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!

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…:)

Family Photography [Columbia, SC Photographer]

Is there a deserving family that you’d like to bless?  If so, please comment with your story and nominate that special family. 

I’ve had the opportunity to read about what other photographers across the country are doing for families in need in their community.  Many of these families are going through some trials in there life and complimentary photographs seem to just bring a smile to peoples face.  One photographer Cristina Coco just announced the family she’d be photographing a couple weeks ago.  Reading her blog prompted me to do the same and reach out to someone deserving of something that they might not otherwise have been able to do.  And, that’s what life’s about isn’t it?  Sharing our God-given talent with others.  Seems as if it’s a win-win for everyone involved.

So nominate a special family and share a few things about why you’d like them to receive a day of photography.  We’ll include several prints for the family, as well. 

There’s nothing more special than ’family’…and, I can’t wait to meet this one.  Winner will be announced on Valentine’s Day.  Check my blog for information or email me with questions.

[Columbia, SC Photographer] Christmas is a time to love

This year has been so tremendous in terms of meeting new families and friends.  I am so blessed to have met the people that have come into my life because of photography.  bragg-1850-bw

[Columbia, SC Photographer] Recent Family Photography

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.

[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.

[Columbia, SC Family Photography] Carolina Charm

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]

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!
