sailboats and sunsets • Greenville, SC family photographer

C Family Part one

The lighting was perfect, the setting was perfect, and the C family was perfect. I loved everything about this shoot. I had so much fun hanging out and getting to know the C family. Young boys are so much fun! I wouldn't mind having a few of them of my own one day...but that's a long way off and ultimately in God's hands. I'm doing two posts because there's just too many I love and I can't choose...First up...

Christmas time is here! • Greenville, sc photographer

I love the holidays, and for the first time in a long time, I'm taking time to really enjoy it and get into the spirit. I bought sugar cookies tonight that I plan on decorating and I also want to bring back the tradition my grandmother and I had of making gingerbread houses.

I love making things and Christmas is the perfect time to make new things for gifts or decorations.
I can't wait to post some of my attempts this year...It will have to wait until after I've given the gifts.

We went early this year and got our tree at Ty-Lyn Plantation in Cashiers, NC. Last year we discovered that the trees look a lot smaller out in the field than they do in our house, so we went for a smaller one..almost too small, but it fits our house well;) I wanted the retro look with the big lights, but unfortunately got the neon colors so it just looks redneck...it's still fun though.

(yes, that's a Dwight bobble head on the TV..)

I saw this at a store in Atlanta and had to replicate it...The letters were originally done with fabric, but I didn't feel like spending the money so I used wrapping paper...

Our Christmas cards this year...We took them ourselves..can you tell?

I even made a decoration for Benson...I used green and red felt to cut out the holly, sewed it together and pinned it on his collar.

Millie • Greenville, Upstate, SC Family Photographer

I absolutely LOVED how these turned out. Millie was on the move the whole time, fell and bumped her cheek, but still managed to do perfect and smile for the camera at just the right times.
Had so much fun with you guys!
