I had loads of fun taking these boys portraits as you can well imagine!  These little boys looked so cute.  Their ages are 2-4.  Their mommy’s had them all rubbed down with sunscreen and they were already to jump in the pool.  So before all that craziness took place, we got the little boys seated for a couple of shots.  Did I mention these are VERY busy boys?

Now, I realized I had only seconds to get the shots.  But I came up with a boys portrait idea that I love.  I had the moms sit the boys on the steps (with bribery of course).  Then I had the moms stand behind me and make funny faces at the little boys.  The result was hilarious!  I only wish I had thought of setting up another camera behind the moms!  So if you are looking for some good boys portrait ideas, this one worked well!

I love the expressions AND the outfits.  I hope you enjoy viewing these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!  Let’s hear it for the boys!  If you have any boys portrait ideas you would like to share with me, please email.  I love trying new ideas!

What fun we had at The Children’s Garden in Columbia, SC.  These two little guys had a ball running around, exploring and playing.  It was a beautiful day and the temperature was in the 70′s.  I followed them all over the garden.  What great memories to have of your children, being themselves!

The day was cloudy so that was great.  The few sprinkles we had just sent us under the shelter for the “three bears.”   The sprinkle passed quickly and we continued our portrait session.

If you have never visited  The Children’s Garden in Columbia, SC, it is a great place for kids to play and explore.  It is located at Clemson Extension Center. Just turn in like you are going to the Farmer’s Market and follow the signs for The Children’s Garden.

I love this as you can probably tell:)  Please email me for more information about a special session with your children!

Baby Portraits

I had the best time taking these baby portraits of four month old little Mallarie and her mommy and daddy.  Mallarie was tired at the end of the session and just fell asleep, but we kept on shooting and got some really wonderful photos.  I set up my home studio for these and used a new backdrop I have been wanting to use.  Mallarie was so good for the whole session.  Baby portraits require patience, so we would stop every few minutes and mommy and daddy would walk her around a bit to distract her.  Finally she fell asleep, but even those portraits came out beautifully.

They were also so nicely color coordinated.  This made the faces stand out beautifully.  No distracting lines or patterns in the clothing.  This is important to consider when scheduling a family photo session.  My Pinterest page has a board full of ideas on family portraiture and another on what to wear to a family photo session.  Please visit for some great ideas!

There is also a board with videos that share various photos sessions.  You can get a good idea of what to expect at YOUR photo session.  Having a photographer that makes you and your family feel comfortable is also very important.  Try to meet in person and speak to the photographer ahead of time letting them know what you are wanting in the way of portraits and getting their feedback and suggestions.

 I do love taking baby portraits, capturing those precious moments that fly by so fast!  Get in touch to schedule your little one’s session soon!

Hope you enjoy these!
