I started a project this year that was so special to me and truly captures what *I* love to capture . . . CHILDREN! Children are so fun and really incredible to work with. They laugh at the silliest things, don't overthink the session, and tell me the honest truth at all times! It's almost like the world hasn't quite touched them yet with insecurity, anxiety, or any other nasty emotion we go through as adults and teenagers. A lot of kids that come in here are just happy to jump in front of the camera and strut their stuff!
So for this project I wanted to do things MY way and no one tell me otherwise! I wanted to capture 24 boys and 24 girls in a beautiful session all about them. All they had to do was show up! The parents filled out a questionnaire and I got to work. I was able to colour harmonize a complete session based off eye colour, hair colour, and age. The backdrop, props, and clothing was complete of MY choosing and I could play with lighting for these sessions as well. It gave me full creative control to try new backdrops, see how clothing really looked behind the lens, and bring in my favorite subjects - children! NO adults allowed! (Except mom and dad, of course!)
This also allowed me to create a beautiful publication full of amazingly breath-taking portraits. All different themes and ages but a completely gorgeous end product. It wasn't easy and sometimes I questioned myself, but I truly love being an Artist and capturing MY image. I love when families fully coordinate and bring their own ideas, but to be creative is my passion. It's what I love and I am so thankful this project gave me the opportunity to do that. Take a look at some of the gorgeous pieces below I was able to capture! These have been my FAVORITE sessions to date!
Are you interested in more of my projects? I love family photography, child photography, animal photography (yes! that includes photography of dogs AND cats!), beach photography, and downtown photography! We venture to Kiawah, Folly Beach, downtown Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Summerville, West Ashley and surrounding areas of Charleston, SC. We have clients come from all over South Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and sometimes even further! It's always a honor to work with a family or individual! I would love to work with yours!
