I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year! I’d love to thank my clients for making this Christmas mini session season such a wonderful one for me. I loved working with each of you!

Now that Christmas is over, I can post a couple more portrait sessions. First up, the Ledford family. This family are sweet friends of our’s from church and I was thrilled when they asked me to take their portraits again this year. We had fun exploring Campbell’s Covered Bridge for their portraits. The kids got creative for me and even climbed the inside of the bridge which made for some fun pictures. Thanks Ledfords for allowing me to capture your Christmas memories again this year! We are thankful for you and your friendship!

I had so much fun with this family portrait session because I got the chance to catch up with two of my good friends from high school. I was so excited when Laura contacted me about taking their portraits because it had been way too long since we’d had a chance to get together. I headed back to Rock Hill for their pictures and could not believe how much the downtown has changed since high school. I especially loved the Freedom Alley where we took some of the pictures. It is a tribute to the Friendship Nine, a group of African Americans who were arrested for a sit in at a segregated lunch counter in Rock Hill, whose convictions were overturned in 2015.

Not only did I have the honor of taking pictures of Joe, Laura and their kids, Noah and Isla, but I also got to meet their two foster daughters. I cannot share pictures of those sweet girls but I loved being able to serve foster kiddos by taking pictures of them for their birth families. Thanks Joe and Laura for letting me capture these special memories for you with, as you call them, your permanent and temporary kids!

Things have been busy with portraits this fall. I will have a lot of pictures to share with you but most will not be shared until after Christmas due to Christmas gifts…don’t want to spoil the surprise for families. But, I do have one session I can share with you now.

I had the honor of taking pictures for Kevin and Kelley and their sweet girls again this year. I took their portraits a couple years ago and it was so fun to see how much the girls have grown. Kelley and I met in Clemson and it is fun to be able to reconnect with her in Greenville. This year I took their portraits at Campbell’s Covered Bridge, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for pictures. I just love the color and texture of the bridge and the water is such a fun backdrop. Kate and Karsten are such sweet girls and were great models for their pictures. I loved working with them! Thanks Elders family for letting me capture your family memories again this year!
