What’s Going on with Amy McWatty Photography, Columbia, SC

I can already plan my New Year’s Resolution NOW…drum roll, please:)  I need to update my blog more regularly.  And, that’s a fact for sure!!!  The positive side to all of this is that I’ve been busy busy.  Amidst all the changes in our family, I have to say that I’m still in an adjustment period, but, I know in all-too-short of time, I’ll be right in the swing with the new way of life – photography & mommy mode:)  Two great combinations. 

For years now, I’ve been in marketing full-time, while doing my photography passion on the side.  I have to admit that I loved my marketing career,  but life just got a bit too hectic with work, hobby, family, church, school, etc – that I gave a big ‘Adios’ to the marketing gig.  I’m certain I’ll miss my paycheck and extra spending, but the amount of time I hope to gain raising our daughter should well make up for it. 

Cheers to everyone & Happy Friday in 2 more hours:)

Just the Girls [Columbia, SC Family Photographer]

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,

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:)

This little boy is so special because his mommy is like a sister to me…and I love them both so much.  That’s all I can say without crying…:)

These past couple of weeks could not have been better.  I had the most amazing time with my family over Thanksgiving and then my Gamecocks won against our state rival, Clemson.  I guess you could say that I’ve been in a celebration mode since then.  And, what’s to come.  Why it’s Christmas!  A couple of weeks on Cloud 9 and then back to normal.  Hopefully, I’ll stay there, lol:) 

 

My clients over the past couple weeks have been amazing, no matter what state university they were from.

[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 Photographer] Christmas in garnet

This family was so calm and willing to try whatever.  And, wait until you scroll down and look at Little C.  He’s one handsome little man.  I couldn’t take my eyes off of him.  We were going for mostly photographs for the family Christmas Card, but I couldn’t help but snap a few of the cute little one.  Here are a few from the day.

[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:)
