Family: The Paynters. Litchfield Beach, SC

2010-07-18T18:09:00.000-07:00

Two wonderful parents and two precious twin redheads...what could be better than that. I had the best time with the family you are about to meet. Bright and early we made our way to the quiet beach and then a unique trademark location in Litchfield.

The girls were so much fun as they played in the waves and talked to me about toys and babies. True heart breakers!

Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with the Paynter family...

Family: The Gibsons and the growing ladybug. Litchfield Beach, SC

2010-07-17T16:49:00.000-07:00

Not only did I have a wonderful time this past week enjoying a family vacation, but I had the opportunity to "work" during my leisure. Some would say that "working" on vacation is an oxymoron but in my case, the work I do brings me pure joy and hardly feels like work at all.

I was so excited to capture the Gibson family yet again. I have been documenting their youngest (Cayden) since she was just a week old and it just so happened that beach week lined up perfectly with Caydens 6 month birthday. I LOVE spending time with this precious bunch and had the best time playing at the beach with them.

Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with the Gibson family and the growing Ladybug...

Family: The Harpers Et Al. Cherry Grove, SC

2010-07-17T16:42:00.000-07:00

Prepare to see the longest "teaser" of all time. It was so hard narrowing down my favorites from this three-shoots-in-one day with the Harper family and all others so I just decided to post lots.

I have had the privilege of shooting the Harper family on several occasions and was so excited when Jodi contacted me wanting to take part in my "beach week" sessions for her ENTIRE family.

What a fun bunch of people. I truly enjoyed every minute.

Enjoy LOTS of my favorites from my time with the Harpers and gang...

Wee Babe: Cullen THE MOVIE

2010-07-07T13:30:00.001-07:00

Wee Babe: Cullen. Pomaria, SC.

2010-07-07T13:28:00.000-07:00

I have known Kristen since middle school and I was so excited when she contacted me wanting to do a newborn shoot. Not only was I excited to love on a brand new (two week old) babe, but to see my friend after all this time was the icing on the cake.

Sweet little Cullen was the most alert newborn I have ever been around. With the exception of 30 seconds (where I was able to grab a few shots) this little man was WIDE AWAKE for the entire shoot. What a trooper he was as I flip flopped him every which way. He is precious precious precious!

I had the best time with this precious family and enjoyed every minute of it.

Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with Cullen and his mommy and daddy...

Maternity: Patrick & Fallon. Greenville, SC

2010-07-07T13:23:00.000-07:00

I cannot begin to express how much I love the two people you are about to meet. They have been longtime friends and truly two of the most wonderful people you will ever meet.

I had the privilege of being in their wedding two years ago and to again be part of another monumental moment in their lives is such an honor.

Patrick is a true gentle giant with a heart of pure gold. He LOVES his wife and it shows. Fallon is a beautiful ball of energy that makes anyone around her happy just by being in her presence. Patrick is her rock!

There is so much love that radiates from Patrick and Fallon and they cannot wait to meet their new little "booger!" What wonderful parents they will be!

I am SO SO SO excited for the two of you and cannot wait to see that sweet baby through my lens again in just a few short months.

Let me officially make my prediction statement....ITS A BOY!

Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with the parents-to-be...

Maternity: Patrick & Fallon THE MOVIE

2010-07-06T06:19:00.001-07:00

My official post will come soon but I couldnt help but share the movie version! Enjoy!

Wee Babe: Logan, the MOVIE

2010-06-22T11:31:00.000-07:00

All of my newborns receive a slideshow as part of their package. Take a peek at Logan, The Movie!

Wee Babe: Logan. Columbia, SC

2010-06-21T10:52:00.000-07:00

Its official...photographing newborns has got to be the best job around. I LOVE IT!

Logan was born on June 10th and at just one week and two days old I have the privilege of photographing the little man and his precious family.

Logan was super sleepy which made my job easy and I managed to walk away without being peed on. I think Logan likes me:)

Enjoy some of my favorites from the new man in town, Logan...

My kid does it too...

2010-06-17T20:01:00.001-07:00

If you ever wondered if a photographers kid acts up during photo shoots I have the answer to your question...

ABSOLUTELY!

Kiddos: Princess Lilly. Rock Hill, SC

2010-06-15T06:47:00.000-07:00

Lilly is turning three next week and her mom wanted a fun photo shoot to capture the birthday girl.

Lilly is fun, vivacious, creative and has a great imagination. The whole shoot we pretended to be in a fairytale land with princesses and fairy's all around us. Little did we know that a "real" princess (a bride on a bridal shoot with another photographer shooting at the same location) would grace us with her presence. After all the talk of princesses, I think Lilly about jumped out of her skin when she started walking towards us. It was priceless!

