Here are a few pictures of Brayden’s first visit to Myrtle Beach… Enjoy!

This beautiful Easter Sunday morning, Kelly and I had our first Easter Egg Hunt with Brayden (almost 15 months).  It was a wonderful family experience… I think we may collect eggs outside on another beautiful day this Spring.  Here are a few pictures I hope you enjoy!

In the backyard counting his eggs… ok, he’s not really counting, yet!

Brayden enjoyed dumping the eggs out of the basket more than putting them in!

Putting the Easter basket on Brayden’s head!

Kelly made a giant cupcake for Brayden to devour for his first birthday.  It was definitely a special moment and one we will never forget!  Happy Birthday son.

A few close up shots of B’s footsies and messy mouth with the new macro lens.

This picture cracks me up!

I had the pleasure of taking photos for three little ladies and their mommy and daddy.  We lucked out with another sunny November day.  Whitney is the youngest of the three at 7 weeks old… She was a perfect model looking right at the camera with her big, bright eyes.

Avery (left) and Sydney (right) are 2 year old twin sisters.  They looked adorable in their coordinating heart dresses and tights!

Here are some pictures of Avery…

Mommy and her three princesses.

Daddy’s little girl.  She looks so peaceful sleeping.

A few family shots.

A few more photos including one of Avery and Sydney’s boyfriends, Henry and Sullivan.  Twin girls and twin boys!

A past client of mine coaches his son’s youth soccer team and he asked me to come shoot team pictures for the parents.  We shot these pictures as the sun was setting, but were able to get a few priceless shots.  Some of these are sure to make you laugh!

These boys seriously cracked me up.  I guess this is what I get to look forward to in a few years when Brayden is playing sports. 

I was testing out some new photoshop actions with textures.  Here are a few more “action” kick shots of the white team…

Here are the members of the red squad, including the twin boys.  Gooooooaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllll!

I met with Sarah and her baby girl, Madeline, for a mini photo session.  Maddie has the biggest eyes and cutest smile.  Unfortunately, the temperature dropped so quickly that we had to cut our session short… we’re planning to reschedule another time to take a few more photos.  For now, I hope you enjoy these pictures…

Sarah’s mother-in-law sewed this little outfit… Sarah told me she’s planning to start sewing herself.

This weekend we took Brayden to the Great Country Farms pumpkin patch in Bluemont, VA to meet with Kelly’s mom’s group for a day of fun and a few photos.  Within the first five minutes of being there, Brayden smashed his head against the picnic bench and got his first shiner and a few cuts.  The moms dressed their kids up in costumes and Brayden is a monkey this Halloween.  Here are a few pictures to document our day.

These pictures crack me up because you can’t see Brayden’s face.  I will also say I’ve always wanted a pet monkey to hide under my bed since I was 7 years old.

Meet Brayden’s friends… an astronaut, an elephant, a dalmatian, and a bumblebee!

Group shot of everyone!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

A few shots at the pumpkin patch. 

A few more photos to end the day including one of me and the little guy!
