A new Gamecock Fan

Late in October, Scott and I went to his cousin’s wedding in Mt. Pleasant.  Their reception happened to be in the clubhouse of four of our college friend’s neighborhood.  We sent them a quick text to see if they were home, and one couple was, so we decided to rush over quickly to say hello and meet their new bundle of joy, baby Jacob.  After a quick visit, I realized I had my camera at the hotel and we scheduled an impromptu photo shoot the next morning.

To date, he was the best baby I’ve ever photographed.  He was so laid back and happy.  Pair a happy baby with the gorgeous light the Bells’ house offers, and you get some great photos.  Enjoy!

Baby Stella

In October I was fortunate enough to photograph the lovely Miss. Stella.  It was close to her 2nd month birthday, and she was an absolute perfect model.  Here are some of the shots I got from that day.

My fur babies

Since we don’t have children yet, Scott and I call two furry pets our babies.  Russell is our first adopted baby, a tuxedo cat with a very laid-back demeanor.

Then there’s Charlie, our Boxer + German Shepherd mix who’s very playful but insanely sweet as well.

Ryan + Laura

These two cutie pies I’m proud to call part of my family.  Ryan is one of Scott’s older brothers, and Laura is of course his lovely wife.  In April I asked if they’d be my models for a faux-engagment session.

Pretty Mama

Before Caroline’s baby shower, I took a few pictures of her adorable pregnant self.  She looked great throughout the entire pregnancy.  Here are some favorites:

 

Second shooter

That’s right.  I shot….a wedding.  Technically, my title would be second-string photographer for the talented Heidi Graves.  It was a fun experience, and I’m thankful for the opportunity despite all my photographic limitations, especially at the time (these are from this past April).  I think I’d do a much better job now after having learned so much these past five months, plus the addition of my awesome new lens.  Maybe I’ll get my chance at your wedding…

So here’s the best of my shots from back in April:

Visit from Tyler + Olivia

My cousin sister, Olivia, affectionately known as “bug,” brought Tyler up to Spartanburg for a visit.  It was supposed to be a trip to the Greenville zoo (my gift to her for her birthday) but we were rained out.  Instead, we just went to lunch, watched a movie and had a mini photoshoot.