Lilly has the best facial expressions and sweet personality. I took a little bit of a different approach to Lilly's shoot at the beginning, capturing more of a "portrait" style to give mom and dad lots of great facial shots. I ended the shoot in my usual style of just watching the family having fun and snapping away in the process.

Here are some of my favorites from my time with the precious Princess Lilly...

Pho"dog"raphy: Leo. Fort Mill, SC

2010-06-14T06:53:00.000-07:00

Leo is a beautiful four year old yellow lab that Meg and Jim rescued a little over three years ago. This precious dog came from an abused home and was just days from being put to sleep when in came Jim and Meg to save the day. It only takes being with this family for a minute to realize how much love Jim and Meg have for Leo. He is their baby!

Being an animal lover myself (and also having a canine baby) I was so excited when Meg contacted me wanting to set up a pho"dog"raphy shoot for Leo. He is such a happy dog and LOVES his mommy and daddy.
I had the BEST time playing with this sweet guy.... PRECIOUS PRECIOUS PRECIOUS!

Enjoy some of my favorites from Leo's pho"dog"raphy shoot...

Just For Fun: William and Kristin. Pine Island, SC

2010-06-10T09:22:00.000-07:00

I have known Kristin since middle school but we haven't seen each other since high school. I was so excited when she contacted me wanting a "Just For Fun" shoot to honor her and Williams first anniversary. They want to make it a tradition of having pictures taken every year on their anniversary. What a GREAT idea!

So a little background...

William and Kristin met in college before William transferred to Annapolis. They dated long distance for several years and married last year in June. They are anticipating another move in the winter so William can begin his flight school training where he will become a pilot in the US Navy.

Kristin absolutely LOVES William. You can see her eyes sparkle when she looks at him. We talked about life as a military wife and she could not be more proud to be one.

William is an absolute gentleman and is so sweet and gentle with Kristin. You can tell that he treasures her and honors her as his wife.

I had the best time shooting these two in the same location they were married. We had to deal with blasting heat and blazing winds which definitely stretched my creativity. Nevertheless, I LOVE how everything turned out and it helped that I was dealing with two of the most easy going people you will ever meet.

Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with William and Kristin...

Kiddos: Parker. Greenville, SC

2010-06-07T09:53:00.000-07:00

Amanda was so excited to have updated pictures taken of Parker. This little man is 8 1/2 months and a bundle of sweetness. Would you believe me if I told you that his eyes really are THAT blue? True story. It was like they were built for photography. Dreamy really!

I had so much fun with this little man. He didn't get upset once, was all smiles and a real trooper as we hopped from location to location. Once we were finished he pooped out in his stroller. It was precious.

Here are some of my favorites from my day with Parker (and his sweet mommy and daddy!)

Family: The Frees. Greenville, SC

2010-06-07T09:43:00.000-07:00

You know those people that cross your path and you feel like you have known them forever? Well, the Frees family just so happen to be some of those people. I had the BEST time photographing their precious family. We had so much fun and their sweet boys brought great sunshine to my day. They are real heart breakers!

Enjoy some of my favorites of my new friends, the Frees family...

We Eloped: Holly and Matt. Fort Mill, SC

2010-06-01T13:00:00.000-07:00

I was so excited when Holly contacted me wanting an elopement session following their intimate ceremony. There is just something about elopement sessions that get me all excited. They literally got married, made their way to me for the shoot and left afterward on their way to the airport for the honeymoon.

Typically, my brides and grooms have family and friends bustling about but in this case, it was just the three of us. It was so much fun being with a newly married couple in an intimate setting and being part of their first few hours as husband and wife. You truly get to experience that new, raw, powerful emotion that binds couples in marriage with little to no distractions about.

Matt and Holly are so in love and oozed with happiness. I had the BEST time photographing them.

Enjoy some of my favorites from the day that Holly and Matt said "I do."

Event: Giada turns 1. Rock Hill, SC

2010-05-31T18:08:00.000-07:00

So these types of events are rare for me but I do offer them on occasion. Turning down faces covered with icing and the squeals of little ones is tough for me to do. I guess its the mommy in me!

I was so excited to be part of Giada's first birthday, capturing this monumental day for her and her family. With horrible thunderstorms plaguing the area, the plans for an outdoor soiree had to be modified a bit. We made our way to the garage which ended up being the perfect setting for this precious butterfly themed party. Wouldn't you know that the sky cleared and sunshine appeared right as guests arrived. Perfect timing!

I just love being a fly on the wall for events like these. Taking it all in....watching the people...listening to the kids conversations...being with families....it truly doesnt get any better. It wasnt hard to see that this little girl is "everything" to her parents and brings so much joy to so many people.

Enjoy a sneak peek at the day that Giada turned one!

Senior Model: Emily. Fort Mill, SC

2010-05-29T19:24:00.000-07:00

I have had the privilege of being around this amazing young woman several times. She just radiates FUN! With a pure heart for Jesus Christ, a contagious laugh, a sneaky little grin and total sass to boot....she truly is a gem!

