Steele Family- Columbia, SC Family Session

We had the Steele's scheduled a couple weeks ago but our session was rained out.  We rescheduled for last weekend, crossed our fingers and the weather turned out great!  This family of four was fun to work with and the kids were great.  Here are some of my favorite shots from the day.

The E Kids

One of my favorite things about photography is getting to photography the same families year after year and watching the kids grow through my lens.  Last week Suzanne and I met up with the E family to get their 2011 pictures.  I can't believe how much they have grown since last year! They were extremely well behaved and loved it when they got a "picture break" to climb the trees around the horseshoe but of course I still took some cool shots in the trees!  I hope you enjoy!

Last Friday right about now...

Last week Suzanne and I went to Gatlinburg with my family and had a great time.  On Friday we left the cabin at 6am and drove over to Cades Cove which is a natural reserve to see the scenery and try to spot some wild animals.  We saw several deer, a buck and some wild turkey.  There are a ton of black bears on the land but we didn't see any.  Here are some of the unedited pictures of the scenery I took that morning.

After Cades Cove we drove around for awhile and when we stopped for breakfast there were some cool horses so I got a few pictures of them too. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I have several sessions coming up so I will have a lot to share with you in the coming weeks!

Mike- Portrait Session

Last week I had the privilege of photographing Mike Sturkie who is a local gospel singer to get some updated photos of him to use for his website and CD.  I really like the ones we did of him in his uniform.  Here are a few from the session.

Baby Zoe!

I had the privilege of taking Baby Zoe's newborn pictures on Saturday.  She was a trooper and we got some really great shots.  Nick and Annie are already awesome parents and seem to have the whole parenthood thing down after less that two weeks... I'm impressed! Here are some of my favorite ones from the day.

Jessica's Bridal Portraits

 Jessica and Keith were married on Saturday so now I can show off some of her Bridal Portraits.  We did these a couple of weeks ago when we had perfect Fall weather and Jessica was a great model.  She loves zebra so we even incorporated a Zebra chair in some of her pictures.  I was really happy with how these turned out. Congratulations Keith and Jessica, have fun on your honeymoon!
