Broadwater Family Session Slideshow
Just working on the Broadwater’s order and posted this slideshow and their images on facebook….thought I would post their facebook slideshow on here as well. Beautiful family!!!
Entire day devoted to working on the Broadwater Session…
might work faster if I wasn’t so cold!!! I added a 2nd pair of socks and got another cup of coffee, but I’m freezing for some reason. I’m hoping it will warm me up. Wish I knew where I put my slippers….never wear them but would like them right about now!
Although, I looked at the temperature outside…low 50′s…then I looked at Akron Ohio (where I grew up), Canton Ga (where my parents and sister live), and Rock Hill (where we just moved from)…WAY less than that. So, not really sure why I’m freezing! I think the problem I’m having is that our weather has been varying so much. We have had days almost to 80 and then Thanksgiving morning it was 37! Mostly been in the 50′s and 60′s during the day which isn’t bad. I’m not sure why I’m so stickin’ cold. Maybe my body adjusted to the hot Texas heat of 99 to 105 this summer.
LOVED LOVE LOVED this image and it makes me feel like I’m on a rocky beach somewhere….so, had to post it….
The Broadwater’s Sneak Peak…aka “The Rockstars!”
I had an extremely busy day today and only had the opportunity to work on a few images from the Broadwater’s family session from yesterday, but wanted to get a couple posted for them. I’ll probably post more as I get more finished.
These 2 stood out to me so I grabbed them to work on. Holli, Teagan, and Ayden were TONS of fun to work with! They thought my request for them to bring sunglasses was strange, but they trusted me. I totally think it payed off. My 4 year old daughter walked over when I was working on this first one and said “They look like Rockstars!” I had joked with the Broadwaters that it looks like a band cover image when I was taking it. But, thought it was even funnier that my youngest could see Mommy’s vision for it. Check it out…
Cristi & Alyssa’s Fort Worth Stockyards Session
I had a blast Saturday with these 2. Our goal was to get some western themed family portraits for their Christmas cards. I believe that we definitely succeeded! They were great sports…walked all over the stockyards from end to end, changed clothes, and did it again. I am certain they will be extremely happy with the results because we ended up with a lot of fantastic images. I have only worked on a few so I can’t wait to get to all of them. I love shooting in the Fort Worth Stockyards because there is so much variety there! I could probably find new “spots” to shoot every time. Here are a few images from their session as a sneak peak:
The Elliott’s Family Portrait Session
It is sumwhat sad that this will be my last session with the Elliott family. I have been photographing Layton while she was still in her Mommy’s tummy and I’ll miss them greatly! I had a great time capturing this session. Layton was so funny. Many of you know that I tend to make noises trying to get kids attention….well, Layton was copying me. It was HILARIOUS!!!! Plus, the private park that we did these in was a wonderful place! It had a really great waterfall that wasn’t on during the session, but we made great use of it anyway. Plus, it had a cute bridge and was extremely shaded. Great place! These are a few of their images. Wonderful session! I’ll miss you guys!
The Godfrey’s Family Portrait Session
This family was a TON of fun to photograph! These kids just oozed orneriness!!! Which made the session a blast! I’m still working on the images, but here are a few that caught my eye:
Some Awesome New Urban Locations…
Carrie requested to do more of an urban family session rather than the typical on-location park session and we had a lot of fun this past Monday morning capturing images despite the cold weather. She is very anxious to see a sneak peak so I worked on a few of their images so that I could post them and I know she will be pleased with the results…urban style…




The James’ Family Session!
I wanted to post a few from the James family session from last week which we did in Glencairn Gardens. It was fun to see Wyatt since I haven’t seen him since he was 6 weeks old! He is now 8 months old and man is he adorable!! Thought I would share a few of my favorites from the session…




Thank goodness for photoshop!
I am working on the Vastag’s session from last week and I’m extremely grateful for photoshop! The Vastags were wonderful! I had a lot of fun with them during their on-location session at Glencairn gardens. But, with 12 people in a photo that contains young ones…combining images is the way to go! It takes me a little longer, but definitely produces a great final product! Here are a couple from their session….I have many more that I have to work on!



Layton’s 18 month Session!
I just couldn’t resist working on some of the images from this morning’s session and posting a few! It just shows what a beautiful backdrop Glencairn Gardens makes all year round! Layton was on the move the entire session exploring the park which is why I highly recommend for this age to be photographed outside! She was simply a joy to chase around this morning. I know that there are so many beautiful images from her session, but thought I would post a couple that caught my eye.



Ebony & Denorris’ Engagment Slideshow!
Ebony & Denorris were in this evening for their preview session so I thought I would share their Facebook Slideshow:
Engagement Session for Ebony & Denorris
I had a WONDERFUL time this past Saturday with Ebony & Denorris capturing portraits of their recent engagement at The Greenway in Fort Mill. The Greenway gave us so many options like bridges, buildings, woods, and the lake. They laughed and had fun which made for some awesome images. They are excited to get a sneak peak…so here are a few:




The Dairy Farm and the Youngs…
The Youngs had a session at the Dairy Farm in Fort Mill this morning. It was another hot morning for outdoor sessions, but we did our best to stay cool. I was just going through them and found these 2 that I absolutely love and HAD to post them! Cheryl, hope you enjoy this quick sneak peak….


Adamson’s HOT Session!
Adamson’s had their session scheduled this past Saturday which was an EXTREMELY HOT day….97 degrees I believe was the high! We did about an hour of shooting on-location in Glencairn Gardens to give the kids a chance to roam around and play while I got shots. Then, we made our way back to the air conditioned studio to do the in-studio portion of their creative portrait session which included Harper’s 1st Birthday Cake Smash! Harper really dove into the the cake and even picked the entire cake up to eat from it! She was a lot of fun to do this type of session with. Here are a few from their session:




A little bit of everything…
Haley’s 1st birthday session consisted of in-studio formal shots, cake smash, and on-location shots at Glencairn Gardens. That’s a lot for a little one year old to handle! She wasn’t crazy about the cake…she made a funny face at it. It was hillarious. She did suck on her fingers, but couldn’t figure out where the sweet taste was coming from. I loved her outfit with the ivy and white tulle. Her outdoor shots showed of her beautiful blue eyes! Here are a few from this session:




Glencairn Gardens

I had a session today in Glencairn Gardens and I must say….WOW! It looks beautiful! This was always my go-to location for outdoor sessions, but they have been working on it over the winter and I have been avoiding doing any shoots there. I happen to swing by there a couple of weeks ago and saw how much progress they had made. There is still work to be done, but it looks amazing! Once it is finished it will be the PERFECT outdoor location! This shot is one of the newly completed sections of the park…I totally see family pictures with this in the background!