Moving to a new town your junior year of high school can be a difficult challenge (I can SO relate to this). Emily has faced this past year with such grace and was recently named her high schools new assistant drum major. WOOOHOO for band nerds (I was one so I can say that)! God has truly blessed her steadfast faith and she is leaving her mark here in the south that's for sure.

I had the best time shooting Emily's senior model shoot. I think we could have shot for five more hours:)

Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with precious Emily...

Kiddos: Asher One Month. Mooresville, NC

2010-05-27T19:11:00.000-07:00

So this post is going to be somewhat quick. After a weekend of shoots, a wedding shot out of town and a total of ten hours in the car between it all...I can hear my pillow calling:) Before I turn in, I just couldn't help but post a few of my favorites from my time with precious Asher.

If you remember, I shot Asher while he was still in his mommy's tummy and had the privilege of spending camera time with this little man when he was just a few days old. As part of the "My First Year" package, I will be spending lots of time with this sweet little guy documenting him throughout the year.

Here are some of my favorites from my time with one month old Asher...

Just For Fun: Sarah, Andrew and Maddie. Fort Mill, SC

2010-05-27T19:03:00.000-07:00

Sarah really wanted a shoot with her boyfriend Andrew and their precious dog Maddie. Since I offer pho"dog"raphy shoots and I am a HUGE animal lover, I was all over this "just for fun" session!

Sarah and Andrew are lots of fun. They are so easy going and made me giggle with all the laughter. Maddie is a gorgeous dog and was a real trooper in the high heat. Bless her heart!

With storm clouds rolling in, we enjoyed some thunder in the distance during our shoot. About ten minutes after we left, the clouds opened up and it poured the rest of the day. Perfect timing!

Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with Sarah, Andrew and Maddie!

THE MOVIE: Will and Lisa

2010-05-18T14:30:00.001-07:00

Technical Difficulties...

2010-05-17T18:39:00.000-07:00

No, you are not seeing things. For some reason the server is causing some of my photos to scramble at the bottom when they are posted to the blog. I am working to fix this.

Trust me, it drives me more crazy than it does you!

Engaged: Lisa and Will. Fort Mill, SC

2010-05-17T18:37:00.000-07:00

I just LOVE engagement shoots. Not only because it is so much fun to be around a couple in love but also because it gives me a chance to really get to know my bride and groom.

Lisa is sweet and easy going. Her eyes draw you in and I can see why Will thinks she hung the moon. She is pretty wonderful! Will is fun and all the gentleman. He is so precious with Lisa and you can tell he really treasures her.

I had the best time with the two of them and I cannot wait to shoot their big day in November. Will promises me that a burnt orange vintage car is in the works. I think I may have jumped up and down when he told me this!

Here are some of my favorites from our time together. Enjoy!

Family: The Burris's, Rock Hill, SC

2010-05-15T19:35:00.000-07:00

I knew I was in for a good time when I arrived to meet the Burris family and everyone was all smiles. Boy did they make my job easy. What a great looking family!

Jodi wanted updated pictures of herself and her boys and I was totally up for the task. I had the best time capturing all the naturally sweet moments between the three of them.

Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with Jodi and her boys...

Family: The Petri's, Fort Mill, SC

2010-05-15T19:23:00.000-07:00

I was so excited to shoot this fun family. Jenna and I used to work together and shared something very special in common during that time; pregnancy. With our little ones six month apart, I was near the end of my last trimester when she was beginning her first.

Our session was the first time I had met little Livy and boy what a sweet baby girl. She was all smiles (for the most part) and made my job a breeze.

In addition to meeting Olivia, Jenna's parents were in town from out of state and were able to be part of the shoot too. What a great couple. They just celebrated another wedding anniversary and I was able to capture some precious moments between the two of them.

Here are some of my favorites from my time with the Petri family, three chihuahua family members and all...

Gift: Honoring Wendy, Fort Mill, SC

2010-05-15T19:13:00.000-07:00

Wendy has been wanting pictures of her growing family for sometime now. We had a shoot scheduled for the fall, but the coordinating of three daughters, their spouses and all the grand-girls...it made for a challenge.

Luckily, everything aligned and Wendy's daughters decided to gift her with a family shoot for Mother's Day...schedules coordinated and all.

It is always fun working with large groups because you can really observe family dynamics and actually "be" part of it all. I had the best time with this fun bunch.

In a family dominated by females, you can tell that the men of the family (all three of them) really treasure all of the women in their lives.

So in honor of all mommies but especially Wendy, here a a few of my favorites from our time together...

