What a pleasure it was to meet the "S" family the other day. This family of six was so much fun to spend time with. There was never a dull moment during this afternoon shoot at the park. Thank you all so much! I hope that you enjoy your Sneak Peek :).

Family Fun--Greenville children's photographer
What fun when the cousins get together to spend time playing at the grandparent's house! I loved spending time with my cousins while we were growing up---and those moments now as adults when we get together are so sweet. Other than your siblings, cousins are your first true friends! I wanted to share some fun times last weekend when these little ones got together.
Precious times, my friends!

How Glorious To Be Two! {Sneak Peek}
On Saturday afternoon, one of the most HUMID days of the year :), I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph this precious two year old....when I could catch him and have the camera in front of him!
Yes, I did wear my running shoes for this shoot! I have learned many valuable lessons when photographing little boys.
Here are a few fun shots that I wanted to share with you all. Enjoy!!
Many moons ago, his sweet mommy was one of the teenagers in our church's youth group and Young Life group that Craig and I helped with. Time simply flies, my friends!!!

Oregon Vacation--Days 5,6, & 7
I so appreciate you all following these posts to see the fun we had in Oregon! Definitely a great place to vacation! I am combining the last three days---simply because I have a photo shoot coming up :). I hope that you enjoy these.
This is Smith Rock. It really reminded us of Colorado. Lots of hiking and rock climbing that you could do here...but we were on a mission, and then we saw this sign...
Not being a fan of snakes, we got back in the car and headed north to Mt. Hood.
Just amazing!!! It was a little strange seeing all of the snow in the middle of summer.
Gearing up for a snowball fight!
And the first one is hurled....at the three of us!
Love those boys!!
Our final stop of any length was Hood River. It's a neat town nestled on the Columbia River. Fun restaurants, interesting shops, and wind surfing! We didn't try it on this trip. We went another route...
When we started out, Craig and I were on one jet ski and the boys were on another. After hitting wave after wave, I had enjoyed all that I cared to. So, mama was dropped off at the dock to get my camera. Then the wildness began! No details on a public blog :).
Gorgeous blueberry bushes were everywhere! The dog dug up our bushes, so....I just buy them at the grocery store now :).
Our hotel was on the other side of the river with Mt. Hood behind us. After going over the bridge into Washington state, we saw the view from this angle. Amazing!
After driving for hours to see Mt. St. Helens (we only made it to the base!), we took a few pics and turned around to meet up with friends. Lindsay is another Noonday Collection ambassador with me. She and her family invited us to go sailing and then to dinner before catching the late night flight back to SC. We loved this opportunity to get to know them. And, the boys learned a little bit about sailing!
What a gorgeous view from the river!
Dinner on the river and watching the sun set with family and friends. A great way to end our vacation.

Oregon Vacation--Day 4
You all have been so sweet with your comments about our vacation! It was so busy last week that I didn't have a chance to post any of our pictures. I hope to finish this week!! We stayed in Bend for two nights, and on the first day, we drove south to Crater Lake. When we first began planning this trip, Crater Lake was not on our radar because of the extra driving. I am soooo glad that the boys vetoed this, and were insistent that we see tit. Y'all, this was one of the most beautiful sights that I have ever seen! Amazing!
We drove to the rim of Crater Lake with all of the other tourists....doing the touristy thing! Then, we looked at the various hikes that we could take. Of course, the hardest one was chosen...thanks to child #1! Anyway, we drove to the trail head and began the ascent. It was steep, but the trail itself was really good. Above is one of the many views of the deepest lake in the US.
They didn't have to ask me twice to stay on the trail!!! Mercy!
Almost at the summit...and there's snow!! You all can guess what happens next :).

I sing for joy because of what you have done.
O LORD, what great works you do!
And how deep are your thoughts."

Oregon Vacation--Day 3
Been missing in action for a week due to a computer virus. Sooo thankful that none of my pictures were lost. The third day of our vacation began at Sandmaster Park in Florence. We could have stayed there all day! The boys loved the sand boarding...they were completely worn out by the end of the day. The pictures do not do justice to the height of the dunes. What we have along the coast of SC is nothing compared to these 100 foot plus dunes. I would climb halfway up just to get a closer view of them. They really did a great job mastering this sport....even though the wipe-out pics are the best ones!!
Please note that Dad did look over his shoulder to make sure that Child #2 was not seriously injured, but that he continued up the dune for his ride!! (I did not include pics of that, but trust me, it was quite entertaining!)
Child #1 also joins in the cool wipe-outs!
I had to leave you with one more!
After we left Florence, we drove to Eugene--home of the University of Oregon. The track that we are in front of is where the 2012 Olympic Trials were held the month before. Such a beautiful campus!
Steve PreFonatine, an amazing runner in the 1970's, went to Oregon and was coached under Bill Bowerman--co-founder of Nike.
After leaving Eugene, we continued east to Bend. This was one of the lava flows that we drove by with the peaks of Sisters Mountains in the background. Snow---in July!!
