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!)

Ahhhh, I have SO MUCH amazing stuff to show you, but I am SO FAR BEHIND. Eeek!

Please be patient if you are waiting on your photos or if you are ready for fresh blog posts. I’m plugging away and I think it will be worth the wait. Love you all–Amy Clifton Photography doesn’t exist without my amazing and beautiful and passionate clients!

Stephanie & Clark Are Married! Part I

He makes her laugh and keeps her calm. She inspires him to be a better person. They are classic in their style, and timeless in their love. They are lace and bowties and Clemson football tailgates. They are Stephanie and Clark, and they are married!

(Stephanie’s Romona Keveza gown and custom veil from J Majors were gorgeous. You may remember her bridal portraits from THIS POST.)

Stephanie’s adorable shoes!

So much happiness! Happy bride getting dressed, happy sister helping, happy mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law seeing Stephanie for the first time!

Stephanie’s mother presented her bridesmaids with these beautiful embroidered handkerchiefs from Europe. Stephanie and her mom then traded, so Stephanie’s “something borrowed” was her mom’s handkerchief. Sweet idea!

I wasn’t able to photograph inside the sanctuary at Aldersgate UMC in Greenville, SC, but I captured some beautiful images through a beveled window in the door!

Stephanie had a little problem remembering which finger Clark’s ring should go on. 😉 Love all the laughter in this moment.

The stained glass at Aldersgate is gor-geous…and a perfect mix of traditional and modern, just like Stephanie and Clark…
