Roberts Family

Have I mentioned how much I love this job? Well, I do! I love capturing special moments for families and I truly enjoy sharing the 1-2 hours getting to know people, their personalities and their stories. The Roberts family was definitely one of those families that I will always remember. They were so kind during our session and you could tell that they are just good people. I enjoyed meeting them and taking Evie's 1 year portraits. Amanda told me a story about their first attempt for 1 year portraits at one of those "mall" portrait studios. Evie was clinging to her mother (understood!) and didn't warm up to the people taking the photos so they suggested the Roberts family reschedule. Just another reason that I appreciate what I do best! Evie was just perfect and if you are patient with kids and let them do their thing, they will warm up to you. This is another reason why I prefer to do a combination of  'studio' and outdoor shots. What kid would prefer to be in-front of a backdrop with lights in their face? I don't know any! But if you get them used to the camera while they are having fun & being a kid, you get the best shots and I feel that is what happened on this (rainy) Saturday morning in May.

Hoe Down - 2 year old style

So by now you know that this kid is the most photographed kid on the planet and you will not be surprised to see the following photos of sweet Paxton, friends and family at his Birthday Hoe Down. A HUGE thank you to the Dobbs family for being some of my biggest fans and always thinking to include me in their fun parties!!

Derek & Mackenzie

A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Mackenzie & Derek's wedding in Charleston SC. It was a gorgeous weekend! The Blue Angels flew over Charleston Marina while Mackenzie was getting her makeup done. It was awesome. These two are such a beautiful couple and you can really tell that they have close family & friends that truly care about them. A special thank you to one of my biggest fans, Amy, for referring me to Mackenzie last year and a huge thank you to Mackenzie and Derek for including me in their special day. It was a perfect start to the busiest time of year for me & Split Second Photography!
I hope you all enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!
