves of trees with ah-ma-zing light. I think we used all of them! Sammy was 34 weeks on the day of our session. Did I mention that I love these portraits??? Here goes…

I’m pretty sure I was screaming and squealing during this entire portion of our shoot. Sometimes I do that, LOL! It’s just hard to contain myself when I see stuff like this through my camera…

Adore. So completely cute! I didn’t even notice the smiley face on the tree stump until I got home after the portrait session, but it just sums up these last shots…

Landon, 8 Days Old | Greenville Newborn Photographer

Posted

lrt17

There is a wall-hanging in Landon’s nursery that says “The first steps a baby takes are into your heart,” and this little guy has certainly tip-toed right into the hearts of his family. His adorable little pouty lips, laid-back personality, and inquisitive eyes are just too much to resist! Landon is my boyfriend Tony’s nephew, and it was so special for me to not only be waiting at the hospital the looong night when Landon was born, but also to take his first portraits when he was just 8 days old. Landon was wide awake during our newborn portrait session, but he was SO GOOD! He just looked around and hung out the entire time!

This sweet blanket was crocheted by a family member and was a gift at one of Jennie’s showers…

lrt01

So stinkin’ cute!! Love this one!

Landon’s sweet little baby parts…

lrt11

When Rusty, Landon’s daddy, was a little boy, he got a new pair of cowboy boots from his grandad every year. These are some of his old boots.

lrt05

Landon’s little feet will be this big before we know it!

lrt041

Hehe, these make me chuckle. 🙂

lrt03

Landon’s sweet Nana made all of his bedding and this cute sign matches perfectly. The rattle originally belonged to Landon’s great-grandpa and was given to his Nana when Tony, the first grandchild of that generation, was born. It was passed on to Jennie since Landon is the first grandchild of his generation. I think it is a beautiful heirloom!

lrt07

Love, love, love. Quiet moments with mommy and daddy…

Finally, all snuggly and sleepy! Does that little bow-mouth not melt your heart?? 🙂

Elizabeth | Greenville, SC Senior Portraits

Posted

Senior Portraits….not just for high school! Elizabeth is about to graduate from college, and we spent some time at Falls Park in Greenville shooting portraits for her graduation announcements. After a week of gorgeous 80* spring days, it was overcast and a chilly 45* for her session (boo!)….but Elizabeth was amazing and we had a great time anyway!

Yesterday, you got to see portraits of cute little ZuZu, who just became a big brother this week. Today, I wanted to give some attention to Mom and Dad, who were so relaxed and loving during our session.

I just love families who focus on each other, and these parents really seem to have a fun but calming presence. Maybe it’s the yoga…

The Goasguens are such a loving and active family, and this week they grew by one! We photographed these casual family portraits last Saturday, just a week before Baby #2 joined them. Mom, Dad, and little ZuZu played together on the lake shore and celebrated their little family of three…
