The Brown Family | Mepkin Abbey | Charleston Family Photographer

I love this time of year! The trees are turning hues of red and gold, the leaves crunching under my feet; and with a camera in hand, it's the perfect recipe for some cozy Christmas photos. Mix all that together, and voila, you have some cute family Christmas cards! I had the best time with this family wandering around Mepkin Abbey. We spent a couple hours together shooting at this beautiful location, and it was time well spent! I can't wait to do some more family shoots like this!

Durham Family - A downtown Charleston session

I had such a great time with this family at a quaint little Downtown Charleston Garden. Little Carter was such a champ being passed from grandpa to grandma to mom to dad and everyone else. A smile never left his face. I really enjoyed getting to know this family and the time I spent with them. They have so much love for this precious little boy.
