Happy Birthday W! [Columbia, SC Children's Photographer]
August 30, 2010 – 10:01 pm
This little man is so good looking that he made me want to kiss his cheeks about every moment I took a look at him:) And, I’m so hoping that he wants to play football for the University of South Carolina!
Here’s a sneak peek of Mr. W.
Happy Birthday Baby C
August 11, 2010 – 11:56 am
I had the pleasure of visiting my cousin for her baby’s one year old birthday party. I was so thrilled to be part of it all and have my camera in tow so I could get some beautiful pics of this little cutie.
May God Bless You Little Man!
this is what you get

When you let your child be themself for a while during the photo session, you’re sure to get one of the most amazing smiles ever (like below)…not forced, not asked for; but the one that you get when you least expect it and it just feels so awesome when you get it:)
Mother & Photographer Perspective
July 28, 2010 – 12:52 pm
How many times have we stood in front of our children asking them to pose & say ‘cheese’ and the like? I know it’s 1 too many times if you’re like me:) I decided to post this photograph up of my daughter so that you could experience with me the importance of capturing our children exactly how they are at different stages in their life. Believe me, when my daughter’s entering college, I’ll be more appreciative to relish in her ‘true’ personality from days past than ones that were forced by me or others. One of the reasons I love children’s photography so much is that when I was a little girl (until middle school & high school) I was a serious, serious kid. All I would do was give the photographers these stern expressions and they’d try and try to no avail. Fortunately, my mother was fond of capturing me just as I was and didn’t force it. That’s what I’d recommend to other mom’s out there b/c look at what you might have missed if you were forcing smiles. That look of my daughter above is one she does like she’s looking inside of your soul:) I’m so glad I caught this b/c it’s an expression I never want to forget…because smiles are a dime a dozen.
best in the world

Carolina Girls, that is! And, this photograph reminds me of the best of times with us Carolina Girls. Soon she’ll be learning to do the shag, but for now, she looks like she has it all under control with her cute expression and little curtsey:)
little boy edit from session
July 21, 2010 – 9:49 pm
This little guy and his mother were the most precious, ever! We had our session earlier this summer and we’re reviewing photographs right now for our order. The mom sent me a message asking if she could see a particular photograph in color (because I had only shown it in B&W).
Anyway…..When I first reviewed this image it showed up in my ‘head’ as a B&W photo. But, WOW! Is the reaction I now have of the image in color.
Thanks Mama B. You did good!
favorite little girl

I have to admit it. She melts my heart:) Everything about Miss E just makes me happy. That’s probably because she let’s me hold her and twirl her and love on her to pieces. But, SHHHH…that’s our secret.
Here’s one of my favorites from recent.
whole foods and exercise
July 15, 2010 – 4:13 pm
So, the days of me being able to eat whatever I want (like chips and salsa and mexican food in abundance) have long passed by. I’ve been disappointed so many times in the last few months either trying on a bathing suit, and especially seeing myself in shorts. This might all sound vain. I can tell you that it really isn’t. I started not having much energy and just the thought of staying up til 9 pm about killed me. So, I thought…what’s wrong with me?
I ached and moaned and groaned about it. All to the tune of about 20 plus pounds of additional weight that I had put on. Since having my daughter I basically kept eating the way I wanted and didn’t bother to exercise. The day came where enough was enough. I remember thinking how active I used to be and wondering what had happened to me.
I talked to one of my clients from my marketing job who has become one of my personal friends. He told me about how he lost 60+ pounds by changing his eating habits and eating a balanced diet. That seemed to be what everybody said, but I began to ask myself, “What is a balanced diet?” He gave me the name of his trainer and nutritionist and that day I must have looked at the name and number in front of me a thousand times. The thought of having a guy train me was just about enough to keep me from doing it. So, I let my pride go! Fortunately I found a woman to help me and since then I’ve been sweating my behind off! Well, not literally:) I have been sweating, though. My eating habits have changed after thinking about what I’m putting into my body before doing so, as well. I’ve changed over to mostly organic foods and vegetables, using grain-fed meat and it’s definitely made a difference in how I feel. I’m on my second week of it and supposedly this is the toughest week because your body is craving sugars, etc, but I’ve managed to control the beast for the most part. I’ll keep you posted on Week 3.
I haven’t lost but 2 pounds. But, I’m not discouraged because I’m starting to see the difference. I just need to stick with it.
Just the Girls [Columbia, SC Family Photographer]
July 10, 2010 – 11:27 pm
Recently I met up Downtown with these adorable girls and their charming mother. We started off just chatting about girl stuff and the next thing you know we were laughing and carrying on. That’s the kind of thing that I love to have happen, you know:) And, it makes me grin inside when that carries over to the photographs.
I haven’t finished editing the photos from our session, but I wanted to post a quick sneak peak of the three girls together. More to come soon.
With Love,
A
