Happy Birthday | Charleston Milestone Photographer

This sweet boy came over to celebrate his first birthday in style.

Cheers to 50 years!

I had a great time photographing this fantastic family as they gathered to celebrate their parents' FIFTIETH anniversary! Mother Nature kept us off the beach, but we were able to take advantage of a beautiful home.

Charleston Newborn Session

Southern Charm Family session | charleston Family Photographer

It's amazing how small the world is. My husband and I were sitting at our son's new school orientation when one of my husband's coworkers walked in. We were both stationed in Washington at the same time and knew they were back in Charleston as well. However, we didn't realize we lived in the same area, our kids went to the same school,  our youngest were born a few weeks apart AND share a name. Crazy, right?! 

It was so fun to spend a spring night in historic Charleston with them. We started the session at Rainbow Row for family pictures and ended in a hidden alley for a cake smash. 

And then the moment of truth... would he like the cake? It's a YES from me! :) 

Every outdoor session with balloons should end in a "balloon race".

All. the. feels. 

A last hurrah! | Folly Beach Family Photographer

I got to spend the evening at Folly with this family before they pack up and head back west. It's been a joy to watch these kiddos grow up. Remember the twins' cake smash? Fair winds and following seas!

Newborn Mini Session | West Ashley Photographer

He never made a peep, but he made sure I had to work to move his hand into a position other than where he wanted. He was a total dreamboat.

Behind the Scenes | Charleston Baby Photographer

Every time I pass these azaleas on a walk I think about how cute Rhett would look sitting in them. As soon as he woke up from his nap we loaded up the wagon with props and headed to the sidewalk down the street. I snapped this cell phone picture to show you what it actually looked like. It's nothing much, but it made it look like he was surrounded by flowers!

Folly Beach Maternity Session

It was so windy, a little cold and we were the last people at the beach, but HOLY COW! I am so thankful for clients who trust me and hang in there until the sun sets. First beach session of the year set the bar pretty dang high. I cannot wait to meet their little girl soon.
