Mepkin Abbey Maternity Session | Charleston, SC Maternity Photographer

After weeks of planning, location hunting and then rainy weather, I was thrilled with how the evening turned out for this sweet couple's maternity session. Mepkin Abbey in Monks Corner, South Carolina is a beautiful backdrop. The grounds feature live oaks, old bricks and an overgrown field with wild flowers with the most perfect sunset. It was hot, the bugs were out and we even saw an alligator... just what you expect from a South Carolina summer evening.  

I already called dibs on mom's dress if you were wandering :) 

Check back in a few weeks to see their little bundle of joy! I'm so excited to meet him. 

Flower Cake Smash | Charleston Birthday Photographer

The cake that was just too pretty to eat. Either that or she was totally grossed out by it. My husband and son didn't seem to have any problem with it.

River Family Session | Columbia, South Carolina | Columbia Family Photographer

Trip and I drove up to Columbia from Charleston to photograph his Aunt's family last weekend. It hadn't rained in Columbia in forever, but, as fate would have it, a huge thunderstorm threatened our session. We moved the meeting time up and hoped for the best. In true southern fashion, it was HOT and sunny. As we wrapped up on the bridge the thunder started rolling in the distance. By the time we pulled out of the parking lot it was a down pour. Talk about good luck! 

The last series of pictures with the sisters will always make me laugh. We had to get creative to make sure pokemon go-ers weren't in the frame and I did end up having to photoshop a few out. Apparently there is a gym on this paved trail. That was a first for me. 

Following Seas Photography is available to travel to Columbia, SC for maternity, lifestyle newborn, outdoor milestone and family picture sessions. Please contact me today to discuss your session.
