This is really going to make you realize just exactly how quickly children change, and in such a short period of time. THIS was 4 short years ago:

And this was two weeks ago -

The boys are growing into young men, taller than Dad, and it feels like the blink of an eye. Don’t wait – photograph your kids and your family now! I promise you it will be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.

This family, friends of ours for years, has never had a family picture done. Never. Until now. Their son is a senior, and Mom definitely wanted to have him photographed – and after intending to (but never quite getting there) having a family session, decided that it was time to make this a priority. I am so glad they did! I love every. single. image.

OK, last call for anyone in PA who wants a session before the holidays – I will be there November 10, 11, & 12 and have a few spots left. And that will be it until late spring. Call or email me asap!

I absolutely love doing sessions for this family and watching them all grow and change. This fall they added a new baby girl, and now their joy is complete. This is one VERY busy Mom, and I’m continually amazed at how calm, cool, and collected she is. Love that they get what is so important – documenting this time in their lives no matter how busy and chaotic it can be getting everyone ready for a session. It’s so easy to be overwhelmed with meeting everyone’s needs, and hard to appreciate all of the little moments. Life is busy for young families, and having these images to look back on and remember the sweetness as well as the sleeplessness will be so priceless! I’m a little sad that this will be the last newborn session that I do for them.

The leaves were perfect, the weather was perfect, and this little girl was perfect – and this is the result!

Some of my favorite images from Chris and Nyletta’s wedding at the Gassaway Mansion in Greenville:

Their youngest daughter now in college, Sharon and Mike were free to get away to Hilton Head for a week in September and enjoy some “us” time – including this photo session! I think more people should do a session just like this, celebrating a major life change from fulltime parents to rediscovering yourselves as a couple and celebrating all of the free time you now have!
