Since it is all glum and overcast outside today, this sunny Kiawah Island beach session is just the remedy to brighten things up. The Moore family came back to visit the place where “Mommy and Daddy” first became Mr. & Mrs. Moore. We went back to the Sanctuary grounds for some pictures, sitting on the lawn right where their ceremony was held. And the kids got their first “toes in the sand” experience on the beach just behind the Ocean Course clubhouse. What the family wanted most were some classic black and white shots that could grace their walls and some fun candids of the kids playing. ...

This sweet family lives in Beaufort, but our ties run deep. Peyton’s grandmother Gretchen became a good friend of mine years back when we worked together on her daughter’s wedding. Gretchen is a design maven here in Charleston, so I am hugely flattered anytime she calls on me. This time her call was to bestow my services as a gift to her son’s family. Peyton is the first grandchild in the family and loved like the angel she resembles. We chose to shoot downtown to take advantage of the Charleston scenery and revisit a few places special to Peyton’s parents. After chasing Peyton through the park and around several trees, she quite beautifully collapsed on her favorite blanket. Then she rolled over and gave me these “older than her years” poses that made her daddy blush. This precious child LOVED to smell flowers. And like most children, her curiosity for all things new overcame her desire to pose for the camera. But these sweet and playful photos are exactly why I love to photograph children. Yes, she was waving at the tourists walking by….how adorable! This is where Adam and Amy stopped to show Peyton where they were married. :...

Working with Liam made me yearn for another baby to hold and snuggle, so it’s good that I can photograph them to get my fix. Annie, whose maternity session was featured a short while back, told me that her brand new baby loved to sleep the mornings away. He was just 11 days old when we met up, but I think he must have liked me. He wouldn’t shut his eyes for anything. We came back and tried it again the following morning with more success. You’ll see Annie’s super duper trick for keeping a newborn warm and happy on a frigid winter morning. I am definitely stealing this idea for future use on cold days! Big brother might have been a little excited, too….he jumped in front of the camera between snacks and playing behind the camera with me. Annie is demonstrating her amazing skills...
