I look forward to every single session that I do, however I greatly look forward to sessions with families and their dog(s). Maybe it’s because I’m obsessed with my dog and understand the bond that you can have with your pet and that a dog really can be part of the family. Argue with me all you want. Call me crazy. Dogs are family. Or maybe it’s because they bring such great energy to a session. Regardless, I love it.

About a month ago, my entire family vacationed at Carolina Beach, NC for an entire week. During this trip, some of us fell in love with waking up to watch the sunrise because of the amazing views from the beach condo AND some good old fashioned peace and quiet (PS I think waking up early on vacation is called adulting). Watching the sun come up over the water and a completely empty beach is the best time for some peace and quiet but do you know what else it’s the best time for? Pictures!

I am so excited to share this session of the most photogenic family. This family session was complete with demin, leather skirts, cowboy boots and leopard dresses – the Mullins family DID NOT disappoint. We decided on the Rock Quarry Garden in Greenville, SC for the location, which is located right near Cleveland Park – slightly hidden in downtown Greenville.

Rachel and Kristin are sisters who I had the pleasure of photographing alongside their families. I was able to capture both of these families together so that they could share the pictures with parents and grandparents. Rachel is married to Wes and together they have 4 amazing and fun children – Caleb, Evan, Andrew and Amelia. Kristin is married to Phillip and they recently had a precious little boy with the sweetest smile named Isaac.

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity of taking family pictures for my sister, brother-in-law and their golden retriever, Dawson. Kelly and Tommy picked Lake Robinson Park in Greer, SC as the location because honestly there’s not much more perfect than the view.
