Children
Two’s Company | Daniel Island Family Photography
Posted on February 18, 2012
Robyn, little Libby and I had a fun morning at a Daniel Island park. Robyn’s second daughter is due to arrive in a few more weeks (doesn’t she look fantastic!?), and she wanted a few shots just hanging out with her firstborn, marveling in her Twoness.
I don’t typically shoot maternity photography. Frankly, the trends of the genre are a bit creepy to me, so I leave it to those who specialize in it. That said, I was more than happy to document this gorgeous mom-to-be, who I last saw in an appletini bridesmaid dress at DeBordieu. I do enjoy unscripted family sessions, just watching kids as they explore, find treasures and ponder things.
As much as we all document the “big stuff” like first days of school, a lost tooth, costumes, birthdays and performances, so much of what’s magical about kids is the everyday stuff. Hopefully a few of these images will serve as a reminder of how gorgeous a pregnant mom can be and how special a little QT with a cutie can be. I know Libby will be a great big sis — even if she doesn’t get her way with the name she’s picked out for the baby.
Contact Jen to discuss an unscripted session of lifestyle photography. Check out my wedding photography, too. Thanks!

Fantabulous Fall Family Fun
Posted on November 10, 2011
Charleston is a magical place to live. Conde Nast recently rated Charleston as the top city in the US and the third best travel destination in the world. Yeah, In The World. We have beaches with temperate water, history dripping like moss off the sturdy oaks, world-class cuisine (whether you dine out or cook local produce and seafood at home), sleepy tidal creeks where you can paddle with dolphins or reel in redfish, and one of the largest historic districts in the country. Our easy pace has even been known to inspire non-Southerners to utter “y’all” in the proper context. I dare say the only thing we lack is deciduous trees. In fact, since we can’t count on cooler air arriving by October, my trusty autumn signal is the persistent knocking on the roof as pecans fall from the trees.
That’s one of the reasons this family session was so fun. (Oops, maybe the segway implies this family is nutty, but I was rambling about my fondness for fall.) Obviously the AKF (adorable kid factor) was off the charts, but it was also fun to shoot in a little green space that felt autumnal — like a pumpkin spice latte with plenty of crunchy leaves underfoot.
I have a few spots left if your zany clan needs to bedeck your walls with holiday merriment. Contact me to book your family session.
Charleston Baby | Family

Meet Ila Gray! What a precious six-month-old girl, and her mom should be the modern-day Ivory girl. Looking at these images, I’m amazed that you cannot really tell it was 100-plus humid degrees. Rebecca and her Charleston baby look flawless, and sweet pea never whimpered. I love the simplicity of Ila Gray’s antique gown and her mom’s dress.
Know anyone with pinchable cheeks or a smattering of freckles who needs their own photo session? Contact Jen before the autumn slots fill up.
