What's going on???

What? No new blog posts since the first of November??? I know, I know....sorry everyone! Between being out of town and trying to get caught up on some major editing I have not been updating the blog. Shame on me!!! I know several people wanting to see sneak peeks of their sessions, but honestly I just haven't had time. With all the Christmas sessions I've been shooting and all the weddings needing to be edited I have made those a priority!!!!

So...I just wanted to let everyone know that yes, I am still alive and busier than ever!!!!! I promise to have tons of blog entries soon - I think I am about 10 sessions behind on blog posts!!!!! Until then, everyone stay safe and please don't remind me how many days there are until Christmas!!!!

McKenna

I met McKenna and her mom out at Reedy River Falls last week for a session. The weather was great and McKenna had a blast. I love this one of her watching the water.
She looks so deep in thought.
One of the reasons I love photographing children is being able to interact with them and have fun. It's so much better than trying to force them to pose in a studio-type setting. Here's McKenna throwing leaves at me.

And more leaves.....
Giving her mom a hug.
McKenna's mom wanted to get a few shots of them together.
I really like this bridge out at the park. It has such a rustic look to it.
We went to the other side of the park and watched a few of the ducks and geese that were out there.

Then we found some water for McKenna to play in.
I love this one of her and her mom. McKenna was having fun getting her feet wet.
And I saved my favorite one of them together for last.
It was great to see McKenna and her mom again! I had fun walking around the park with you both!!!!

Riley & Dalton

So I've been a little behind on the blog lately - mainly because I've been trying to get as much editing done as possible. Riley & Dalton came by the studio recently to have their picutres made together. I loved Dalton's blanket...
He was just so laid back and relaxed!A couple more!After Dalton it was time for Riley!!! She is so cute!!!!

We didn't get many of the two of them together, but here is one of my favorites... I think the best part for Riley was being able to go outside to see the dogs!

Jennifer, it was great to finally "officially" meet you and meet Dalton too! Your children are adorable!!!! :0)

Tiger Calls - Week 10

This weeks Tiger Calls show was at the BI-LO store in Powdersville. The crowd was pretty much non-stop the whole entire show.
The display in the foyer of the store.
Even the tiger was ready for the show!
Still going strong....
The Pepperidge Farm rep for the store had Tommy sign a bag of goldfish.
This little man was too cute!
This group was selling barbeque out in front of the store. I didn't get a chance to taste it, but it smelled good!Coach Bowden and store manager Tim Evans.
As always......

Simpson Family

The Simpson family came by yesterday for a quick family session for their Christmas pictures. It was great to see them even if it was a short visit!!!! Here are my favorites.
I'm still so amazed at how fast babies grow up - it seems like only yesterday I was doing Irina's maternity pictures and now they are getting ready for Sasha's second Christmas!!!
She liked giving the bear hugs!
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas (even though it seems WAY too early to be saying that!).

Tiger Calls - Week 9

This weeks Tiger Calls show was in Pendleton. Marty and I were a little early so we rode around a few minutes, and I must say that the downtown Pendleton area is really nice. I'll definitely have to go back there one day.

If you didn't know, there was a Harvest Moon that night and it was huge. Here's a shot of it across the parking lot.
For Coach Bowden, it was back to signing autographs....
We were outside on the sidewalk...And I must say, the BI-LO Coke machine fit right in.
Hard at work!Some football players came straight from practice and barely made it in time to sign up for the autographed football giveaway!

Melissa & Clay

I met Melissa and Clay at Clemson University Sunday for their engagement session. It was the perfect location for these two alumni! We had private access to Death Valley so the stadium was ours. We started with the infamous rock.
The grass isn't as green as I wished it would have been - guess that what the cleats do to it.
Can you spot Melissa and Clay?
We decided to play in the seats a little.
After we were done at the stadium we headed over to the Tillman Hall area to take some more shots. I liked the big bell!This is definitely one of my favorites!
We then drove over to the Botanical Gardens and walked around there a little.
None of us had been there before and I didn't realize the gardens were so big. There were lots of various trails you could take.
I love the rock columns in this arbor....very pretty!Congratulations Melissa and Clay! We'll be seeing you in August and good luck with your house - you have a wonderful builder so I know the house will be outstanding!!!
