Class of 2010....Miss Taylor Connolly!

I have found so much joy in photographing my seniors this year! They are up for anything and have such a desire to conquer the world! Ahhh.....I remember having that energy once in my life! =)
Regardless, I hope you enjoy Taylor's photographs! She is so much fun...so sweet...and such a great dancer! I can't imagine being able to dance like she does! She is beautiful, sweet and the world is a better place with her in it! Congratulations Taylor!

Say Hello to the Cobb Family...

Say 'hello' to the sweet Cobb family! They are so much fun! We had a blast shooting on a very windy, but nice, Monday evening! We hit some of Spartanburg's hot spots and had a blast! I loved all of the expressions the kids offered! They are so adorable and so funny! Our Graffiti wall rocked! I hope you enjoy their slide show and the few 'Bloggers' I've added to their post!

Thanks guys! I can't wait to do it again!

Introducing...Miss Ashley Caldwell ~ Boiling Springs High Rep for MAP!

Isn't Ashley adorable? What a smart girl she is! She is very mature for her age and was such a delight to work with! We tried so many different things and she was 'game' for all of them! She and I ventured out before our rain started pouring and captured these amazing shots! When I went through these I fell in love with so many of them! Basically.....she RAWKED! Here's what I think...if you do not like these....something is wrong with you! She looks amazing!

As the Boiling Springs High School Rep, Ashley received a free session ($75 value) and free personalized photo cards to hand out to her friends at school. If you are interested in becoming a rep for your senior class, please give me a call today!

It's a Mini-Session with the Allen Family!

I love these mini sessions! It's a great way to meet new people and have them get a small sampling of what a full session could bring! Meet the Allen family! Aren't they so cute? Their children were so adorable! We took these shots at Falls Park and the rest of Greenville was there that day as well! But, the kids did great despite all of the distractions! Thank you for allowing me to photograph your precious children!

Anticipation!!!

It is so scary and fun when you are expecting your first child. You do not know what to expect but you know you can't wait to see your baby's face! My sweet friend Christina is expecting her first child any day now. As I write this post, Christina is on bed rest and is so anxious to meet her baby girl! We took some time out, and very carefully, took some maternity shots. Of course we had to have Daddy in the photos as well! Thanks Christina for allowing me to photograph your family! I can't wait to meet Payton!

Michael + Nicole = Owen & Lily

If you follow me on Facebook, you'll probably see a repeat of what I have already said about this precious family! About one year ago, I photographed the West family for the first time.  Lily was only weeks old and Owen was the same...only a year younger! ha! Now, as one of the perks of my 'job', I am able to see them grow up. What a difference a year makes! Not only do I have a toddler but so does Nicole. Lily has grown up so much. Owen is still a ham in front of the camera and the West family is still super sweet!

Thanks so much for allowing me to photograph your chickadees!

The Courchaine Family

Baby Austin is one of the newest residents in South Carolina. He is four weeks old and adorable! I had the pleasure of photographing his family today! His big brother Hayden was hysterical and so adorable as well! Their dog Molly was very protective and right in the middle of all the action.

Thanks so much for allowing me to photograph your family and your newest addition!

Elliana is Two!

Spring is here! And on a day as beautiful as the one we are having as I type this entry, I took Elliana's two year photographs! She did so well! She had already had a full day playing outside and she still loved being near the creek and exploring the railroad tracks! Her profile is so precious! She has so much energy and loves Minnie Mouse too!

Thank you so much for allowing me to photograph Elliana! She is so cute and I look forward to watching her grow through future shoots!

The Snyder Family

What a beautiful day this past Sunday was! This warm weather is teasing us for the summer ahead! My friends, The Snyders, had asked me to photograph their family and Sunday was a perfect day to do just that! The kids were so cute and hysterical and of course they LOVED being outside! After our park shoot we went to a wall filled with graffiti, turned the radio up and just had fun! What a fabulous day!

Thanks again! You all were fantastic!
