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.
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:)
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:)
What a joy it was to photograph this precious angel and his family:) I think I could have stayed for hours and hours…if only this little boy would have had me. Each time I looked at Mr. W and his mom and dad, I saw both parents in him and I couldn’t really figure out who he resembled most. But, at this stage in life, it’s so ever changing, isn’t it?
I’d have to say that this stage is certainly my most favorite phase of children’s photography. I can hardly even remember what my daughter looked like as a newborn and that’s why it’s so very important to have those images for years and years to be able to show your children and future generations.
Here are a few that made me feel warm and fuzzy inside…
Enjoy!
