I'm Back...

I have been in SC since sunday. My Aunt Jane is in the hospital with some sort of illness that was trying to shut down her kidneys and causing her alot of pain. She was in the ICU until yesterday night. I ran up there to be of service with their 3 children, chickens, cats, dog and 6 horses (did I leave anything out??) and came back yesterday.

So I woke up this morning and visited with some of my fave clients, Joy, Bella and 3 mo Anna.

We took some darling shots, my favorite shoot for them so far. Here are the beautiful gals-

PS- CLick in the Price link for a little sneek peek of some items that are coming soon!!

Hotlanta...

Is that how you spell it??? We took a field trip to Centenial Olympic Park for a few hours with some friends. Free+McDonalds= Good Idea! It was very crowded. My kids minded, but I loved the people watching. Here are a few pics of our friends. For those who have not been- go. It really is a neat place. We parked in a lot at the Tabernacle for $5 and walked across the street. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer-

Still Editing, Still Tired...

Boy, am I ready for bed!!! But, I wanted to post a few more of the bday party and maternity session. Hmmm.... what else to say...... hope you all had a great Father's Day. Going to sit on the screen porch with my hubby and listen to the thunder that is just teasing us!! Here is birthday boy and his big sis-

Here is another one from the maternity-

Oh, and my FAVE of the kids!!!!

John Deere Bithday Sweetie...

Happy First to this ADORABLE redhead!!! My eyes are crossing from editing, so I will leave you with this picture and post some tommorrow...

So Excited to Share...

This Sweet couple turned out to be models! I hope they had a good time. Mom and Dad to be are a expecting baby boy, Carson in 2 months AND building and moving into a new home! And they took the time to pose for me. I hope you love them as much as I do!
Mom to be was stepping outside of her box- doesn't she look amazing!!?? I, too, was outside the box by having her stand in the bathtub! Goes to show, you can take fab. pictures in your own home- you'll be suprised.

My Little Sis and Hubby..

I did some pictures for my sis, Laura and her husband, Brad for their 1 yr anniversary. They turned out really cute! Happy Anniversary Neighbors!

Beach Pics...

During our trip, I took some pictures on the beach of my cousin, Tina (Victoria Grant Photography, Conway, SC)) and her adorable family. The beach is not my bag, baby! It is tricky- BUT- I WILL master it!!!! I love the beach so much and beach pictures are so much fun bc you end up WET and sandy. Ok, that was my children (hers managed to stay out of the water). Enjoy!

Down on the Farm...

My children sure had a blast spending time with our cousins at their farm. I took LOADS of pics, so I had a hard time narrowing down some of my faves! Lots to post, but it is moving slow- gotta get to the store. Thanks for having us- to ALL our family!

Home Sweet Home...

We are back! Cut a little short. I am TIRED! We had a wonderful time and spent lots of quality time with some loved ones. I am off to a bath and bed, so here are some pics-

Two really cool kids skateboarding in front of my Grandmother's home. I took some cool pics of them and mom said they brought me some HOT chocolate chip cookies last night bc they were "SO AWESOME!" Too bad I am home now! Mom, Dad and Grandmother, hope you enjoyed them! Then, my dad pushing Morgan for "his turn" skateboarding. Good night :)

Cool Texture...

I was playing around and came up with this- Love it!!! You have to click on it to see the texture, but it will be huge. We went and walked down the marshwalk in Murells Inlet. Morgan kept trying to go down all of the boat ramps, so I was not able to take many pics like I had planned- Oh well!

The Kids, Having a Blast...

Enjoying Ourselves...

The kids and I are in SC having a great time with my parents. We were planning on staying until next week, but we might cut it a little short. (missing daddy) I am returning emails, just a little slower. Here is a pic I took last night at our place at Caledonia. I love it! There are 3 boats dumped there with vegitation all over them. And for some reason, the workers just leave all the wood here too. The creek is actually behind all of these trees. And when I say creek, I mean the marshy creek that leads to the river that flows into the ocean. Gorgeous! My cuz took me out on his pontoon boat for a moonlit night ride. Glass of wine in hand and some lovely bullfog background noise- very cool.

Run, Tyler, Run...

Here is Tyler and his gorgeous family! Tyler is 2 and he is on the move!! This child have all of us quite a workout. But, as always, totally worth it! I have to take Lily to the Doc, so I am posting one really quick collection I put together. I LOVE these pics- so neat. I love Tyler's little legs hanging down over Dad's shoulders as he leans in for a kiss.



2 quick things, I got a new LENS!!!! It is much sharper. I am very excited to have that and pass that quality to my clients. Another thing is the kids and I will be in Myrtle Beach at my parents until begining of June. I constantly check my email- so Please do not hesitate to drop me an email. I am not scheduling any session until after the 7th or so. More posts to come on Tyler- off to the doc!!! CLICK TO SEE BIGGER-----

Brown Eyed Beauties...

These 2 are children of some great friends of ours. They are only 11 months apart and are Best Friends! I am obsessed with my new location to shoot at- which happens to be at the front of our subdivision. I try to make each session different and about the kids. The light is just so pretty there!

Mama's Boy...

Here is Bryce and the mommy that constantly plays catch; shuffles from nursery, work, church and ballgames and endlessly loves her little boy...

Proud Aunt...

Don't you just love the hat and tie??? This one below is my FAVE!!!! I want to use it for something...???

Hello Everyone! Hope everybody had a terriffic Mother's Day. I chose to take pictures of my sis in law and my nephew- something I love doing, so- why not!!?? We had so much fun. For those of you who do not know Bryce, he is "*&%*$" on wheels! This kid can throw a ball like you would not believe. He is so full of energy, yet people look at him and say, "AWWW, he's so cute!" BC he does have that sweet boy side that every Mama gets to see better than anyone- but through that tough kis exterior, it shine through his eyes. We had the best light, shooting around 7- which was brave with an almost 4 yr old. I took alot of Bryce and his mom, but I will post one of those tommorrow- have some more editing to do.

I have heard that many people are fowarding my Blog to friends and fam. Thank you very much. And to all new readers/viewers- Welcome! I hope you can see what I am all about. Maybe one day soon, you will call me to capture those fun, sweet, wild, grumpy, pouty, special moments of you and your kids! Until then...

Proud Mom...

Here is Lily while she was helping us plant flowers for "Happy Mother's Day." Isn't she beautiful??

My Beautiful Baby...

How cute is he????

2 Beautiful Gals...

Well, I finally remembered to make an effort to have my text above my pictures!! This is Sydney and her mom. Sydney is 5 and so full of personality. I let her be herself and just kept on shooting- I think we got some great shots of these gorgeous girls! It was all mom's idea to climb into the tree- lots of fun....Had a blast, guys, hope you love them!

Had to Add a Few More...

STILL editing little Coleman, but decided to post a few I found!

They are a little on the different side. The second is bw with about 30% (?) opacity put back in. Kind of looks old; can't decide if I like it brighter.
