Had a blast shooting some Holiday Boudoir with these 3 beautiful women! I will be teaming up with Topaz by the Lake, spa in Ballentine/Chapin, SC area, and we will have Boudoir parties on a regular basis so please let me know if you are interested! Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and what could be more fun than Boudoir Photos with your friends! The parties will include snacks, wine, Mani/Pedi, spray tan (optional), and of course a Boudoir Photo shoot! Enjoy this sneak peek of our very first Boudoir Party!

Happy Holidays!

Fall Mini Session: The Cornwells Sneak Peek

Seriously LOVED hanging out with these three for this fun Fall Mini Session! 

They were a blast & little Charlie was too cute!

Fall Mini Session: Sisterly affection at its best!

Had such a great time shooting these three beauties! They are soooo very sweet to each other & had so much personality! 

Fall Mini Session: Madison

Here is a sneak peek of sweet Madison's Fall Mini Session! I have enjoyed taking photos of here since she was 6 months old and it has been pleasure to watch her grow! Such a beautiful child :)

I also will have the honor of shooting her parents Wedding in 2015! Can't wait!

ITS FINALLY OCTOBER : Pumpkins & Recipe

Its officially OCTOBER! Probably one of my favorite months in the year! The weather here in SC is beautiful and the smell of fall is in the air! I've totally caught the itch for pumpkin everything even though my pregnant appetite ruined my taste for it last year, so Pumpkin everything else! Pumpkins for Plant pots, Pumpkins for decor, Pumpkins for centerpieces, Pumpkins for PHOTOS!

This year I'm taking Ashton's 1 year photos in a pumpkin patch which I know he will LOVE! If any of you mommies and daddies out there want some photos of your kids w/ pumpkins just let me know :) I have a great spot. 

I also wanted to share a recent recipe I tried which turned out GREAT! Skinny Chicken Cordon Bleu

Roll-ups! I served this recipe with salad and it was a big hit... here is the link to the recipe by skinnytaste.com! Easy, healthy and delicious! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/03/chicken-cordon-bleu.html 

Where I've been hiding... my life in a nutshell!

I'm back! I have been sooo busy the past few months, and have totally been neglecting my poor blog. Needless to say, I have been itching to do a little writing & blogging. I have been working full time during the day (mon-fri), on mommy duty until Ashton goes to bed every evening, and treasuring every moment of my weekends. I have recently been shooting a lot of Boudoir photos which is soooo much fun, and I love it. Only down side is that some of my clients either don't want me to post any of their photos (completely understandable) or I have to wait due to Wedding Boudoir to post. I have an October wedding that I can't wait to shoot. I absolutely LOVE Fall Weddings so needless to say I'm pretty excited about this one! So thats a little update on where Ive been hiding the last few months!

Now for my favorite subject... ASHTON! I simply cannot believe my little stud is almost a year old. 

He is days away from taking his first steps. He crawls and pulls up just about anywhere and on anything. He is quite the climber, climbing up onto couches, chairs, boxes, tables, stairs (with supervision) and is constantly on the go. Loves tight spaces, behind the couch, inside boxes, under tables, etc... too funny. He plows through at least 2 full jars of baby food a day, one at breakfast, lunch & then a yogurt when he gets home from daycare. Daycare has been AMAZING for him. I seriously never thought those words would leave my lips but its true. He has been going to daycare for a little over a month and since has slept better (through the night & in his crib), he is eating better (more baby food & feeding himself), he's more independent, more social, playing great with other kids, and just overall a happier baby! Ashton is a gentle, snuggly, happy, playful little boy and Stephen and I just feel really blessed to have such an easygoing baby... I suppose he is almost a toddler at this point, Geez where has the time gone?! 

With all that said I have many recipes that I have been trying and perfecting for healthy eating for us adults and toddlers... posts to come! Along with any photo sneak peeks I am allowed to post :) Hope all you readers are well and happy!

Blakely's Newborn Photo Preview

It has been too long since I last posted but I have been one busy Momma! I now work full time for an awesome place called Palmetto Graphix in Chapin, SC. We have all been adjusting. Not having Ashton with me 24-7 has been difficult, but having a job to keep me busy surprisingly gives me some "me time" I haven't had in awhile. Don't worry, Im still doing Photography on the weekends and evenings :) 

Here is a preview of little Miss Blakely's Newborn Photos I took last week... She is soooo adorable & also Ashton's cousin!
