2013I am so grateful I was able to photograph this Greenville SC Baby Photography session.
Samuel is a little boy well loved and in a home of grace that his heavenly Father prepared for him. This little boy was a positive delight, full of smiles laughter and wonder. And oh how his parents love and delight in him.
Best of all, I was able to help them announce their next adoption! If you would like to help this family bring home another child or two, please consider donating $15 dollars; for every donation they receive, they’ll make a dress for another orphan. I really think this is a super exciting way to raise money for an adoption.
Samuel is from Ethiopia and their next adoption will take place in Uganda.

2013Angela contacted me about a session in her home a few months ago. It’s the type of thing that makes my heart jump for joy because I love more than anything capturing everyday beautiful mess. The mundane all mingled with the holy and recorded for the remembering.
Little Chloe was the heartbeat of this family. So many times we all just sat and laughed at her antics, our cheeks aching and our hearts bursting with the intensity of joy.
At the time of our session, Chloe had been in her forever home for just over 4 months.
When I asked Angela the story she wanted this session to tell she said this:
“I want it to speak of the joy of being adopted into God’s family. How being called His own is the best gift.”
And little Chloe’s antics told this story with clarity.

2011My baby boy Sedryn will be 8 weeks old on Wednesday and I’m finally starting to come out of my new baby fog. (I still need to finish editing his newborn sessions… soon… I promise!)
As I was browsing Facebook and saw one of my photos used as my dear friend Julia’s profile picture, I realized that I never blogged her impromptu session.
Julia and I met via our personal blogs. My twin girls are almost 6 months older than hers and we bonded over sleep issues and a commitment to raising our girls to love Jesus. Pretty soon we started doing a book/bible study together (we really need to finish it, Julia! When Sedryn sleeps through the night and I can manage to read again…) and next thing you know we’re exploring true beauty together.
Julia is definitely one of my best friends 🙂
Her quirky, hysterical, and squishy (it had to be said!) husband Brad planned a surprise trip for Julia to come visit us here. It was a perfect week of hugging my dear friend and watching our girls chase each other around.
And refuse to sit still for one decent photo!
Julia’s family is so beautiful and the setting for this impromptu session couldn’t have been more perfect.
Hadley is such an intense little girl. She reminds me of her momma: very focused and generally super content. I just loved watching her explore.
Brynne is a lot like my Bronwyn. They both enjoy order and routine to an extreme. She looks just like her daddy and their bond is just so beautiful.
Brynne is pretty famous for her open-mouthed kisses and Hadley just loves to show affection with kisses. I was so excited to capture one of these special kisses.
It’s no wonder Brynne and Hadley love kisses so much: Brad and Julia must model kisses for them daily.
Doesn’t this image just make you want to be swept off your feet? Sigh…
Brad, Julia, Brynne, and Hadley, I love sharing life with you. You’re one of the graces I count daily.
