The Lee's

I had the great pleasure of meeting this family around last year's holiday season and was thrilled to be called upon again for the newest season's round of family portraits. Lesley & Heath are Ms. Mady's biggest fans though with those big brown eyes, there is no doubt her base is sure to grow. She is a total sweetheart and we had a great time snapping this family at the local park!

Shadoe & Zazzy

Precious, wonderful women whom I treasure much. These two started the beginning of an insane work-week for me and despite the fast fading sun we grabbed some great shots and gabbed until long after it went down.

The Smiths

This sweet little family was a pleasure to shoot and not only because of their great look, but because of how sweet they were through the process. It's clear that they truly love one another. Patrick and Blake have been longtime sweethearts and their love has brought about two of the most unique children. If I never believed in a typical "Irish" look, I'd be sure to convert quickly with just one glance at this group. Tiny but spry, twinkly eyes and that unmistakable red hair made for the most fun in shot after shot. Big brother Carter is full of mischief and charm but definitely a loving protector of his baby sister Camilla. I have a feeling she's got just as much of his impish ways in her as well but may get away with a little more because, who can resist that darling face? All in all, it was a great morning and our hour together flew fast by but not without a few sincerely fantastic photos- at least I think so, but don't take my word for it. Sit back and relish these for yourself.

Wallace Farmer turns 7!

Wallace and I sat in my car waiting on the rain to pass so we could get started on his 7yr. photo-op. While I let him have the iPhone so he could "beat my scores" at a variety of games, he chatted me up on everything from his baby sister to school, from his latest fishing adventures to how much he would miss me when I left Columbia. Needless to say, the latter left me with quite a lump in my throat. Wallace Farmer is a sweet, semi-shy, impish little man with a million questions always running about his brain. Working with him is always fun as he is forever offering me a bevy of new faces and poses to work with whether it be Superman, Spiderman or just his own serious or silly moves. This is a truly great kid!

Jane-Claire turns 5!

I can do little more than let these photos speak for themselves but I have to say that it has been my sincere pleasure to be a part of this sweet baby girl's life from the beginning. What a gorgeous but sassy and sweet girl she is - I love her dearly.

Ms. Mandy McGraw

The following photographs only scratch the surface to some of the very cool shots we scored during Mandy's photo-op. When she asked me to schedule her for a shoot for cover-art to be featured on her debut EP, I was thrilled to also hear her give me full artistic license. So... I did just that and promise to share the actual album artwork just as soon as it's completed. In the meantime, keep your ears open for this girl. She has got real talent and I'm honored to have been a small part in her journey to stardom!

Brookley Howell: The Early Graduate

I think this may have been the biggest "headstart" on Senior portraits I've ever had but what a way to kick off the graduating class of 2011. With an incredibly sculpted pair of cheekbones (I would die to have!) amber colored eyes and chestnut curls, Brookley worked herself frame for frame and did a smashing job! I especially loved the fact that she rocked her pink birdcage hair-piece inside of an enormous water fountain - it is the clients up for anything that have the most fun and make the most amazing pictures. Have a peek and tell me if you don't agree.
