Bahamas Bound
Tuesday, August 31, 2010 | Main
|
|
We are leaving for the Bahamas Thursday morning and will return Sunday night. The main purpose for the trip is to photograph a wedding for the sister of a bride whose wedding I photographed last year in Mexico. I'm super excited about it. :)
Cole will also be getting his first passport stamp. While we were home in Georgia recently, we practiced up on being beach bums! :) It appears that Cole is going to take to the role quite well.
You can see he has a lot of anxiety about being in the water!
"Just chillin' - can somebody bring me a bottle please?"
And I'll leave you with some cuteness that I just can't get enough of...
We'll be back soon with lots of beautiful beach wedding photos...so check back! |

Sage and Brooks: Bugs, Frogs, Splashing, & Jumping!
|
|
Last week I made a post about Sage and Brooks. Because I was having software problems, I was only able to post some of the images. I am happy to report that the software problems have been resolved, and the rest of the images are now ready! :)
Sage and Brooks walking hand in hand down the driveway...
The cuteness also known as Sage...
Her handsome brother Brooks...
You always have to be on the lookout for bugs, right?
Sage and Brooks have a favorite game they like to play together where they feed flies to a frog. The first photo shows them playing happily. I'll confess...that lasted all of about five seconds. The fun was quickly over due to the gnats, and the bottom photo shows what the scene really looked like with the two of them steadily swatting the pesky little insects. :)
We had to move around because that is the only way to keep the gnats away. The tire swing looked like a good solution!
Next, Brooks decided to go on a bug hunt.
We didn't have much luck around the pool, so he grabbed his gun and we went looking for squirrels instead. :)
Ya know...you have to be very still to hunt. And you know what that means, right? GNATS! Brooks decided that the trampoline was a much better option, and Sage came back out to join us.
Next, the parents came out and took Brooks and Sage for a quick golf cart ride.
Last but not least, I couldn't resist sticking around to get a few shots of Sage and Brooks as they splashed in the pool.
Lindsay - it was fun hanging out with Sage and Brooks - even with the gnats! :) ha

Sage and Brooks: Horses, Bubbles, and Make Believe!
|
|
This is the first post of two. I am having major software troubles and only got some of the images from the session with Sage and Brooks edited. The others will be up just as soon as my new softwared arrives. It's probably a good thing because I had SUCH a hard time deciding what to post...it would have been impossible to choose which ones to post for just one post.
Lindsay booked a session +2. When booking, you have a choice of booking for just one child or sibling group but adding on other options. The first priority was getting images of Sage and Brooks playing together. The +2 was adding on options for getting photos of Sage playing by herself and Brooks playing by himself as well.
We met at Brooks and Sage's Meme's house. She has a great tire swing that was fun for the kids to ride because it is made to look like a horse. Sage laughed and laughed as her brother pushed her on the swing - especially when he pretended that she knocked him down.
I will have photos of Brooks on the swing in the next post.
After swinging, we had a bubble blowing contest. These two took the contest seriously, and I believe it ended with a tie! :)
When they are older I think that Brooks and Sage will look back at these photos and laugh at all the brother-sister moments. :)
I love Sage's little pink Converse shoes!
I love, love this photo of Sage being a butterfly...
And also tipping the cute scale...photos of Princess Sage...
Sage and Brooks were awesome, and I can't wait to share the rest of the photos with you. It was hot as blue blazes when we had the session with about a million gnats swarming, so I'm extra happy with what we got! And for my "yankee friends" who don't know what gnats are --- consider yourselves LUCKY!

Myrtle Beach Family Session
|
|
I love facebook. Yep. Love it. In fact, if you are not on my friends list, feel free to join me.
As a wedding photographer, you get to experience such an important day in the life of so many people. After being even a tiny part of that - it's nice to be able to stay in touch with clients and get a glimpse into how their new life together unfolds.
When I first met Kim and Brandon over four years ago, I was living in Charleston. They were engaged and needed some photos. This is one of the photos I snapped of them...
A couple of years later I got to see Kim again when I photographed her sister's beautiful wedding at Berry Hill Resort in Virginia. The photo below shows Kim's sister Kay and her husband Bobby.
So to make a short story long...that is how I know Kim and Brandon!
Kim contacted me recently and said that she and Brandon would be at Myrtle Beach with his family and asked me about doing a photo session. I was so excited to go do it because I got to see them AND their sweet baby girl that I have kept up with on facebook. :)
This is Brandon and super cute Elianna...
You might say she likes to have sand between her toes! :)
Brandon's family was fabulous - loved them. They always hold hands and walk down the beach together. {ha} It's a little impossible to do true lifestyle photos of a large family group, but they were certainly up for having some fun.
Brandon's parents...
Kim, Brandon, and Elianna...
Brandon's brother Jason has two equally adorable children - Balen & Yvette.
How sweet is this shot of Brandon's brother Chris and his Granny...
Chris is a popular guy - Balen likes hugging on him too!
Brandon and Elianna playing in the water...
Cuteness...
It's safe to say she is not afraid of the water!
Brandon also has a fabulous sister named Alicia who is engaged to Stephen. They are so fabulous that they required a series of photos to show off their talents. lol
Elianna and her Great Granny...
A little fun in the water...
Now Granny...she's a little bit spunky...and a little bit rock-n-roll. She grabbed Alicia, and made her own little dance floor out in the ocean. She "may" have been on the lookout for a cute man walking by. I'm just sayin'! :)
Now this is Alicia (and Brandon's dad). Sure. He looks all nice and cuddly, right?
Well before I knew it he was totally out of control...
Heehee...we kid...we kid.
I love, love this shot...the love...the motion...the colors.
Meanwhile, the couples were smooching away on the beach.
And yes...Alicia and Stephen will be married next year so we had to do something fun with their wedding date.
I had so much fun with y'all! Hope to see you on your next beach vacation!

Bathtime for Baby
Sunday, August 08, 2010 | Main
|
|
If you keep up with my blog you know that I have a new baby and recently moved. So...I have been taking a break from work to get settled and enjoy time with Cole. If you are here to see portfolio work, please choose from the categories menu above.
Cole LOVES bath time. I think he would splash around in his little tub all day if we would let him.
When he's not busy trying to eat his rubber ducky, he is making some serious waves kicking his legs around and splashing his arms.
How cute is this rubber ducky robe??
Yes, Cole is a mover and a shaker. He has places to go, and he is ready to get there! ha
His tennis shoe socks get lots of miles. :)
Ahhh...worn out.
Snuggled up - and hanging out with his daddy.
