A Sunday Before Church [Columbia, SC Family Photographer]

It seems like ages since the mom from this session and I spoke about taking family portraits.  You know how things go with kids, right?  And, you know how things go when a photographer has then, too, right?  Such was the case with this session.  I think the minute this family would get well, ours would get sick…And, so on, and, so on.  That just set my expectations super de duper high for the day we were to meet up for a fun family session.  And, I sure wasn’t let down at all.  These little girls are the cutest and spunkiest ones around.  Normally it takes a little time to warm up for our session, but these ladies had such a welcoming personality that before I knew it, I was their little girlfriend with a camera.  Here are some of my favorites from that Sunday morning.

Beautiful Family at the Horseshoe [Columbia, SC Family Photographer]

I met this mother through my full-time job as she’s one of my clients.  From the moment I met her, there was just something different about her.  The way she carried herself.  The way she spoke and treated people.  And, the genuine way her little eyes sparkled the minute she was asked about her Mister R.  I can certainly see why.  Sometimes mothers take for granted how truly special they are and I can bet that this mother is quite the same.  What I do know for a fact is that the mother loves her son beyond what this life imagines and her husband just pulled it all together.  The three of them have a lifelong journey ahead of them filled with so much passion, hope and love.  Nothing with these three had to be forced at all.  They just seemed to forget I was there and play mom, dad and child.  I was fortunate to be asked to take it all in. 

In another upcoming blog post, I’ll be writing an article about this mother and what special book she’s written for other mom’s out there called Mommy’s Kisses.  It’s certainly from her heart as it was written for her son. 

Sweet Little Boy [Columbia, SC Children's Photographer]

This little boy was such a joy to photograph!  He was so easy going (and I remember during the session I wondered if it was for real) because of his age.  He didn’t seem to mind anything that we tried.  I can’t wait to see him when he’s walking:)
