1 year!

I love one year olds... not only because I have one, but because they are so fun and full of their new found personality!! R is definitely starting to show is opinions and personality. Miss SP was no exception! She was recovering from a double ear infection and cutting about 4 teeth at once - so she wasn't so sure about letting go of Mom and Dad at first. As the weather warmed up, she also warmed up to me and we were able to get a few of her playing with a few toys. Grandma sent a Little Mermaid birthday card that played music and it quickly became a favorite! She had a ball dancing to "Under the Sea" :)

I have to thank "Aunt" B for hiring me for the session. What a great birthday gift for Miss SP and her parents!

** If you would like a unique gift for Birthdays or the Holidays, gift certificates are available. We also have gift registries that you can set up and have your shower/party guests visit our site and contribute what they wish to your personal photo session! **

Boone Wedding Slideshow

... a few more from the Boone Wedding this weekend...

The Boones! - Charleston, SC Wedding photography

A&B are married!!!

My second photographer, Kim, and I drove down to Charleston on Saturday morning. Rain threatened to make it a soggy weekend, but lucky the rain had stopped by the time the sun came up on Saturday. It did leave behind plenty of water in the streets of downtown Charleston and traffic managed to delay the wedding a bit, but it was a beautiful ceremony and reception. Everything went as planned and many tears of joy were shed! The wedding was at First Baptist Church where the bride went all the way up through school and reception was held at SC Society Hall. It was a beautiful event!! A planned out everything to the 'T'. There was a candy bar with all fall colored and themed candies, a beautiful spread of food, a great band, and a beautiful and delicious cake!

I'm home now (after a session with a 1yr old this morning) and couldn't wait to blog about the big day... the slideshow will come soon and will be posted here, but for now, here is a sneak peek! - I know - lots of details... but I love details - especially at weddings!! That's what you plan for so long - all those details! :)

A&B - Say Hi to Mickey! ;) Have a great time and enjoy!

A Little Christmas Elf

Little Miss A drove all night long to get here for her big session today! Her cousins are the 4 girls from the previous post and they were here for just the weekend to visit baby W.

(Please pray for baby W. They had a scare in the middle of the night when she stopped breathing after spitting up and she is in the ICU)

I have been dying to use this hat and I'm so glad we got to use it today! We may create a special birth announcement Christmas card!



I love catching the interaction with mom and dad and seeing the emotion for their new little ones...

... and just because baby tooshies are way too cute to resist.. I love "Baby Legs". I was always confused what they were for, but they are super cute for pictures!! (btw - they are leg warmers for crawlers in dresses or to cover boy knees while crawling in short outfits.

FOUR!!

Four GIRLS!! Daddy sure is outnumbered in this household! Baby W arrived 4 weeks before she was due, so today at just over 2 weeks, she was still good and sleepy! Mom and Dad were surprised by little girl #4, but she is so sweet and so loved already. All 3 big sisters are already in love!

Mom and Dad - Thanks for letting me get my fix of pink today! Enjoy the sneak peek!!

We had a lot of fun in the nursery... all that pink!

(and a nice one for the grandparents)
Aren't they beautiful?!




One for Dad - a swim coach at USC.


The newest with the "Big Sis" title

Miracle

You never know what life will throw at you...

Mom and I met just over 4 years ago when I first moved next door to them in Charleston. Miss E (as seen on the blog previously) was only 3 months old. While we were neighbors, Mom was diagnosed with and survived breast cancer. She was told that there would be no more babies... and I think they had made some peace with that fact. Well, here they are - due for baby girl #3 in just a few weeks! Both big sisters are very excited for baby Izzy - as we all are!! :)

October is breast cancer awareness month.... Please do self checks, get checked by your doctor and donate!!!

Mr. Big

If you keep up with the blog, you may recognize little miss E... Her parents are good friends and repeat clients a few times over. Well, little miss is now a big sis!! Mr. B made his arrival a week ago today at a whopping 9lbs 8oz and I just couldn't wait to use some of my new props on this big guy. He wasn't that into sleep - even at just one week old... Momma was the focus of this guy's attention! We did get him to nod off for a little while and big sis did a wonderful job giving sweet and gentle kisses!! He was such a trooper and we got some great images.

**Reminder - I am booked for 2008 holiday sessions, but maternity and newborn sessions will still be worked in as they are time sensitive and cannot be pushed back :) **


E - I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!!





Big sis tuckered out too!
