Morris Family on Kiawah Island

I had so much fun last evening photographing the Morris Family at The Sanctuary on Kiawah Island! Noah and Luke were absolutely ADORABLE!!! And we had some of the most beautiful “golden hour” light to work with. 🙂

Majernik Family at Rainbow Row

Vacationing in Charleston from Bloomington, IL, is a smart thing to do in the middle of January! Although it was only 55-degrees when I met up with Matt & Liz and their kids, they said it was only 25-degrees back home!!! 🙂

We had so much fun laughing and playing as we strolled along Rainbow Row and that historic downtown area of Charleston. We discovered lots of colorful backdrops. The kids were absolutely adorable. And we came away with some beautiful images of their family to commemorate this trip to Charleston!

Many thanks to Matt & Liz for allowing me to be a part of their family for the day…

Beavers Family at The Biltmore

About 6 or 7 years ago I had several delightful beach photo sessions with The Beavers Family during their vacations to Charleston.

Even though it’s been a few years, I was ecstatic when I saw Christi’s email asking if I was available to photograph their family again this year. Knowing how much fun they were, I jumped at the chance. The icing on the cake was, they wanted to do it at a gorgeous location in Asheville! How cool is that?!?

Their family had season passes and arrived early to tour the mansion, which had recently been decorated for the holidays. After their tour, I met up with them at Guest Services, where we began exploring the grounds together. It was so cool to see how grown up Christi’s kids had gotten. Plus it was a pleasure meeting her sister, Tammi, who brought her adorable daughter. To round out the ensemble, the grandparents joined in as well!

We had an absolute BLAST, and came away with a huge variety of wonderful images to commemorate this time in their lives! THANK YOU, Christi for all your hard work coordinating this amazing experience!!!

Holmes Family at Timbers Kiawah

It’s been a whole year since I saw the Holmes Family. I’m always AMAZED at how fast kids grow up!!!  🙂

It was so much fun catching up with them at their home-away-from home. The Timbers on Kiawah Island is an absolutely breathtaking location. It has so many great backdrops and photo opportunities. Plus when you add three adorable kids, two proud parents, and two doting grandparents…it’s a recipe for beautiful family portraits!!!

Join me in wishing this wonderful family a Happy Thanksgiving as they spend this special time together…

Benton Family Christmas Photos

I love the holidays!!! This time of year is all about family, fun, and togetherness!

When Brittany, my beautiful friend and AMAZING model, asked if I could photograph her family Christmas photos this year, I jumped at the chance! Brittany is super creative and always comes up with such amazing photo ideas. Plus she has a delightful family that is so much fun to be around!

We had a BLAST working together at Hampton Park to capture this special time in their lives. 🙂

Scott Family at Hampton Park

I got to know the Scott Family last year during our Mt. Pleasant photo shoot. We had so much fun that I was super thrilled when they called to schedule this year’s family session!

This time we chose to meet at the scenic and historic Hampton Park. A cold front had just moved through, giving us a beautiful afternoon with cool weather. The light that day was fantastic. And their girls were as ADORABLE as ever!!!

I just love it when families are as fun to work with as The Scotts! Beth had some excellent suggestions for backgrounds. And the girls even invented some of their own poses!!! 🙂 Many thanks to all of them for another awesome photo session together!

Fisher Family at Hampton Park

It’s been a few years since I photographed the Fisher Family. But we go WAAAY back together!!! So I was super excited when they called to schedule a new family session together. 🙂

Meeting at Hampton Park turned out to be the perfect location. With “grandma” Belle being 14 years old, it was hard for their Yellow Lab to get around. This park has nice level walking trails that were perfect for her red wagon.  Plus their little Yorkie, Freckles, could keep up in spite of her short little legs.  However, my favorite part about this historic park is the wonderful cornucopia of beautiful backdrops to choose from!

Holly is an award winning marketing expert and genius copywriter. She’s AMAZING!!! Check her out at https://fisher-creative.com/. As a fellow creative, we work well together, bouncing ideas and inspiration off one another. Clint is the dashing rugged outdoorsman of the family who keeps everyone focused and on track. Kate is the sweetest soul and the glue that binds their world together.

I loved all their creative input and and we came away with a ton of gorgeous images of their family! But more importantly, we had a BLAST hanging out and catching up!!! I can’t wait to see what’s on the horizon for this amazing team of beautiful human beings.  🙂
