First Look | Downtown Charleston Family Session | West Ashley Family Photographer
About an hour before we were supposed to meet the clouds rolled in and it started to sprinkle. We decided to move forward with the session and hope for the best. Dad watched the radar as I worked with the kids and little miss toted the umbrella (that was bigger than her) as we walked around. With the pastel colors, snuggles, giggles and dancing, it was the perfect night despite the rain.

I love chatting with moms about their birth stories while I shoot. You would never know this guy had a tough start. He was full of giggles (sisters are really funny) and delicious baby rolls.
Red, white & blue twin smash | West Ashley Cake Smash
Whenever I get an inquiry about a cake smash I get excited. When I got an email about photographing not one, but two baby's first birthday smash I'm pretty sure I said, "YES!!!" out loud at my computer! Two little ones eating cake at the same time, sign me up!
We started the session with some portraits. Even big sister got to jump in for a few, which the boys were a little unsure about. Poor Finn was actually a little unsure about the entire process, but Larsen came in ready for his close up. Finn finally warmed up to the camera a little when the cakes came out and sat quietly eating his cake. Larsen was still his crazy self and even tried some iceskating in his cake icing - which ended with him sitting on his brother's cake.
By the end of the session, everyone was blue (mom and dad included!) and everyone's tummy hurt from laughing so hard.

There's a saying, "it's a small Navy." It amazes me how true that statement is. I meet this guy's momma when we first moved to Washington. She was pregnant at the time and our husband's worked together. They moved to Charleston about two years ago, when little P was about 6 months old. Of course, we just moved to Charleston a couple of months ago. I was so happy when I was asked to photograph their now THREE year old (what?!?!) before they moved on to their next big adventure.
Our session was full of running around Hampton Park, looking for dinosaurs and jumping off boxes in the sunshine. Could you ask for a better evening in downtown Charleston?
My Charleston Studio Tour!
It might be small, but I'm loving this new studio space. I learned a lot from my Washington studio space. I decided to set up my new Charleston space with as much as possible tucked away so my working space kept a light and airy feel. I actually feel inspired in this space and I can't wait to see all of the memories photographed in this room.

"Born together. Friends forever." These two boys broke in my new space during their cake smash. Maybe I should call their session a cake slide because little Mr. L can tell you cake gets slippery!
Our Summer | Neighborhood Playground | West Ashley SC
There's this field. I drive past it every single day and admire its beautiful tall grass. I kept wanting to take Landon out there to play, but something always seemed to come up. Everything finally worked out last night where I could drag the baby out to the field for some pictures I'd been dreaming up. I'm saving those for a few weeks, but I'm telling you... the field was better than I even imagined.
Anyways, the baby needed to burn off some energy after taking pictures. Since I had my camera in the car, I decided to bring the big camera to the playground.
