[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.

where did summer go?

I have been sick for several days now…AND my daughter has too…ugh!  Which has left me somewhat behind  updating my blog.  I had such good intentions this week to get caught up on here, but a little bug got in my way.  In the meantime, I thought I’d leave you with an image of the beach.  It seems like yesterday that summer was just beginning and we were just putting our toes deep within the sand.  Now we’re back to reality.

My Attempt at Photography

:Sigh:  I can definitely sympathize with you parents out there trying to take amazing photographs of your children.  This summer I attempted to do so; and while I did get  a handful of good images…it ended up being more stressful than rewarding.  Hence why I typically hire out this kind of thing, lol:)  Actually, one of my photography friends emailed me a couple months ago asking about our beach portraits and at the time I didn’t have our summer vacation planned.  Now I wish I had of hired her this summer because I really could have used a great album called “Summer 2009″ to add to the coffee table.

Brother and Sister [Columbia, SC Children’s Photographer

These two are so beautiful and I loved every minute of spending time with them.  From all the wardrobe changes, to the bugs bitting our legs…they were troopers the entire time.

Miss B looks just like her Dad and Mr B looks just like his Mom…but, ever so often you can catch a glimpse of their other parent in their facial expressions.  Here are some below.

Three Beautiful Families [Chapin, SC Children's Photographer]

This summer has been a whirlwind and I’m so behind on my blogging.  I just had to put these sweet photographs up today because the families have already viewed their slideshows & I completely forgot about my blog.  Shame shame on me! 

The day I photographed this family started out early on the water and the sun was already beating down on us at 8:30 in the morning.  But, the kiddos were all excited and ready to have fun.  And, that’s just what we did.  Had fun.

The first family was these two precious girls who have the cutest looks ever.  I adore some of the expressions we were able to get on their faces.  The oldest sister is one of the most mature little three year olds that I’ve met – to date…and I have a three year old, so I know what I’m talking about.  Ha, ha!

Next on the agenda was Miss L with her little blonde hair and soft baby blues.  So cute and so spunky!

Can’t you just pinch those little cheeks?

Then, Mr. Handsome T.  All boy.  And all fun!  His expressions when he saw the cat in the yard were adorable!

This was when he spotted the cat…

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…

Mr. Smile [Columbia, SC Children's Photographer]

Can you believe this little munchkin gets around at only a year old?  Well, neither could I.  Mom said he started walking at 11 months and he’s been running ever since:)  The session began with lots of smiles from Baby C and his mother informed me of his constant perma-smile…I could only think he was a photographers dream.
