All white newborn session | Charleston Newborn Photographer

I always end sessions with an all white portion. While I love the beginning with color, it's always these end shots that tug at my heart.

First Look | Yellow and Pink Newborn Session | West Ashley Newborn Photographer

I can't wait to go through more of these pictures, but here is a quick look at little Miss L. She is the light of her parent's world and she was so good to me this morning. 

Mepkin Abbey Maternity Session | Charleston, SC Maternity Photographer

After weeks of planning, location hunting and then rainy weather, I was thrilled with how the evening turned out for this sweet couple's maternity session. Mepkin Abbey in Monks Corner, South Carolina is a beautiful backdrop. The grounds feature live oaks, old bricks and an overgrown field with wild flowers with the most perfect sunset. It was hot, the bugs were out and we even saw an alligator... just what you expect from a South Carolina summer evening.  

I already called dibs on mom's dress if you were wandering :) 

Check back in a few weeks to see their little bundle of joy! I'm so excited to meet him. 

Right on Time | Fresh 48 | Charleston Newborn Photographer

When Hurricane Matthew decided to show up in Charleston the same weekend as this little girl's due date, we were all a little nervous. This family happens to be some of our really good friends so we invited them to evacuate to Columbia, South Carolina with us. Day after day we watched the storm coverage. Morning after morning we asked Pam if she felt different. All I could think was that my friend was going to bring her baby "home" to my in-law's house. Though it all, Pam remained at peace that God would protect them. 

As soon as the storm moved through and the roads were passable, they quickly hit the road back home. Thank the Lord they did - Pam went into labor that night! They welcomed baby L on Sunday afternoon, 24 hours after Hurricane Matthew passed through Charleston. 

Stay Safe Charleston!

I might be a little slow to answer emails as we wait to see what happens with Hurricane Matthew. I'm still planning on getting galleries from last week out in the next few days. Everyone stay safe out there!

First Look: Folly Beach Sunset Maternity Session | Folly Beach Maternity Photographer

Because there were two stars of the show last night... 

Rain in Charleston is pretty rare. Or at least it feels that way after living in Seattle for three years.  We had gone days without a drop of rain and then on session day, it was pouring! We pushed the session back until the next day without a chance of rain and hoped for the best since Missy and her husband were on vacation at Folly Beach. 

Y'all, last night was perfection. Cotten candy clouds over the surf and a pug wearing a bow-tie. What could be better that that?

Sunset at Folly Beach | Folly Beach Maternity Photographer

Folly Beach has always been a special place for this out-of-town couple. They've visited many times and were even married on the beach. When it came time to do their maternity pictures, it was only fitting that they drove back down to "their beach". It was a perfect early fall night at Folly. The sun even put on a show for them - the sky was the most beautiful shades of pinks and oranges.
