Children’s Valentine Photography Sessions [Columbia, SC Children's Photographer]

I can hardly believe that we’re about to jump into Year 2010.  It is my sincere wish that 2010 brings hope, promise and love to many people, and especially those who faced such a challenging 2009. 

My gift of Love for 2010 includes a new project called -Vintage Valentine – where I’ll be hosting ‘vintage – inspired’ sessions for girls and boys this Valentine’s.  Since this is new, I’ll give you and idea of where I’m going with this.  Think white ruffled dresses and little girl bonnets.  A Radio Flyer filled with flowers.  Little girls and boys playing jump rope.  Babies dressed as cherubs.  Flower bouquets.  Complete with an old, red stool amidst beautiful greenery.

Each session will be curtailed to your child.  We’ll discuss the look we’re going for and all plans will be made prior to our session.

How Many Days Old? [Irmo, SC Newborn Photographer]

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!

Four Generations of Women [Columbia, SC Lifestyle Family Photographer]

I recently had the pleasure to capture the images for a family that will definitely be cherished for a lifetime.  When the mother of the charming little girls below first contacted me, she mentioned that she was visiting family and wanted to capture Four Generations of Women while she was visiting her family.  Time presented a rush since she and her girls would soon be flying back to Paris, France…where they’ve lived the past couple years…and love it she says!  I, too, remember how important it was for me to have a photograph taken with my daughter, me, my mother and grandmother together…so when I listened to the message I just knew I had to make arrangements in my schedule to accomodate.  The weather for our time together (and for the entire day for that matter) was less than cooperative, but we still we able to capture some beautiful images that I hope this mom will love forever and ever.
