5 Year Anniversary Pictures!

January 11, 2009/in family portraits/by admin

Kaitlin and Robert got married 5 years ago on January 3rd, 2004 at Summerall Chapel. Their wedding was one of the first weddings I shot after taking over the Studio from my dad, and their album was the first flushmount storybook ablum that we produced by special request for Kaitlin. That storybook was the forerunner for our entire present album product line. So Kaitlin and Robert are a big deal for us around here (I still have a picture of her haning in the studio!).

Robert is finally back from serving our country in the Middle East, and they came to downtown Charleston to stay at the French Quarter Inn, where they stayed their honeymoon night.

AND THEY BROUGHT COLLIN, their 10 month-old little boy.

So of course we did a family portrait shoot right there at the Inn. It was great to see them again, especially on such a special day. Here are a few of the shots:

French Quarter Inn Family Portraits

Baby Grace’s 7 month downtown shoot.

We did quite a few shoots downtown over the holidays, so I thought I’d post some previews from a few of them. This one is baby Grace who is getting regular portraits for her first year. We went downtown to Waterfront park for this shoot. Did very well and is getting to that age where she has a lot of great expressions. Happy New Year, Grace!

When the light is right, this is a great spot for a real Charlestonstonian picture.

Baby Sophia’s portraits, downtown and in the studio!

First of all – you know how much I love babies!!!! (<–four exclamation marks’ worth, apparently)

It’s such a blessing to have the opportunity to continue a relationship with my once brides-and-grooms who are now parents by taking photos of their children! I shot Laurie & Mark’s wedding at Middleton Plantation back in June of 2007, and now they have precious baby Sophia who is now 7 months old!

We started at Waterfront Park, in downtown Charleston’s historic district and then we went back to the studio for a few more photos of Sophia in her Christmas outfit!

The Grinnell Family!

Sophia loved playing in the leaves!

She is so expressive! Happy girl…

(And she LOVES smiling for her Daddy!)

I sneaked in one of me and Sophia. 🙂

And then….we headed back up to North Charleston our studio session!

Doesn’t she look like a Baby Gap ad in this pic?

(Trust me, this shot wasn’t easy b/c she only cried for these 2 seconds the whole shoot so I had to be quick!)
