Jackson John

I am so excited to be able to photograph "a year in the life" of Jackson John. He really does hold a special place in my heart and I'd go take his pictures every week if I could. I was honored to be invited to photograph his Baptism as well. Here is just a sneak peak of his "3 month" session.

Family

I actually took these pictures back in October but keeping up with this blog is a challenge. However I wanted to share these pics because this family is awesome. enough said...

Taylor

I love when I get to take photographs for my friends. Everyone is always so relaxed which makes for great pics. I had the pleasure of taking Miss. Taylor's 1 year photos at the Isle of Palms. The day was perfect, just before sunset and Taylor put on the charm! It was a lot of running for her mommy to keep her out of the ocean but the pics turned out amazing.

Dont forget to take the time.

Things are busy. Things are hectic. I forget things left and right. I'm stressed and I have tons of editing piling up. But the other day my husband and son were sitting on the couch together, nothing really going on just sitting. My camera was next to me so I picked it up and started clicking. Those are the moments I want to capture. Those are the moments a lot of us take for granted. No matter how busy I get I never want to forget to take the time to stop and enjoy those moments. It's the simple things that make us who we are. Don't forget to enjoy them.

October = Family

I have fallen so behind in updating my blog....sorry friends. October has been a very busy month for me so far and it's no where near over. It has turned into a very "family"month with lots of family portraits, including my own. My brother and his family were visiting from PA and I decided it might be my only chance to get a portrait of us for my mom. It was NOT easy with 2 toddlers and 6 adults but we got it done. I will update on all the other beautiful family's I've photographed very soon.

Elise

Another great newborn shoot the other day. Oh how I love those little ones. Ms. Elise did a fantastic job. After just a little bouncing from mommy she was good to go. I think she really enjoyed all the new textures I kept putting on her. She had some beautiful heirloom blankets that we used and a few other special "family" things. I love when I get to use personal items like that. I think it makes the photos mean so much more. Here is just a sneak peak of beautiful little Elise.

my little photographer

The other day while cleaning my kitchen I was inspired by my antique camera collection. I have quite a few on display but one in particular grabbed my attention that day. It was an old brownie that I inherited. I've always loved it but at that moment all I could see was how cute my son would look holding it! I took him out into the yard and just let him have fun with it. At first he tried looking through the viewfinder as you would a more modern camera. (which was adorable)But after I showed him how it worked he had a blast. He was running all over the place telling me what he saw through the lens, "I see a tree, I see mommy". It melted my heart. I would love to be able to see the world through the eyes of my son and photography is the closest I'll ever get.
