Hinson Family Beach Portraits || Augusta, Ga Family Photographer

July 9, 2010

While vacationing on Fripp Island, the Hinson's asked me to do their family portraits!  What a gorgeous location and what a gorgeous family!  Gina is my husband's father's sister...follow that guys?  She's my aunt-in-law :)


Check out mom and dad in the sunset; I just love that warm light as the sun goes down.


Sweet sweet children:


Pierce is the oldest, and loves to read!  This makes me (the ex-English teacher) very happy!


We call Carter the Baby Whisperer, because he can get my Hudson out of his grumpy moods!  He's so good with younger kids!


Oh Erik, lock the doors!  Miss Darby too beautiful for those boys that are going to come knocking!



Love the silly shots of kids just being kids:



Hope you enjoyed your sneak peek guys!  There are plenty more coming!

Oh Fripp, I am wishing I had sand between my toes and the wind blowing in my hair,

Paula's family is so gorgeous!  My family has known her family for a long time! In fact, I babysat Abby, their oldest little girl when she was maybe 6 months old.  Also Paula and my sister work in the same hair salon. 

Introducing Abby:


Sweet Emma knows how to work the camera:


And little Will:  (It took 4 adults, two children and some candy to get him to look for this one picture! haha!  too funny.  We were all DETERMINED to get a good headshot of this little guy!)


See why these kids are so gorgeous?


Party of Five


Thanks for changing locations with me last minute, guys! 
You have a beautiful family!

 My favorite shot:

much love!

Carolyn Grace || Augusta, GA Newborn Photographer

July 6, 2010

Little Carolyn "Grace" is a week old in her session!  What a sweet girl with a wonderful namesake. She's named after her late maternal grandmother.  Her mama and I went to school together, and it such a blessing to be able to take her baby girl's pictures.  Both of Grace's parents were so calm and relaxed!

We did some with daddy first, because he had to go back to work today!  Daddy/Daughter images always get me!


Now time to show off this beautiful baby!  She was so cooperative and easy to work with!

These next few are my favorites from our session:


Enjoy her sweet tiny-ness guys!  She's beautiful, really, she is!

Here's to pudgy toes and squishy lips,

A little closer....

A little closer....


It's Krista and Robby!!  Krista is my husband's cousin, and we couldn't be more thrilled that she is marrying cutiepie Robby. 


Robby is being sent for training and deployment in just a few weeks and won't be back for some time after that.  So glad we got to do their engagement session before he left!


Welcome to the family, Robby!  We couldn't be happier for the two of you!!


Looking forward to your wedding day!! It's going to be a beautiful day!



"and the greatest of these is Love",
