Crazy Weather Family Session | West Ashley Family Photographer

The day of our session, Mother Nature decided to roll in a nasty mid-day thunderstorm. No problem, we will do the session the next day... right? Well, the once beautiful day turned dark again just as we arrived at Charles Town Landing. We decided to shoot in the parking lot so we could make a run for it the second the bottom dropped out. As we made it across the parking lot, the thunder started to roll in the distance and we knew we needed to work fast. Can you believe we got all of this in about 15 minutes? And this might be a new favorite spot to shoot! 

Cobblestone Dancing | Charleston Family Session

Dancing on the cobblestone and lots of tickling - the BEST way to spend a Sunday evening.

Cake for breakfast! | Charleston Lifestyle Family Photographer

I thoroughly enjoyed a morning with these two brothers...I'm sure they enjoyed their cake for breakfast too!

Cheers to 50 years!

I had a great time photographing this fantastic family as they gathered to celebrate their parents' FIFTIETH anniversary! Mother Nature kept us off the beach, but we were able to take advantage of a beautiful home.

Southern Charm Family session | charleston Family Photographer

It's amazing how small the world is. My husband and I were sitting at our son's new school orientation when one of my husband's coworkers walked in. We were both stationed in Washington at the same time and knew they were back in Charleston as well. However, we didn't realize we lived in the same area, our kids went to the same school,  our youngest were born a few weeks apart AND share a name. Crazy, right?! 

It was so fun to spend a spring night in historic Charleston with them. We started the session at Rainbow Row for family pictures and ended in a hidden alley for a cake smash. 

And then the moment of truth... would he like the cake? It's a YES from me! :) 

Every outdoor session with balloons should end in a "balloon race". 

A last hurrah! | Folly Beach Family Photographer

I got to spend the evening at Folly with this family before they pack up and head back west. It's been a joy to watch these kiddos grow up. Remember the twins' cake smash? Fair winds and following seas!
