C E L E B R A T E sisterhood | Twin Photo Shoot | Charleston SC Family Portrait Photographer

 

Erica’s family seems to be the subject a lot! j. But, amongst our brainstorming, we thought it would be neat to have a ‘Twin’ Photo session. And with that idea, came her and her sister, Jessica. Now, you might have heard us talking a lot about Jessica in our blog / facebook page / etc. . .  because she has been the ‘subject’ more than once as well! Her recent ones from the summer of 2011 were our fun Fashion Photo session and then the most recent, Halloween’s ‘Come Play with us’ Session. Weren’t those fun! Sigh. I wish we had more people to do sessions like these!

 

Photo Sessions don’t have to be just for couples / weddings / maternity / babies / families — they can be for so much more than that! And in our CELEBRATE Series, we hope you see that Photo Sessions can be for Anything! So far, our two CELEBRATE Series have been on Friendship + Sisterhood. We have a new session CELEBRATE Series coming up . . . stay tuned!  Because there is so much to CELEBREAT in life. Smile.

the billingsley’s family hollyday | Charleston, SC Family Potrait Photographer

 

Tomme Hilton Gallery introduces the Billingsley Family to our Gallery.  Meet Erica’s husband, Matt, and her kiddo, Houston.

 

Erica and I always brainstorm ideas . . . about what to do on our next shoot. OR something new to add to our ‘props’. OR how to ‘spice’ up a session . . . etc. This time, we decided to use one of our ideas on HER and her family  — the TENT.  One Saturday morning a couple weeks ago, I got up early and spent SIX — yes, 6 — Hours building this tent. And afterwards, I must say . . . it was AWESOME! Did you see the pictures? Tell me it wasn’t a pretty darn good tent! I would like one of those made out of ‘sticks’ and stuff . . . so, if you know anyone who makes them / sells them cheap / would donate one, Please let me know! I am always wanting to find new things and explore ideas!

 

Enough on my props . . . because, afterall . . . the props weren’t the only ‘cool’ thing about this photo session. It was the subjects. The Billingsley’s. Erica is, of course, not only my assistant, but my first ‘complete’ family to my / our Gallery. I am sure you have followed ‘her’ life and watched her family grow . . . but for those of you who haven’t . . . let me recap. I have photographed Erica and Matt for their Engagement, her Bridals, their Wedding day, their Maternity, their first child, her Boudoirs, her ENTIRE family and now . . . her immediate Family:  The Billingsley’s.

 

Tell me that isn’t awesome? To see a couple like that grow? And build? And develop into a family of their own? WOW. It excites me when I have brides who let us capture their lives each step of the way.  I have a couple more brides who aren’t too far behind Erica . . . and I can’t wait to keep capturing their lives as well!

Lilly Bug | Family Portrait Photographer | Charleston and Columbia, SC

Lilly is one of our first Gallery babies that have grown with us. From Newborn to her One-Year party and now to her Family Christmas card . . . We ‘re-introduce’ you to Lilly bug!

 

Lilly is one of THE cutest and I mean, CUTEST little girls I have photographed. Sigh. During her shoot, I had to show her off to my ENTIRE family. First to my mom, then to my Grandma and then to my sister, Jess, and then to a friend . . . and lastly, my husband, Matt. Snicker. Yea . . . I showed her off BECAUSE she is 19 months and can speak in full sentences! — Okay, my child is our ‘mute midget’ as I call him. He never speaks. So for me to hear a child speaking at this volume . . . I was just in ‘awe’. — Not only did she speak well, she listened! Do you know how many kids we get that listen? Maybe a handful!! And for Lilly to be — yes again, 19 Months — and using her manners, saying “Yes, ma’am.” and “Please” and “Cheese” . . . I was in Heaven!

 

Not to mention, her outfits were just to die for. Maybe I am having ‘little girl withdrawal’ because we don’t normally have many little girls . . . and here lately, we’ve had a few — but I just loved her shirts / dresses / jeans / boots / hats / jammies / bows . . . okay, all of it. Ha.

 

Anyways, take a look at her photos from her Christmas Session . . . Christmas Cards will be posted after the holiday season!

Dunbar / Brown Families | Family Portrait Photographer

Tomme Hilton Gallery wants to introduce the Dunbar and Brown Families to our Gallery. The girls are sisters and wanted a photo session for their parents as their Christmas Gift! Nikki and I have been talking over the last 6 months trying to get a Session scheduled for her family. However, as most large families . . . scheduling became quite the issue! Thanks to her, she still didn’t give up! Instead she altered the photo shoot from the entire family, to the ‘Dunbar kids’.

 

Take a look at their session!

Madelyn | 7 Months | Family Portrait Photographer

Today we introduce Madelyn to our Gallery. Yesterday we posted about her brothers and cousins with the Pinner Grandkids . . . and today is all about baby M.

 

Madelyn’s mom and I tried several times to get a good date together . . . but, it kept changing. Then finally, we had a day! However . . . Madelyn didn’t like that day! She didn’t want to participate in our photoshoot. So, another reschedule! Luckily, Madelyn’s mom passed my name to her in-laws and we were able to schedule everyone and everything on ONE day! Whew. It was a long morning. But a fun morning!

 

And I must say, Madelyn’s grandma (Lulu) has the best house! All these props were at her home! Can you believe that!! This is the kind of home I need!! FULL of props. My sister and I had the time of our lives setting up each set! Grabbing things from here, grabbing from there. I wanted to walk out of her home with it all. Just killer!

 

Check out baby Madelyn’s 7 Month photos and let us know what you think of all the props.
