A Family of Five ... Yorktown Family Photography

I. LOVE. THIS. FAMILY.

This is the second time I've had the pleasure of photographing them and ... they did not disappoint! I spent much of the time running after various kiddos and the other time laughing and giggling (okay, maybe not giggling... I'm really not much of a giggler, more like a snorter/belly laugh/outloud guffaw-type)...because they are so much fun!

These three little ones are some of the most adorable, intriguing and whip-smart kids I've ever met. The twins are just 2 days younger than my little guy, so I know that they are always on the move.

ALWAYS.

Their parents are gorgeous and patient and have a very calm way with their kids. I love it. It just makes you want to be around them!

So here you go guys... thanks for spending a great sunday morning with me!!















Until next time,

A Windy Beach Session... Hampton Family Photography

There are many reasons I just love this family and it's not that I've known them for years... I met them for the first time the morning of the shoot...

First, they agreed to meet bright and early at 715! Am I one of those crazy, freakishly cheerful morning people? No. Absolutely not. But there is nothing in the world like morning light and it's so nice to be able to shoot a family on the beach in this gorgeous light...

Second, Peter is from MN... which immediately makes him cool.

Third, they've lived in coastal SC... I've lived in coastal SC!

And then to top it all off they were wonderful and brave and adventurous and had a great easy sense of humor! Even when Peter was attacked by a crazy rogue thorny vine (or... maybe he just... you know... backed into it... but it was crazy!) & we had to battle those little sticker-prickly things that affix themselves to EVERYthing...they had a great attitude.

Take care guys and I'll have your gallery up soon :)











Until next time,

Lisa, Dev & Kaela-Waela... Charleston Friends, Round 4 - Done!

And the last of the four families at the beach this year.... Lis I know you've been waiting for this...









I've known these two for a long time and we have a nice long history together. I absolutely love this little girl, but even more, I love watching two of my best friends grow into amazing parents. :)

Miss you guys!

Until next time,

Sarah, Ave & Michael.... Charleston Friends, Round 3... Vacation Photography Hampton Roads

Going through all of these pictures is really making me miss you guys!!









Sarah found out she was pregnant with Avery just a few weeks after we moved to Japan in 2004. I hadn't met her until last year. It was a distinct pleasure, because just like her momma, this little girl radiates personality :) Hope you enjoy this little sneak peek, hopefully I'll have these pics done soon!

Jay, Bria, Christian, & Bella... Charleston Friends, Round 2...Vacation Photography Hampton Roads

I really do have the most beautiful friends. Truly.











I find it so amazing... to see the children of my friends grow up. I could hardly believe it when she told me she was pregnant... and I remember holding little christian in my arms, thinking, "wow..." Time flies.

Your family is beautiful Bri. And these pics don't even scratch the surface :) More for you in a bit :)

Until next time,

Brandi, Gilli & Landry ... Charleston Friends, Round 1... Beach Photography

Sorry this took so long Bran, here's a quick preview of some of your photos! They are so beautiful :)











If I had to describe Brandi in a word: BRAVE.

Wanna know why?

I'll tell you... She took her two kids, her oldest daugther's best friend, AND my two kids in to town BY HERSELF and walked around to see all the beach shops.

Willingly. Like... with a smile on her face...

(And surprise #2 was that my kids actually went WITH her WILLINGLY... without screaming or crying or any major dramatic gestures...)

DID YOU HEAR ME PEOPLE? That's FIVE kids! FIVE. onetwothreefourfive. Ohmigod.

And she came back and was still smiling :)

This is why I love her. Brave.

And she loves kids. And is a fantastic and amazing mother.

I am proud to be your friend ... and love being able to watch your kiddos grow with you every year (you can click here to see her blog entry from last year).

Love ya B. ** I'll send you the CD when I'm all done! **

Until next time,
