Happy Birthday W! [Columbia, SC Children's Photographer]

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

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!

Mother & Photographer Perspective

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

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!

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:)

Baby Session [Children's Photographer - Columbia, SC]

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…:)

Easter Session with Sunshine [Columbia, SC Children's Photographer]

Is it just me that’s craving sunshine?  Do I need to start a march against the rain on the Carolinas this season…? Perhaps that’s a little extreme, but I was so excited to see the sunshine for this session. 

The weather was perfect for this brother duo. The oldest of them was a little shy at first, but warmed up pretty quickly after we started playing games together.  He had the best manners and was such a handsome little man.  Everytime we wanted the youngest to play with us, all we had to do was incorporate the oldest into the mix.  All he had to do was smile at his little brother and everything as then “A OK”.   

 

 

Easter Portraits [Children's Photographer in Columbia, SC]

Easter is such a special time of year for so many reasons!  Many of you, I’m sure, have already started that endless search for the ‘perfect’ Easter Dress or little boy wear.  Some of you have already picked out a new Easter basket so your little bunny can hunt those eggs in style this season. 

I have to admit that the cold weather can go away as quickly as it came…just my opinion.  I’m ready for Color!  Spring!  Summer!  Life!  And, that’s what I was so hoping for with our Easter Sessions coming up.  Throw away your inhibitions and Jump into Spring this year!  How about shades of Green, Hot Pink, Blue & one of my personal favorites…Coral!  Shades that make me just think about warmer days and life under an umbrella drinking a Mai Tai…well, uhm…back to reality.  You have to admit, though, you’re thinking of warmer days, too. 

And, here are a few Easter ideas for you…only they’re in the form of a Photo Card.  That’s cool, isn’t it?  I think it is.  Easter Photo Cards to send to family and friends of your cute little bunny this year.  Perhaps with an updated photograph with all of your family?  Maybe even little mini cards to give out to your child’s school mates, along w/ sweet treats:)  They’re all sure to please!

Family Beach Fun [Columbia, SC Family Photographer]

The weekend started out so fun with this Family of Three.  Dad had places in mind where he wanted to take pictures and we all were ‘game’ for a little scavenger hunt for the best place to photograph.  We went down dirt roads, beach -front property and  much more.  Some of my favorites were along the streets off the beaten path….But, I have to say that any of the places would’ve been awesome!  I can’t wait until our next family session because my mind has so many more ideas in mind for next time. 

Little C is so fun to work with.  He lights up in front of the camera and has such a sweet personality.  Those blue eyes melt my heart every time:)
