Children’s Valentine Photography Sessions [Columbia, SC Children's Photographer]

I can hardly believe that we’re about to jump into Year 2010.  It is my sincere wish that 2010 brings hope, promise and love to many people, and especially those who faced such a challenging 2009. 

My gift of Love for 2010 includes a new project called -Vintage Valentine – where I’ll be hosting ‘vintage – inspired’ sessions for girls and boys this Valentine’s.  Since this is new, I’ll give you and idea of where I’m going with this.  Think white ruffled dresses and little girl bonnets.  A Radio Flyer filled with flowers.  Little girls and boys playing jump rope.  Babies dressed as cherubs.  Flower bouquets.  Complete with an old, red stool amidst beautiful greenery.

Each session will be curtailed to your child.  We’ll discuss the look we’re going for and all plans will be made prior to our session.

These are just a couple photographs I’ve found that motivate me for this project.  I can’t wait for it to begin and I look so forward to working with your little ones.

[Columbia, SC Photographer] Christmas is a time to love

This year has been so tremendous in terms of meeting new families and friends.  I am so blessed to have met the people that have come into my life because of photography.  bragg-1850-bw

[Columbia, SC Children's Photographer] Round Three

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this little monkey since he was a baby…and, now he’s walking and talking and everything else.  Well, he’s actually been walking since before he was 1, but that’s another subject.  All I have to say to lil C now when taking his photograph is, “Climb up on this…and climb up on that.”  He’s oh-so-the-best climber and he makes it look so easy. 

Our session began with Mr. C wanting to hold onto a can of almonds that he wouldn’t relinquish.  Mom and I hid then and I snuck them in my bag, which kept him peanut free the remainder of the session.  Here are some of the precious photographs from our day!  Love you both:)

[Columbia, SC Family Photography] Carolina Charm

Several emails led us to meet this past weekend at the USC Horseshoe.  The setting was quite fitting for the former-Texas-family- NOW - USC-Gamecock-Athletic-family:)  We’re most happy that they made Columbia, South Carolina HOME. 

Next comes…their CHILDREN.  From the moment I picked the lil’ lady up, she was laughing and laying on my shoulder {sigh}.  I must say,  I’m typically a ‘sucker’ for babies.  Yet, this time I was smitten with the almost two – year old…and probably,  because when I walked up to her and said hello she let me pick her up first try.  I’m a mother of a child who doesn’t do that, so I almost melted like butter.  After a little warming up and getting to know one another, I was able to hold the baby boy.  Then, I became smitten with both.  On to photographs:)

chica bella [Columbia, SC Maternity Photos]

This soon-to-be Mom is expecting “chica bella’ and the entire family is anxiously awaiting her arrival.  La Abuela on the mother’s side only has a grandson, so this little girl is going to be soooo spoiled! 

P.S. Soon-to-be Mom is an engineer and gorgeous…WOW!…What cool things we have to look forward to with Baby S:)

Precious One Year Old [Columbia, SC Family Photographer]

This family could not have been easier to work with!!!  The mother was so prepared, the father was along for the ride, and Little E was probably as close to perfect as one can be at 1~

We had such a great time in Downtime Columbia at the Horseshoe.  We had thought about several locations but Mom’s father went to Carolina and she thought the Horseshoe would be perfect for family memories.  I couldn’t agree more:)  The weather was not so great for our first session, so this was our reschedule and I’m so glad we did b/c every single photograph of E was adorable…which made if quite difficult for me to select the favorites of the day. 

Thanks again B Family for allowing me to share in your special day with E.  You all were wonderful!  I hope you enjoy!

Morning Fun [Columbia, SC Family Photographer]

When we met up for photos I was greeted by the beautiful blonde trio of Mom, Son and Daughter.  From the minute that I met this crew I knew we were going to get some amazing photographs.  Mom was a dream and helped me get to know her children by playing with bugs and insects and the morning turned out to be perfect.

Little One Year Old [Greenwood, SC Children's Photographer]

Little E is about to turn 1 coming soon and he’s quite the little crawler able to quickly grab at just about anything laying in front of him.  That helped us be able to capture tons of full movement shots of him as we just let him crawl and play towards his toys & his sweet Mommy.  I just love how this little one’s eye’s sparkle and I had to pinch and remind myself to get more that just photos of his eyes, lol:)  So, his Mommy helped me from behind with her sweet songs along with mine to the baby guitar sounds of “Quack, Quack”.  Guess you had to be there…Here are some that I wanted to share. 

Oh, and the last photograph was one that I had to include because there was a lowercase ‘e’ drawn in the sun I saw while photographing…
