A picture speaks a thousand words.

Sneak peek for Leslie and family

Remember as a kid when you'd be playing in the street, then someone would yell "CAR!" and everyone would move, let the car pass, then back to the street? That's how we were with clouds during Leslie's family session. Everyone was loosely grouped together, we'd see a cloud coming, they'd fall back into position, I'd tweak, then run for the ladder so I could photograph while the cloud was over the sun. I'm sure the people in the lobby thought we were pretty funny!

Here are the matriarch and patriarch of the clan. She had the Miss America pose down pat and helped demonstrate for the girls!

Katie & Emily

I have the best looking clients, don't I?

I talked these beautiful sisters into getting wet for me to do a little playing. I think it was more than worth it!

Daddy's Girl

Such a doll baby and she's crazy about her daddy.

Hopefully this will tide you over until I can get the rest edited, Amy!

Brothers

Sorry to post and run but I'm running late - I just had to share this!

Pure deliciousness

Aren't these just yummy? I love me some 2.5" gallery wrapped canvases!

24 people + 1 snake = SUCCESS

So, Kimberly... how DO you get 24 people to look at you on the windiest day we've seen in Myrtle Beach outside of a hurricane?

Well, you're lucky enough to have one smart dad (yay Cliff!) ask this guy to stand behind you, then pose for a snapshot with those brave enough to stand next to him, you do okay.

And in case you couldn't really see, HERE he is!

Happy Mother's Day, Jennifer!

No, my calendar's not messed up. You see, Rob gifted Jennifer with this family beach session for Mother's Day. The message he asked me to write on her gift certificate made me cry and I couldn't wait to meet the woman who inspired those words.

Such a beautiful family! Rob & Jennifer are so in love with their children, and each other. It's a joy to see. More to share - and your gallery - in a few days!

The ABC's of Me

Thanks to Carla Blankenship for the tag!

A is for age:
41 - it sounds so much older than I feel!

Little Bacon Cheeseburger at Five Guys - top it with grilled onions, relish and add a side of Cajun fries, please!

C is for what kind of car you drive:
Pontiac Vibe in Salsa Red.

D is for your dog’s name:
Parsley. DH said she was as small as a garnish when she came home with us.

E is for essential item you use everyday:
The computer(s) - it's an addiction.

F is for favorite TV show at the moment:
ummm... none? Though I've been known to be sucked in by an ANTM marathon once or twice.

G is for favorite game:
I bet it would be Wii Fit if we could find it and the console, LOL!

H is for Hometown:
Born and raised in the OC.

I is for instruments you play:
I play a mean baby bongo drum. You know, when you drum on your baby's nakie hiney singing "babalooey... you're my baby babalooey."

J is for favorite juice:
Pineapple.

K is for whose butt you’d like to kick:
The pest control guy. He's late again.

L is for last restaurant you ate at?
McAlister's Deli. Friday morning usually finds us at the Surfside Chick-fil-A, but life interfered. I'm in lemonade withdrawal. What's funny is I last ate at McAlister's with the owner of the Surfside CFA, LOL!

M is for your favorite Muppet:
The Swedish Chef. I do a mean imitation of him.

N is for Number of Piercing:

5am is up 'n at 'em time!

U is for what you consider unique: 
Seeing my 19-year-old before 11am and my daughter sleeping past 6am. No wind at the beach. Someone actually saying where they want to go for dinner instead of "I don't know, you pick." Little wonders :)

Carrots!

Procrastination.

X is for x-rays you’ve had:
5 or 6.

Y is for yummy food you ate today:
Food? Nothing yet. ::sigh::

Sneak peek: Marcy

A & A - so adorable and completely different! When they arrived, Mr. A came right over, made friends, and absconded with my equipment. Miss A took her time checking out the area, stayed close to Mom, and was very, very serious. Not sad, not unhappy, but taking everything in before making up her mind that not only the location was okay, but I was too. Look at these first two images - there's no doubt who's whom!

Such a beautiful family and so very blessed by their adoption of these two beautiful, charming children from Guatemala.

Thank you so much for choosing me as your Celebrating Adoption photographer, Marcy!
