Trendy Toddler {Columbia, SC Children’s Photographer}

Today reminded me exactly why I chose to photograph other children and families.  My daughter has had numerous photographers work with her and there’s only a few who truly know how to work with kids.  This little bundle of energy and delight reminded me exactly how I remember my own daughter at his age.  It brought back so many wonderful memories and I’m so thankful that I was able to be part of it all today with this family. 

I decided to post one quick photograph from today that I really loved.  I have to tell you that this little man with his dark brown eyes and light blonde hair really melted me.  And, in this particular photograph you can see all of that and his adorable attire – perfect with coat & boots!

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:)

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…:)

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!

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.
