The Hickmans

08Jan10

The newest Hickman, little miss Georgia, stole my heart with her cute and tiny features. Big sister Margaret is just as adorable, and seems to be loving sharing the spotlight.

Thanks, Hickmans! I always enjoy watching your family grow.

My Favorites.

05Jan10

Undoubtedly my favorite kids to photograph. Even when one starts kicking and screaming the moment I ask her to stand in a certain place. Even when I try to take pictures of 3 kids, 3 and under by myself … one of which couldn’t sit up on his own… (what was I thinking?). Even when we finally get everyone happy and ready for a picture only to have same child ram her chin into the chair she’s supposed to squat beside.  Child and family photography is much more than a click of the shutter and good lighting… especially when they belong to you.

Aren’t they sweet?

They look so happy because they realized that after they hugged for the picture they could wrestle each other to the ground. Hey, whatever works, right?

The best I could get of the three of them…

I still can’t believe they all belong to me!

The Rikards

04Jan10

This shoot was in December and on the coldest day of the year up to that point… I’m convinced. There was no reason for anyone to smile, but they all beared the cold without complaint. Great sports!

Thanks, Hilary and family! Let’s do it again on a warmer day!

Lindsay & Reese: Engaged

31Dec09

I had the best time on this shoot with Lindsay and Reese!  I love how the colors of the trees work so well with the colors of their clothing and Lindsay’s hair!

Lindsay and I  had some overlap in our college involvement with a campus ministry and it was great to reconnect a little, as well as meet her fiance, Reese!  I so enjoyed seeing their interaction and his thoughtfulness and love towards her.  AND… he was amazing in front of the camera. I’m always impressed when the guy isn’t too cool to take hundreds of photos for an hour.  Way to go Reese.

If I’m not mistaken, I think tomorrow is their wedding day. What a great way to start the new year!

Thanks again, guys, for coming to Spartanburg and giving me the chance to spend time with you and take some photos!

Coleman: 2 weeks!

17Dec09

A little cousin of mine who is so cute and tiny! I loved getting to meet him and take his photo!

The new family! After only 2 weeks and a c-section they have already transitioned so well.

Coleman’s mommy is my first cousin. We were born a few months apart and had a lot of fun experiences over holidays, family vacations, summer camp, and when she’d come to visit our Mimi. It was great having a cousin my age to grow up with! (Sorry to my little sister, Callie, who had to endure the two of us being bossy big sisters at times!)  People used to say we looked so alike… neither of us ever saw it, but I’ll take that compliment any day. Isn’t she beautiful?

Too tired to open both eyes. Love it.

Merry Christmas Coleman and family!

Jackson

This little fella is so cute and smiley!  I love it!  Jackson was born 12 days after my little guy and it’s been so fun to watch them grow up together (and now finally notice the other when sitting a foot away).  I hope they get to be best buddies!

Jackson, thanks for all the great smiles!

Sometimes after not doing photography for a little while I feel nervous to step back into it. For some reason I find myself having to ease back into anything from taking constant care of 3 little children… However, I was totally reminded how much I LOVE photography after shooting this session with these great kiddos. Such a fun morning just walking around and chatting with them (and their mom who I really enjoy!). AND, let’s not be honest here… those 2 sets of blue eyes make it hard to not get a good shot.

Thanks Betsy and kids for a fun morning!
