The Burch Clan: Spartanburg SC Family Portraits

Posted

Usually for a photographer, more people = more challenging, but not with the Burches. This extended family of 8 was easy-peasy to photograph, because they are just so loving and agreeable! I had a great afternoon photographing their family portraits at Cleveland Park in Spartanburg SC.

Pretty lady! Grandmas are the best.

With the grands…

You may remember Amber and Alyssa from their portrait session last fall. This year, Amber is in college and Alyssa’s a freshman in high school!

burch12

With mom and dad…

burch01

And just mom and dad. How cute are they? I think it’s SO important for couples to continue to document their love story even if they’ve been married for years!

burch13

Adorable little Evan and his folks!

burch07

SO sweet! See why this family was so easy??

burch14

Maybe my favorite from the session. I LOVE this shot of Evan in his daddy’s arms with mom looking on with such care and sweetness.

Burch Family: thank you so much for inviting into your lives two years in a row! You are truly a caring and unique family. I hope that these photos will be a blessing to your family.

I love this family, and I love this place! My sweet friends The Lees came to my sweet grandparents’ house for portraits of their family under the ginormous maple tree. Ella Jane had lots of fun playing in the huge carpet of bright orange leaves beneath the tree. Who can resist all these leaves and Ellie’s pretty blue eyes??

Robyn and Burton just celebrated their 3rd wedding anniversary this week. Happy Anniversary, ya’ll! I’m so glad I was a part of your wedding! (I was a bridesmaid rather than a photographer that day….)

Baby Thomas is here! I had the sweet job of photographing him when he was only 9 days old…and he was just as cute and alert as he could be! (Must be all of the attention he’s getting from his two big sisters. 🙂 ) You may remember his family from THIS POST.

Zach: Greenville Children’s Portraits

His eyelashes are killing me!!

I met Zachary and his mom at Furman on a beautiful spring day…a day perfect for hopping from one side of the creek to the other, for watching sticks sail down the stream, and for throwing handfuls of pebbles into the water, giggling at the splashes and the “ker-plunks.” This day was the perfect day for being a six-year-old boy!

When we began our session, Zach wasn’t so sure about having his photo taken. By the end of the afternoon, however, he invited me to his birthday party the next weekend. 🙂 Aw, I love making new friends! (Even though Zach is a new friend, his family isn’t….I’ve gone to church with his mom, grandmother, and great-grands for most of my life, his great-grandparents are my backdoor neighbors, and his grandmother was my high school English and Journalism teacher. I’m hoping this post is grammatically correct!)

Here’s a little slice of spring that I snapped on my way back to the car from our session.
