    Book Now for Spring 2012 Photo Sessions!

Fashion Friday – {Young Love}

I think February is a great month to schedule engagement shoots or couples photo shoots.  What better way to document you love story than in the month that is dedicated to Love!

I saw this super cute heart sweater and new it was a must for a love photo session!  Pairing it with green jeans and some fun heels, keeps this look fresh and young!  For the guy, a vest, jeans and a red checked shirt pairs perfectly with the girls wardrobe.

I envision a fun, themed photo shoot with heart cupcakes, big heart balloons or a giant wooden heart as props!  There are so many fun things you can do with this theme!

I hope to inspire you to book a shoot today!!

Interview on Launch

Not sure if any of you know this, but I have a separate blog called Seniorologie.  It is an inspirational blog dedicated to the study of senior portrait photography.  I started this blog as a way to combine three of my loves….blogging, interviewing photographers and senior portrait photography.  I love it!  I have met such awesome people and I have learned soooo much!

Every now and then, the tables are turned and someone actually asks me for an interview!  I always find it odd to be on the opposite side, as the interviewee instead of the interviewer.  I definitely know what others go through when I send them my big, long list of questions!:)

Stacy Larsen is a wonderful photographer in Tampa, Florida and she has a workshop called Launch.  With the workshop, she has a blog in which she interviews other photographers on their businesses and experiences.  When she asked if I would participate in an interview, of course, I said yes.  But, as with any interview where I actually have to answer the questions instead of ask them, I get nervous!:)

The interview is on her blog today and I hope that you will check it out!  If you are a photographer looking to learn, Launch is a great workshop to attend!!  Thanks Stacy!!

Fashion Friday – {Valentine’s Mini Sessions}

I know it is only January 20 but Valentine’s Day will be here before we know it!  I love to set up mini sessions to celebrate this holiday!  It is the perfect time to get some really cute photos of your kids and use those photos to send out Valentine’s cards to your loved ones!

I am currently working on my Valentine’s Mini Sessions and will announce it very soon!  I am brainstorming prop ideas and set ideas.  I got some super cute things in my head and I can’t wait to share them with you!  So check back here next week to see when, where and how you can sign up for Valentine’s Mini Session!

In the meantime, check out this inspiration on what to wear for this type of session!  Below is a brother and sister wardrobe using pink as my inspiration!  According to my boys, “real men wear pink!” So don’t be afraid to put that color on girls or boys!

Waiting for Baby – {Greenville, South Carolina Maternity Photographer}

I love seeing a family grow!  I have known this family for a while now and I have had the pleasure of watching sweet Macie grown through the photos I have taken of her each year at her preschool.  It is so fun to see each of the kids each fall and spring and to be able to capture their growth in the portraits I take is awesome!

Through the preschool, I got to know Macie’s mom, Katie.  I was absolutely thrilled when she called to see if I could capture the photos of her expecting their second child!  As soon as she told me she didn’t know the sex of the baby and that she wanted Macie in the photos, my wheels started turning!  I knew there were a few cute ideas I could incorporate into this shoot to tell the story of the family waiting this new bundle of joy.

After a few reschedules due to the finicky weather of South Carolina, we were finally able to meet one beautiful morning and have a fun photo shoot!  I used some cute chalkboard bubbles, a pink and blue balloon and fun pink and blue glitter to show that this was a baby they couldn’t wait to meet!

Enjoy these photos from this session!!  I can’t wait to meet Baby B!

So Honored!

If you follow this blog, then you know one of my passions is writing, blogging and interviewing other photographers!  I have had the pleasure to do these very things for The Savvy Photographer for the past year and I have loved every minute of it!  The Savvy Photographer blog was one of the first blogs that I began following in my journey to become a photographer and I have continued to learn and grow from the information Marsha shares!  I have made some wonderful connections with the photographers featured on the site and learned so much from those that I have interviewed!  And I am so honored to call Marsha my friend!  I will never be able to thank her enough for allowing me the opportunity to do what I love!

So when Marsha first asked me to do an interview about me, I was a little unsure what to say!  I am the one that typically asks the questions, not the other way around!  But she encouraged me to go for it and I had a little fun asking myself the same questions I ask to other photographers!  I have to admit, it is weird being in the role of interviewee instead of interviewer!  But I like how it came out and I am beyond honored for the opportunity!
