Photography by Chanda is packing up our bags yet again, heading to the coast of the Carolinas to photograph some super fab families. From Hilton Head to Charlestown to Folly Beach. . . well you name it and we have probably been there this month with bells, whistles and even, wounds! You read that right, we said wounds! The coast introduced Brandy and I to prickly cactus bushes. OUCH. pesky sand ants. . . YIKES. . . and so much more. But hey you know us; we do not let ANYTHING get in our way of an awesome shot!

This summer has been interesting thus far threatening and even photo shoots with heavy rain and seemingly endless storms. This entire month we have had record breaking rain sessions with umbrellas and rain boots, playing and jumping in the puddles and getting downright soaked. . . but like we said nothing stops us and we are so happy that you all embrace it too! Yet in the midst of bad weather the sun does shine to provide the perfect backdrop for some pretty great pics. Just take a peek at these pics and see firsthand that there is nothing and I mean nothing like beach family vaca pictures with amazing weather. insert pics And now, take a look at lil man Evan who is growing like a weed…

Pretty great stuff huh? We think so too!
Thunder and Lightning are not the only twins making noise this month. From our lenses we have seen a trend of twin boys making their debut this year. Look at these sweet twin identical boys, Chase and Connor.

But I guess I did not need to say identical. You can see for yourself. Happy 1st Birthday boys! insert pics From the adorable boys made of snips and snails and puppy dog tails, we turn to lil girls made of sugar and spice and everything nice. Finally a set of twin girls have blessed us as well, just recently in fact. We will hopefully get to Columbia, SC this August when they come home from the hospital.

Let’s see what else can we share with you? A new client this month has joined our family; welcome the Mashburn Family!

What a heartwarming welcome we received! It really makes our hearts full when we see family values shining through and makes the photo shoot really fun and the pics easy to capture. If you love lil red headed boys, you are going to fall off your chair because these kiddos are so stinkin’ adorable. Speaking of adorable, Brandy had the pleasure to document a sweet sibling pair, big brother and lil sister.

Brandy and I were all over the east coast shooting up and down the carolina waters. . . Just look at the stunning families. . . truly amazing capture families on vacation. . . at Hilton Head the Layne Family.

This client is not new yet, one of our most dearest to our hearts one whom we have been on a journey with since from the beginning. Their miracle child Halen has come out and just brightened so many faces – how can you not light up when you see her? She surely lit ours right up! Check out her big sis Maryn that we documented back in May with Momma and Dadda in maternity pics, while her other sister Dagen watches from above with wings. So touching!
