Shannon's Expecting {maternity}

What would we all do without facbook? Honestly? I love that I can stay in contact with old high school friends by just logging onto a website! Plus it makes me feel like I'm still close to home...oh how I miss James Island. So a couple of months ago I was contacted by a friend I went to high school with about taking pics of a preggers friend, who I also went to high school with. Shannon made the trek out to my neck of the woods, Meggett...which is about a 45-60 minute ride from James Island depending on the weather and traffic. I had so many exciting ideas planned and locations I wanted to use out here. Unfortunately, all of those were nixed with the rain and we were stuck inside for most of the time. Luckily we caught a little bit of a break towards the end and we rushed outside to my back yard for a different scenery. Will hopefully get some pictures of Baby Smart when he makes his debut! Look for some more to follow from Sara's view :)

Reese & McKenna

What a beautiful family Sara and I had the opportunity to photograph! Our plan was to dedicate an hour to the family, but once we got there and started to snap the pics we couldn't stop! With my children and Sara's children in school we spent the whole morning with this family. What a treat and breath of fresh air it was!

I've had such a hard time trying to decide which pictures to post and have not been able to narrow it down. So enjoy :)


I think this was the only time I saw Reese's eyes pop open for more than a few seconds!


Why is it we are drawn to little hands and feet?

A Strong Fella ;)

This is my last batch of pictures I've been working on from the holidays. Baby H had just turned 2 months old and he was such a strong little fella...already rolling over and getting his chest off the floor. Big sister was so proud and a HUGE help to me! Thank you to the Payne family :)

Sara and I have become very bored lately without any photo sessions lined up :( Send a referral our way and we'll give YOU a discount! Contact us for more information, CoastalTidesPhotography.

Brother and Sister Session

I was not expecting such a cold and windy day when these kiddos came out for their portrait session. They braved it and did a phenomenal job for Sara and me :)
These next two pictures I love! It shows how much Little R loves and admires his older sister.

Baby L

Over the Christmas Holidays there was a HUGE family Christmas party at my father's house. I knew baby L was going to be there and I HAD to use this precious little one for more practice.


For some reason I LOVE this picture. This is L's mommy and grandmother getting her dressed ;) She sucked down her dinner bottle soon after!

The Butler Family

Hope our followers have enjoyed the Holidays! I guess it's back to reality for most of us...I'm glad to be going back to a routine :)

During the break Sara and I had the honor of visiting the Butler family on Wadmalaw for a maternity session and then down to Cherry Point for a mini-birthday session. Kudos to the fam for braving the cold!

More of Baby Isabelle...

We have some more beautiful pictures to showcase from our session with Baby Isabelle. Enjoy!
