Happy Thanksgiving!

I just wanted to take a minute and tell everyone that we hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving! I'm sure I'll eat too much today, but that's okay! We get to spend time with our families and then us girls have our annual Thanksgiving night trip to Garden Ridge - I know we'll see the regulars there we see every year!!!!

I know several of you are waiting on your sneak peeks to be posted on the blog....I'll have those up for you soon! With this sinus infection, I haven't felt too great the past week or so.

Take care and enjoy the holiday!

Baby Audrey

Baby Audrey came by on Friday for a session. She had a doctor's appointment before she came - little did her mom know that she was going to get shots. Needless to say, little Audrey wasn't in the best of moods, but we still managed to get some great shots of her!
Who can resist little baby feet?

She looks like she is concentrating so hard on her hand!

I am not sure why, but this one is my favorite!

Cam did get Audrey to sleep for just a little bit!

Cam it was great to see you and to get to meet Audrey. I hate it that she got poked and prodded by the doctors and wasn't feeling well!

The Otten Family

Wednesday Marty and I met the Otten Family at Reedy River Falls Park for a very chilly session. You couldn't tell it by the pics that it was cold though - we still got a smile from everyone!

Little Margo was just a cutie pie!

Evan and Margo!

Evan didn't mind having his picture taken at all! These are two of Marty's.

A few more of the whole family.

I love Margo's eyes!

A little sibling love!

A little fun in the swing...

And a quick one in front of the tree roots before we were done!

Caroline and John - it was great to meet you and your little ones! I hate that the weather turned out so cold!

The Howell Family

Monday I met the Ashley, Greg and Stella for a family session. Stella was tired, but we were able to get a few smiles out of her! Here are my favorites from their session....

She laughed at her daddy!

Her little dress was adorable!

A little help from mommy and daddy!

There's that grin again!

One more with all three of them!

Then we tried to get some of Stella by herself! She wasn't crazy about the idea....we attempted bribbing her with a sucker (her first actually!).....sometimes a sucker just doesn't do the trick....

...then again on second thought....and a little help from all three of us trying to get her to smile! LOL!

I think the sucker pics are just too cute!

And I can't forget those big blue eyes!!!! Ashley it was great meeting the rest of your family! Stella is beautiful and I love her eyes!!!!

The Willimon Family

Sunday after Stacy's session, we hung around downtown and met up with the Willimon family. These two boys were so much fun and didn't mind getting close to one another at all!

Here are my favorites.....Harrison first...
Hayden and Harrison with their grandparents.

And then with mom and dad!

Just the boys!

Ashlea with her fellas - Ernie, Hayden and Harrison.

A few of the whole gang!

A few more of Hayden and Harrison...

Hayden by himself...And one last one with mom and dad!

Ashlea it was great meeting you and your family! Hayden and Harrison were a blast and did a great job!

Stacy's Bridal Portraits

Originally scheduled for Friday, we had to move Stacy's bridal portraits to Sunday because of the rain. I'm glad we did - Sunday's weather was perfect and we got some amazing shots of this beautiful bride! I wish I could post some images, but I have to wait until she's a Mrs.! For now, you get a peek at her gorgeous ring.....
and one of Marty's random signs that he finds while we're shooting!

Stacy, you looked awesome Sunday! I hope you had fun and I'm glad everything worked out!!!!! :0)

A little slow

Sorry for no new posts lately. I've been sick the past few days with a sore throat and what seems to have turned into a sinus infection. That on top of trying to edit as fast as I can have kept me from posting recent sneak peeks on the blog. They will be up soon, I promise! :0)

The Brown Family

Saturday Marty and I drove down to Columbia to visit my friend (and college roommate) Alicia and her family. After debating on where to do their family session, she finally decided on Irmo Town Park.....I think she made a great choice!
There were so many pretty leaves out there and Xavier had fun picking them up!

A little fun on the swing!

I have to admit...I'm liking the brown and white!

Marty's shot of Curtis throwing Xavier up in the air! LOL!

Definitely one of my favorites!

Could he be any cuter????

My favorite!

Alicia, it was great getting to see you again and visit a little! We definitely need to meet up more often!
