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

December 15, 2011 – 10:32 pm

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:)

Family Photography in Columbia, SC

November 2, 2011 – 8:05 pm

I knew immediately when I began talking with this Mom that she “truly’ knew what she was looking for upon hiring me.  Her kindness, excitement and genuine love for her family completely reminded me what everything I do is all about.  Once our conversation ended, I knew that our session was going to be incredible because our goals were united.  And, these are just a few of the emotional captures we got from the day.

Mister C {Columbia, SC Children’s Photographer}

November 7, 2010 – 9:23 am

I’ve had the pleasure of working with this little one since he was about a year old.  And, ever since then he’s always had these special little ways that he lights up the camera.  Here’s just one of them.

Trendy Toddler {Columbia, SC Children’s Photographer}

November 6, 2010 – 3:15 pm

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:)

[Columbia, SC Family Photographer] Christmas in garnet

November 8, 2009 – 8:05 am

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

November 3, 2009 – 11:19 am

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:)

Precious One Year Old [Columbia, SC Family Photographer]

October 19, 2009 – 3:44 am

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!