Event: Prom 2010, Fort Mill, SC

2010-05-04T06:55:00.000-07:00

It is rare that I actually photograph events besides weddings, but boy when I do...it really is a treat. I was so excited when I was contacted to be part of seven great kids first prom experience. The parents wanted timeless images that captured this special time in their kids lives. Plus, it allowed the adults to really enjoy the evening and not have to run all over snapping pictures. We have all been in that situation, right?

When I arrived to photograph the evening it was like taking a ride back to "good times when." I felt like I was going to prom or something. Hee hee! The parents had a great idea to have a picture session with a small reception before the kids made their way to dinner. So smart! I think I will steal this idea when my, now 18 month old, makes his prom debut in sixteen years.

These kids made my night with their enthusiasm and energy. They were a blast to be around and I was so excited for them. What fun!

Enjoy Prom 2010 through my lens...

Family: The Rajalas, Fort Mill, SC

2010-05-04T06:18:00.000-07:00

Erin and Matt were so excited to have family pictures that included the love of their lives "Jack Jack." This family made my job SO easy. They are fun loving, up for anything and their joy for life truly reflected in my lens. I had the best time playing in the creek with the Rajalas. Check out a few of my favorites...

Wee Babe: Asher, Mooresville, NC

2010-04-29T16:13:00.000-07:00

So here we go with the pictures I promised from baby Ashers shoot. Be sure to checkout his slideshow on the previous post!

Wee Babe the Movie: Asher

2010-04-29T13:48:00.000-07:00

A formal post with pictures is coming soon but I couldn't resist sharing this. As part of my newborn packages, families receive a slideshow. This one melts my heart if I do say so myself!

Ahem.....

You may remember that I photographed Billie's maternity pictures just eleven days ago. At her maternity shoot she said that she had a gut feeling that she would go into labor that evening. Well right on the money she did. No less than 24 hours following our shoot precious Asher was born.

I was so excited to meet this little guy and see Billie and Ernie again. I walked into their beautiful house and truly felt at home. In fact, I am pretty sure I kicked my shoes off in pure delight. Billie and Ernie have established a home full of love, rich in their Jewish faith and oozing with hospitality. It was such a treat to be part of their day.

I had an absolute blast cuddling this precious guy and snapping away at his adorable little face. Billie and Ernie have a heart breaker on their hands!

Lots of love to you Billie, Ernie and Asher! Cannot wait to see you again soon.

***Special thank to you too Jodi. What a lifesaver you are:)

Family: The Gaineys, Rock Hill, SC

2010-04-29T11:31:00.000-07:00

Shelia was so excited for updated pictures of her family. She said it had been five years since the family was photographed and we ALL know how much changes in five years.

I had the best time with this family. They are loads of fun and kept me in stitches with all the joking around. You can tell there is lots of laughter in the Gainey household. With the addition of their precious bulldog Porterhouse, I was in pure heaven.

Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with the Gainey family in Rock Hill...

Family: The Jacksons, Rock Hill, SC

2010-04-26T12:46:00.000-07:00

April showers are in full force here in the southland which provides some risky decision making when it comes to photo-shoots. Luckily, after a night full of rain and a morning of drizzle...the weather tapered off just in time for the Jackson family. Erin has been so excited to have family pictures made and I was totally game for spending the morning with this fun bunch rain or shine!

Parker and Conner were real troopers and loved the part where they were able to be by "trains." I dont think Brandon (the dad) minded either.

Here are some of my favorites from my time with the Jackson family...

Gift: Charlie, McRae and Wilson, Rock Hill, SC

2010-04-22T06:49:00.000-07:00

I just love it when clients contact me wanting to set up a session as a gift for someone else. I feel like I am in on a huge secret or something.

When Molly contacted me wanting a shoot with her daughter and nephews to give to her mom for Mothers Day, I was all over it! I had shot Molly's family in the past and LOVED working with them. Its so fun to work with the same people over and over and watch their children grow.

We couldn't have asked for more beauty in the perfect weather and blooming blossoms at Glencairn Gardens. It truly was like walking in a wonderland.

So here's to a happy Mothers Day with a few of my favorites but shhhhh dont tell- its still a secret!

Family: The Millers, Fort Mill, SC

2010-04-21T12:08:00.000-07:00

There is nothing like little boys. I think because I am a mommy of one, I am drawn to them. I had SO much fun on this shoot. Ed and Tara are so easy going and there two little men and just balls of fun and energy. It was like being home!

We laughed alot, goofed a lot and had a wonderful time just capturing the day authentically. It was a blast!

Enjoy some of my favorites from my time with the Miller family in Fort Mill!

Family: The Lemmonds, Fort Mill, SC

2010-04-21T07:14:00.000-07:00

Chris contacted me during the holidays last year wanting to purchase a session gift certificate for his wife Nicole. It was part of her Christmas present (what a good hubby)! I was so excited when spring rolled around and it came time to actually shoot this awesome family.

