Had a really fun session with a fabulous senior and her fabulous mom!

We did drive around all of Chapin, I think, but it was well worth it in the end.

I hope you love your sneak peaks Julia!

{sweet savana}

I can not believe my boys were EVER this little. Savana is so precious and it was so nice to have such a teeny tiny baby to capture. Thanks Windi and Matt for being my guinea pigs...I owe y'all one ;)

{just beachy}

I was invited down to Edisto Beach this weekend by my brother in law, Steve, and his sister, Kim, as a surprise for their dad. They wanted me to take some family pictures of them on vacation at the beach. I was more than thrilled to come down for the weekend with Carl and not only take pictures, but spend some fun times with their family.

Kim was teasing me that she wanted to see them on my website by 8pm Sunday evening....sorry it's an hour late, Kim, but here's your sneak peak ;)

And something for my beautiful sister and her amazing husband....

{baby jake}

I had the pleasure of taking baby Jake's 2 month pictures the other day. He is absolutely precious and growing like a weed!

Here are a few from the session....

{wedding bells}

So here are the sneak peaks from the Dreher Wedding. Thanks again, Rachael & Eric, for allowing Carl and I to capture your special day. We're so happy for you both!!! It's still a work in progress, but here are a few....

{Gallagher Bridal}

Here you go Rachael! Your own little sneak peak of your beautiful bridal portraits. I hope you love them! Eric is going to drop his jaw when he sees you walking down the isle! I feel honored to be able to capture it all for you! :)

*** A special thank you to my lovely assistant for the day, my niece, Michaela Rule. She was a big help with lighting. Couldn't have done it without you, Michaela! :)

{Hood-Pittenger}

I took some sibling pictures for a family that goes to my church. The 2 older Hood-Pitt kids are in youth group so I've gotten to watch them grow up. Great family and it was fun to do a shoot with them! You guys did GREAT!

{rory}

OMG! Have you ever seen a sweeter baby boy? Rory is such a cutie pie and I loved taking his 7 month pictures! He's super laid back and didn't mind sitting in a pot or being squished into a teacup. Can't wait for mommy to see the rest... :)

{emme grace}

I finally got to meet little Emme Grace today. I have taken her brothers pictures, but had yet to meet this adorable little girl. Today was her third birthday and what better way to spend it then getting her 3 year old pictures taken? :) Is she not just a doll baby? And such a great little personality. I had such a great time with her and, of course, chatting with her mom :)

It was days like today that made me remember just how much I love doing this--for what I get to do and the great people I get to meet doing it!

{the carter kids}

So I had the privilege of taking some family shots for my dear friend, Jess, and her kiddos. Oh--if they could all be this easy. Aiden and Brodie have the best personalities and you can definitely tell that their momma is a fellow photographer. They've got the poses and the smiles down pat. And they are way too comfortable in front of the camera for her not to be using them as test shots :)

I loved this shoot. I can't wait to do some outdoor shots soon...

{taylor}

I had the privilege of doing a senior session today for Taylor. She was one of the most photogenic people I've ever met. That made my job cake! I just snapped away...I finished the proofs in record time, so these aren't necessarily sneak peaks, as much as just showing you what I did today :)
And congrats to Taylor for making the cheer team at Newberry College!

{pretty in pink}

Here they are! My very first tutu pictures!

I "stole" my friend, Kelly's daughter, Ashley, and took these.

I'm loving how they turned out. I think Ashley has a future in modeling! :)

Thanks again Kelly!
