The Country Club of Spartanburg ~ Golf Course Grand Re-Opening

December 6, 2008, was a day many of the Country Club of Spartanburg Members had waited for. The day their golf course was re-opened after an extensive renovation. This renovation began in May 2008 and I must say was well worth the wait. The course is beautiful; even if most of the grass is dormant! My thanks to my 'driver' who drove this pregnant photographer around to take photos of this great course! I am pleased to show you the new, and improved, Country Club of Spartanburg Golf Course!

The Johnson Family

I would like for you to meet the Johnson family. They are such a sweet family and have one of the most beautiful daughters! Her name is Charlotte and her eyes and little lips are so precious! She will be one the boys chase after when high school rolls around! She is so pretty! However, Charlotte did not have a good day on the day of our shoot. She fell right before I arrived and I do believe her little head was hurting her. Then, it was rather chilly and towards the end of our shoot it began to sprinkle. My girl was just having an off-day. (I can totally relate Miss Charlotte!) Regardless, we were able to get a lot of sweet shots of her! I hope you all enjoy the Johnson's slide show.

PS: I hope your sweet head is better Miss Charlotte! =D

The Tooth Fairy Visited Us!

This past Tuesday night, Cade lost his first tooth! It was not a traumatic experience like I thought it might be. Rather, Cade was so excited to think about how he was going to tell his teacher and his classmates about his missing tooth! He was even more excited the next morning when he found his gift from the tooth fairy! There is no slide show to view with this post; I just wanted you all to see my big boy with his missing tooth!

Miss Kynlee Boyer is Nine Months Old!

Little Miss Kynlee Boyer is nine months old! I can not believe it! I have watched her grow and what a pleasure it has been! She is so sweet and I love holding her! She is as light as a feather and so sweet! Her eyes are so beautiful in these shots and she was just as photogenic as ever! Take a moment to view her slide show and see not only great photos of her, but of her sweet mom and dad as well in their new home!

Mr. Davidson Chou

Today I had the pleasure of photographing one of my favorite families.....the Chou Family!
They are such great people and, I've said before, just about the only other Alabama fans in the Upstate! Davidson is now one year old! I can not believe it has been a year since I photographed him as a newborn! Time sure does fly! We had a great time hanging out at their home and watching Nick (their sweet dog) chase squirrels and harass the poor neighbor's dog! Davidson was a trooper and did so good even though he was so tired! Thank you again for asking me to photograph your precious family! And just one more thing..........Roll Tide Roll!

My sweet friend Samantha...

Yesterday, November 19th, was so cold! Is this January and we just breezed past Christmas!? Brrr! But, despite the cold weather (which we eventually warmed up to) my friend Samantha and I ventured to a local park and took some fun shots. I have known Samantha for about 1 1/2 years; for about as long as I have lived in the Upstate. Samantha is a very sweet young lady and I am proud to call her my friend! Thanks Sam for allowing me to take your photos! You rock!

The Denman Family

November has just been so beautiful! One Sunday afternoon was no exception. That is when I met the Denmans at their gorgeous home in Taylors, SC. They have a long, curvy drive way that leads to their own little piece of the world. It is beautiful! They have two horses, Laney and Faith, that also share this property with them. Of course, what beautiful home wouldn't be complete without a sweet dog and a cat! They are such a sweet family and we had the best time laughing and 'shooting.' Thanks for allowing me to take your family's photos.

The Creamer Family

November 1st must have been the day every photographer dreams of. It was perfect weather and I had the opportunity of photographing a gorgeous family! The Creamers are a beautiful family of four! Their daughters are so well behaved, beautiful and so sweet. I can only hope when my daughter arrives and grows up, she acts as well behaved as these two! We had a lot of fun walking around Falls Park and finding different spots to shoot. Take a moment to view their slideshow and see for yourself, what I am talking about.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to photograph your precious family!

The Curry Family

Saturday, November 1st, was a beautiful day! I started my day with a photo shoot out in Fountain Inn at the home of the Curry Family. They live on a beautiful piece of property just outside of Greenville. They are so sweet and their children are so cute! Houston and Hartley are some of the cutest children. Their eyes are so brown that you just melt looking into them. We were able to take a lot of fun shots of the kids. In taking their shots, I realized that it goes without saying you just can not get much cuter than a little girl in a tutu! Take a moment to look at their slideshow! I hope you enjoy it!

Mary Katherine Mcdanald

This past Wednesday, I made the beautiful drive to Fountain Inn. There I met Mary Katherine. She is a gorgeous baby girl! Her dark eyes and beautiful skin were so pretty! And, she was a very good girl the entire time I was photographing her! Her sweet mom, Kerri, wanted her photographed in her Baptismal Gown. This was no ordinary gown. The gown was made from her mom's wedding dress. This is such a beautiful gown and now it has become a precious family heirloom. Thank you so much for asking me to photograph Mary Katherine. She is such a blessing to your beautiful family!

(Make sure you notice her beautiful nursery! This was a girly girl room and I loved every inch of it!)

The Garrett Boys!

I am always amazed at how much energy boys have! Sunday night's shoot was no exception! The Garrett Boys are in full swing all of the time! I think it would be safe to assume they are 'full speed ahead' from the time they awake in the morning until the time they lay down to sleep. They are so cute and even though I only spent one hour with them, I could tell they all have very different personalities! I enjoyed watching them play while I took their photo. I kept thinking to myself how much my little boy would LOVE to play with them! Although I have to say I am a little worried at what damage they could all cause!

The Whitesides Family

This past Saturday was a beautiful day and it ended with a sweet photo shoot of a beautiful mom, Heather, and her precious children. They are Olivia, Riley and J.C. Personally, I think their mom looks a lot like Kelly Preston. She is beautiful and her children are no exception. We took these photos at a small neighborhood park and the kids were so good! How many kids do you know would cooperate with a photographer when playground equipment is inches away! They were fabulous and the photos prove it! Thank you so much for the honor of photographing your family. You were great!

Aaron Ford Weds Deana Borders

I had the privilege of photographing the wedding ceremony of Aaron Ford and Deana Borders on Saturday, October 11th. I met Deana back in May and we have become fast friends. She is such a sweet person and has been a delight to work with since day one! Aaron is no different. I met him on his wedding day and immediately felt like I had known him for months. These two are so sweet together and are so in love. Being around both of them all day was such a pleasure. I really felt as if I was photographing two of my dearest friends. To top it off, the wedding party was also a pleasure to work with; and there were 20 of them combined! Aaron and Deana, I wish you nothing but God's blessings on your life together.

A special thanks goes out to my sweet friend Mandy Mayfield for assisting me with this wedding! You are awesome!