Chris and Nicole have their hands beautifully full with their four kids. There is a lot of love in this family and a lot of fun too! I had the best time hanging with them for the day.

Here are some of my favorites from our time together in Fort Mill...

Maternity: Billie and Ernie, Rock Hill, SC

2010-04-20T05:38:00.000-07:00

Billie is due any day now and she desperately wanted some pictures of her full belly before the baby makes its debut. After talking with Billie, I was so excited to meet her. Little did I know that her other half Ernie would steal my heart as well. These two made my job so easy with their laid-back personalities and sweet demeanor.

We walked really slow, didn't make any sudden movements and enjoyed taking great pictures while talking about the joys of parenthood.

I cannot wait to see Billie and Ernie again when I photograph their precious little one at one week. So exciting!

Here are some of my favorites from our time together in Rock Hill...

Family: The "R's", Columbia, SC

2010-04-19T08:05:00.000-07:00

I have been looking forward to this shoot for a long time. I have know Mary Beth since I was little and truly- you can not find a more precious, sincere, and kind person as her. I was so excited to meet her other half and their new addition. I had an absolute blast with this family as we paraded the Riverwalk in Columbia.

Here are some of my favorites from our time together...

Gregg and Kelli: The Movie

2010-04-15T11:38:00.001-07:00

Happily Ever After: Gregg and Kelli, Lexington, SC

2010-04-13T13:21:00.000-07:00

Gregg and Kelli were married at the beautiful 403 Cafe in Lexington, SC. In a small, intimate setting with the gathering of close friends and family it was a precious evening. Alex (Kelli's five year old son) was so excited to walk his mommy down the isle and in the end gain a wonderful step-dad. I think he was as excited about the event as Kelli and Gregg were.

The weather was perfect, the flowers were in full bloom, the night went flawlessly and it was a wonderful start to a new life together.

Enjoy some of my favorites from the night that Gregg and Kelli said 'I do."

Sneak Peek + Kelli and Greg

Mark & Nina: The Movie

2010-04-06T18:15:00.001-07:00

Family: The Chandlers, Greer, SC

2010-04-05T18:33:00.000-07:00

I was so excited to meet this precious family. Kristen and Brent are such a fun couple and their little ones Ali (3) and Reese (2) are heart-breakers.

Decked out in their new Easter dresses, Ali and Reese stole the show. I had so much fun chasing them around.

Here are some of my favorites from our time together...

Engaged: Nina and Mark, NoDa, NC

2010-04-05T13:19:00.000-07:00

When I first met Nina it was like meeting a kindred spirit. We hit it off right away and had so many things in common. It has been a blast getting to know her through the wedding planning process and I cannot wait to shoot the big day in September.

Nina is full of life and laughter (as you will see in a minute). She is very warm and bubbly and is up for anything. Mark is calm and easy going. He sets Nina's pace and no doubt will be a great leader to their new family. Their relationship has been long distance-Nina in Charlotte and Mark in Chicago (oh I SOOO can relate). Mark flew in the morning of our shoot and it was great being part of their "reunion" time together.

We had so much fun parading the streets of NoDa. I could hardly contain the amount of images I am about to share with you. Take a peek at our time together...

Oh how I loved this purple wall and Nina's bright yellow shoes!

Can we say "hello Anthropologie"....

This old fire station stole my heart.....I LOVE LOVE LOVE these

She makes him laugh oh yes she does...

An old suitcase. Does it get any better?

I love these of Nina...stunning...

Family: The Gibsons, Greer, SC

2010-04-05T13:09:00.000-07:00

I have been photographing baby Cayden since she was just a week old and I was so excited for her three month shoot.

Three months brings lots of changes and with the great weather- Tonya (the mommy) decided to take the whole gang along for some family fun too.

It was quite chilly the morning of our shoot but baby Cayden and big brother Cohen were real troopers.

Here are some of my favorites from our time together in Greer, South Carolina...

Sneak Peek...

Happily Ever After: Jason and Jennifer, Columbia, SC

2010-04-02T17:02:00.000-07:00

I was so excited when I was contacted to shoot this wonderful couples big day. Jason is in the navy and due to an upcoming deployment, they had to move their wedding day from December to March. I have known Jason for a long time and when I met his lovely bride Jennifer, I felt like I had known her forever too. These two are so in love with each other and their wedding day was incredibly intimate and sweet.

Set in downtown Columbia at USC's famous Horseshoe, this day was picture perfect in every way. Enjoy some of my favorites from the day that Jennifer and Jason said "I DO."

***Special thanks to Kathy for all of your help. Girl you rock!

I love Jennifer's dads face seeing her for the first time...

And now some of the guys...

LOVE this one of Jason...

I love this shot of Jennifer waiting to go into the chapel...

It is another great way to have your images captured in a way that you can enjoy them time and time again. They also make great gifts for family and special occasions: Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Christmas, Birthdays, the list goes on.

