Lindsay // A Maternity Shoot (with sometimes Ken).

Lindsay is one of my favorite people ever and is probably now one of our most photographed clients as we induct her into the CSP 4 Timers Club! See time one, time two, and time three here. :) Now that I’ve photographed her and Ken a whole bunch, we’re excited to see them welcome a small but presumably really, really, really good looking child into this world. To celebrate this, we had her stand around and contemplate parenthood in the great wilderness of Durham, NC. Don’t let her serene looks fool you as she is truly one of the funniest people we’ve ever met and we love her. Oh, and every once in a while you’ll see Ken in this shoot because he’s an important part of this whole thing, but not quite so important as to be included in the photos while she was in the purple dress (because he wouldn’t match). We love you too, Ken.

Vivi // At Three Years.

YES!! We were so happy to receive an email from Vivi’s parents expressing their desire to hire us yet again to follow Vivi around on a toddler adventure of epic proportions. We did this last year, and it was fantastic. We were warned that Vivi would neither pose nor listen to any photography directions whatsoever, so we were free to follow her around and see where she’d take us. Last year she was into picking up leaves and sticks and running around trying to open the doors to most buildings in the park. She also liked Mr. Geoff. This year she ditched her interest in picking up leaves and is now into picking up little rocks instead. She’s still picking up sticks, but they’re bigger than last year, and instead of trying to open most of the doors, she tried to open every single door she could find anywhere. Most of the time she’d pretend to hit an imaginary buzzer and say, “Ding-dong!” so at least she’s not just barging into the buildings unannounced. Last year it rained on her session, and this year it rained again. Both years she was fine with it. She still likes Mr. Geoff, she’s still adorable, and still has that amazing hair. VIVI TURNS THREE!

Stephanie+Randy // Fort Mill, SC

We love a good anniversary session. Stephanie and Randy are high school sweethearts that have been together for 17 years. Now that they’re celebrating their 9th wedding anniversary, they decided to have some photos taken. So we hopped, skipped, and jumped on down to Fort Mill, South Carolina to take photos of them hanging out and being adorable together. They love music (especially Phish, whom they’ve traveled from Maine to Florida to see), and biking/hiking around the Charlotte area, where they moved from New York. We had a great time getting to know them while running around some pastures, exploring some creeks, getting bitten by mosquitos, and making friends with horses. They sat in hay, walked through streams, and were super good sports the entire time. :) Stephanie’s been a big fan of ours for a while and we hope the pictures fulfill the CSP wedding anniversary dream! We couldn’t have asked for two nicer or funnier people to spend a great fall evening with.Couple standing in forestCouple in forestCouple holding hands and walkingCouple walking through forestCouple standing by creekCouple holding hands and walkingCouple standing by creekMan and woman walking along dirt pathCouple laughingWedding anniversary portrait in South CarolinaCouple standing by treesCouple sitting on cottage stairsCouple standing by cottageCouple cuddlingSilhouette by barnPeople walking to horsesBarn in South CarolinaHay SiloEngagement photographers in South CarolinaCouple with hay balesPortrait with hay balesCouple sitting in hayCouple standing on farm