The Piascks received a slideshow as part of their package and I just wanted to share it with you. I am sorda in love with it...

Family: The Piasciks, Fort Mill, SC

2010-03-23T13:24:00.000-07:00

I completely fell in love with the family you are about to meet. Heather is sweet, calm, beautiful and honest and her children are the joy of her life. Nicholas is the man of the house and has a soft spot for his mama. He is very gentle and such a sweetie (I even received a flower at the end of our shoot compliments of this charmer). Caitlyn is a mama's girl and melts you with her precious dimples.

Despite horrible weather ten minutes before our shoot, the clouds parted and gave us the most beautiful backdrop during our time together. Wouldn't you know that the second we drove away, the clouds came back together and it poured for the remainder of the afternoon. Now that's what we call God's perfect timing!

Without further ado, here are some of my favorites from our rainy day together in Fort Mill...

The Movie: Jason and Jennifer

2010-03-22T15:14:00.000-07:00

I had the privilege of shooting a very special day recently. Of course, I will post an actual wedding day teaser for Jason and Jennifer but I couldn't resist sharing their special day in movie form as well.

Enjoy!

Presentation...

2010-03-16T06:15:00.000-07:00

Ever since I re-branded my business to Lindsay Alexander Photography with my signature blue damask, I have been searching to find the perfect presentation packaging for my clients. This has been a lengthy process of searching, printing, scaling, creating mock-up after mock-up and finalizing. I wanted to go with a classic and elegant feel to my products while taking a more environmental approach. I wanted something that looked like me and I think I was successful. I am so excited about my finished product and wanted to share it with you.

I just love my new business cards. Sleek, simple and elegant with a glossy finish...

My print release and CD information are printed on recycled Kraft paper and my thank you note cards are printed on fine linen paper...

My CD and slideshow case is made of 100% recycled Kraft paper...

All clients receive the CD case with the print release, CD information form and a thank you note. Everything is tied up pretty with jute and raffia ribbon, one of my signature logo stickers and a charm...

My bags are recycled Kraft paper with white tissue and one of my logo hanging tags...

My brides receive one of my favorite items, my chartreuse vintage suitcases with matching blue handle...

Inside the suitcase is their print release, CD information form and thank you note all packaged together in a cellophane bag with my logo sticker seal; their wedding day images and wedding day slideshow all tied together with a charm and a special gift from me (not pictured)...

I am so excited about this new branded packaging and I look forward to giving my clients something beautiful to go along with their cherished images. Having my name on things still shocks me and I can hardly believe I get to do what I love each and everyday. God is sooo good!

Kiddos: Aiden, Greenville, SC

2010-03-13T18:13:00.000-08:00

With the onset of spring showers, we were not sure if our shoot would take place. Michelle (Aidens mommy) was so excited for the photoshoot and I was determined that things would turn out alright. With a break in the rainy weather, we were blessed with idyllic conditions. Seriously, we couldn't have asked for a prettier day.

Having a son myself, I am always prepared to put on my running shoes and snap away when little ones are concerned. Sweet little Aiden was a bundle of energy and personality. He kept me on my toes and made me smile with his charm.

I absolutely loved my time with Aiden and Michelle as we played all over Falls Park. Here are some of my favorites from our session together...

Event: Happy Birthday Coleman, Fort Mill, SC

2010-02-27T18:17:00.000-08:00

It is not part of my regular repertoire to shoot a birthday party, but I just couldn't resist joining this wonderful family on a monumental day. My son's first birthday was just a few months ago and I know just how special first birthdays are. So with giddy excitement, I walked through the door to celebrate Coleman's first birthday.

Holly (Coleman's mom) didnt miss a beat in the detail department. This adorable monkey-themed birthday party was absolutely precious in every way. (You will see what I mean in a minute.)

With the hustle and bustle of family and friends, the birthday boy tuckered out after present time and was down for the count. He never even had the chance to taste his smash cake. Nonetheless, this party was the peek of perfection and this little boy definitely knew he was loved (cake smashing or not)!

Happy Birthday Coleman! You are sweet enough to eat...

Kiddos: Emma, Charlotte, NC

2010-02-21T18:44:00.000-08:00

Emma turned one in January and her mom (Kate) was so excited to have her one year pictures taken. It just so happens that Emma is the daughter of my husbands best friend. It was so wonderful to see this sweet girl again and spend some time with her and Kate.

With the beautiful weather and the sun shining through the clouds, Freedom Park was loaded with tons of people and dogs. Emma loved to point to all the doggies and look at her shadow on the ground. She really is little Miss. Personality.

Here are some of my favorites from our time together...

Family: The Calello's, Mint Hill, NC

2010-02-20T19:01:00.000-08:00

Monica (the mommy) was so excited to have new pictures of her family in their "element" and I was so thrilled to just be part of a day in the Calello home. I truly felt at home with this family. They were warm and inviting right from the start. When I walked through the door I was greeted with the most precious little faces and sweet little voices. Ava, Thomas and little Oliver just melted my heart! I had such a wonderful time just allowing the kids do what they do best: chase each other around their backyard, play in their creek, spend time in their rooms and bounce around with the four family pets. With the amazing weather and beautiful company this day was truly a walk in the park!

Thank you Calello family for allowing me to be part of your family for the day. I so enjoyed our conversations and moments of laughter. I truly loved every minute of it!

Without further ado, here are ~~some~~ lots of pictures from our wonderful time together!

I love to sneak mom and dad away for some "kid free" pictures...

And out came the four family pets for some camera action...

And then we made our way inside for some downtime...

And because being a model is the most exhausting job in the world, we ended the day with rest time in mommy and daddys bed...

We Eloped: Doug and Sophie, Charlotte, NC

2010-02-15T19:29:00.000-08:00

When Sophie contacted me about shooting her and Doug's elopement I about fell out of my chair. I was so excited to be part of something so special and unique. Its not everyday that I have the opportunity to be one of the five people present on the most important day in someones life. I was truly honored!

The day started off getting ready at the gorgeous Ritz-Carlton hotel in uptown Charlotte. After a taxi ride, we arrived at City Hall where Doug and his best man were waiting. I was not allowed in the building for the ceremony because of a rule with security and cameras but was there the second they walked out.

We spent the rest of our time hopping all over the city. The Mint Museum of Art rooftop, Bechtler Museum, city sidewalks and then back to the Ritz for some more fun.

It was one of the most honest, raw and beautiful days. I had the best time and loved every second of it. As promised, here are some of my favorite shots from our day together...

We Eloped: Doug and Sophie (The Movie Version)

2010-02-14T20:35:00.000-08:00

I had the honor of being part of the most intimate wedding day recently. In the midst of planning a big wedding, Doug and Sophie decided they just couldnt wait. I think they might have rubbed off on me because I couldnt wait either. Here is a slideshow from their very special day. I will do an actual photo post here in the next day or so as well but wanted to give the bride and groom something fun to watch while they beach in Mexico!

Wee Babe: Rachel, Lugoff, SC

2010-02-14T17:26:00.000-08:00

I was so excited when Emily (the mommy) contacted me about a newborn shoot for her daughter Rachel. Emily and I went to high school together and it had been ages since we had seen one another. Although so much had changed, it was just like old times when I walked through the door. It was so wonderful to hug an old friend again!

Baby Rachel was an amazing model, sleeping 99% of the shoot. She was super easy and adorable in every way. Born on February 1st, this sweet girl stole my heart.

Thank you Bryan and Emily for inviting me into this precious time in your lives. I am so happy for you and your new family!

And now, the new little princess...

And now my absolute favorites. I just love how these two shots show Rachel's size. Plus she is smiling in the first one...

A Sneak Peek

2010-02-13T20:41:00.000-08:00

There is plenty more where this came from but I couldnt resist giving you a little sneak peek! I cannot wait to share more from this very special day.

Kiddos: Cayden the Ladybug, Greer, SC

2010-02-08T06:24:00.000-08:00

Its hard to believe that a month has already passed since I photographed Cayden for her newborn pictures. When I walked in the door, I couldn't believe how much she had changed. Still sweet as ever, this precious ladybug melted my heart over and over again. I joked with the mom (Tonya) that I could feel my uterus singing "another baby please!" With my little man approaching the fifteen month mark, I already forgot what it felt like to hold a little tiny in your arms. My husband joined me for this shoot and was shaking his head the whole time.

So without further ado, the precious one month old Cayden (affectionately nicknamed the Ladybug)...

Happily Ever After: Satcher and Branford, Columbia, SC

2010-02-02T14:57:00.000-08:00

They say that rain on your wedding day is actually good luck. Well, what about a WHOLE lot of rain, sleet, ice and snow flurries? Satcher and Branfords wedding took place in the most beautiful setting while under the most unfavorable circumstances. The yucky weather didnt phase those two. Nor did it phase my friend Kathy and myself. We were totally up for the challenge!

This wedding was full of amazing details, thoughtful sentiments and family heirlooms. It was beautiful in every regard. We started and ended our day at the beautiful Mill Stone at Adams Pond where everyone got ready and the reception took place and in the middle made our way to Christ Church of the Carolinas for the ceremony.

I was so thankful to take part in Satcher and Branfords amazing wedding day. I pray that God blesses your marriage and grants you great fulfillment in it. Congrats you two!

Some of the gorgeous details. They didnt miss a beat...

And the girls getting ready...

Satcher wore her grandmothers wedding dress that was also worn by her mother. Her veil was worn by eight women in her family. All of the womens initials are beaded on the train. Simply stunning...

Satcher and Branford wanted to keep their ceremony private but we were there when the doors opened...

When they arrived at the reception, a gospel choir was singing "O Happy Day"...

Family: The Harpers, Rock Hill, SC

2010-01-20T10:27:00.000-08:00

I first met this sweet family when Ben was just a week old. Jodi was so excited for Ben's three month old photo shoot and I was totally up for the impromptu task. So in a few hours notice, Jodi (along with her mom, two year old Sam and three month old Ben) made the trek to Rock Hill from Statesville, North Carolina. I was so excited to see the Harper's (Brad you were missed) and couldn't believe how much Ben had changed.

With the amazing break in the weather (60 degrees in the middle of January) we had a really great time capturing baby Ben and his precious brother Sam. Here are some of my favorites from our time together celebrating these two precious boys.

And because every Grandma needs some pictures with her grand-babies...here are some special shots just for NeNe...

And one of the whole gang...

Wee Babe: Cayden Elizabeth, Greer, SC

2010-01-02T18:34:00.000-08:00

The precious and girly addition to our family finally arrived on Monday afternoon and I had the honor of shooting the sweet "lady bug" this weekend. Cayden Elizabeth is the daughter to some of my dearest friends (who also happen to by my cousins-in-love). In a family dominated by males, this touch of feminine is such a breath of God-sent fresh air. Cayden was the perfect model, sleeping the majority of the shoot and moving every which way I positioned her. I could not have asked for a better two hours. It was pure joy and an absolute blast.

I have been editing away to provide the anxious parents a treat and something fun to look at during those middle of the night feedings. So here you go you two....I had a REALLY hard time narrowing down so here are A LOT of my favorites.

I love you all dearly and I am so thankful for this precious little lady. She is just delicious!

Check out these precious wrinkles...

Caydens amazing garden and lady bug themed nursery...

Love this shot of the girls...

Such a sweet smile...

Wee Babe: Abby, Huntersville, NC

2009-12-27T18:27:00.000-08:00

Sweet Abby was born on December 14, 2009 and her precious mom Moira could not wait to have her newborn pictures taken. I was so excited for this shoot and had a blast spending time with this adorable family on Christmas Eve morning. Abby was awake for the entire shoot and was a real trooper during our time together. This little blondie melted my heart and made my mommy butterflies flutter a bit. She is a total angel and sweet as can be. Here are some of my favorites from my time with Abby and her family in Concord, North Carolina.

I love these two shots of Abby's tiny feet...

Look what Santa brought for Christmas...

Family: The Gaileys, Charlotte, NC

2009-12-23T12:43:00.000-08:00

Well, I can defiantly say that this family traveled the furthest to have a shoot with me. Coming all the way from Washington DC, headed south for the holidays- this gang made a pit stop with me and oh how happy I am that they did. Patricia is a follower of my blog (When A Duet Becomes A Trio) and contacted me randomly wanting pictures of her family. I was so excited and could not wait to meet her. Come to find out, we had more in common than we realized.

After five hours stuck in the car, baby Benton and their dog Luna were ready to take a break. I could tell that Patricia and her husband Beau were ready to get out of there too. This pit stop was too much fun and I was a bit sad to see them go. So here is an early Christmas present ya'll. I told you it would be a while, and well....I fibbed.

Here are some favorites from our wonderful time together at Freedom Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hope to see you all again soon!

Love this precious series with Patricia and Benton...this is a true mommy with son in action...

Changes...

2009-12-18T13:04:00.000-08:00

Yes, I have made some changes to the ol' photography business.

The first thing you have probably noticed is that I am no longer LA Photography but rather Lindsay Alexander Photography. I have a new logo, I have a new email (lindsay@lindsayalexanderphotography.com...but you can still and always will be able to reach me at laphotographyforyou@gmail.com), I have a new website address (www.lindsayalexanderphotography.com), and there are more great changes to come.

You didnt think I would spill the beans all at once did you?

Since my business is only two months old and I wasn't completely sold on my former identity, I couldnt be more happy with the new changes.

Ringing in a new year.

Ringing in a new business identity.

Thanking God each day for blessing me with something I love!

Family: The Gonzalez, Columbia, SC

2009-12-15T06:17:00.000-08:00

Mike is a pastor of a church in Columbia and desperately needed new pictures for his churches website. After seeking me out to help him with the task at hand, he decided he wanted pictures of his family too. I had such a great time with Mike, Dawn and their three kids. A super cool family, ready to try anything and really thick skin to prove it. (The weather was not favorable the day of our shoot- 40 degrees and misting. Basically, we were FREEZING). You would never know bad the weather actually was by the great smiles and fun this family had. It was truly a pleasure to work with all of them. Here are some of my favorites from our time at the State House in Columbia, South Carolina.
