{ It is Here!! The Fall }

Here it is... we are sitting in the middle of such a great time of year...  the Fall!  
 

Seriously, I think everything is just better in the fall - from the Pumpkin Spiced... well, everything, but especially the coffee to the beautiful scenery - perfect for apple or pumpkin picking and portraits - to the weather - cool enough to start wearing my trademark, the turtleneck, but still warm enough to enjoy outdoor time with the children.  

Maybe I love this time of year so much because I have so many wonderful memories that involve mums, jack-o-laterns and painting pumpkins with my children or maybe Fall is the special treat before my favorite season, winter.

Whatever it is, I simply love this time of year and all the magic it holds. www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

 

{Senior Portraits - Head of the Game}

When Alyssa called me to schedule her Senior Portraits, I knew that there must be something special happening in her life.  And I surely was right!!  

Alyssa is in this year’s Homecoming Court!  A very sweet young woman, Alyssa is super busy between her cheerleading commitments and her job a Chick-Fil-A, so we made time and headed to downtown Augusta. 

 
With five outfit changes and multiple locations, we had a full session and lots of time to chat.  Turns out that Alyssa was referred to me by two of her senior friends... how super sweet!  

Take advantage of the Fall foliage and get your senior portraits done in an outdoor setting and I can create for you a unique senior announcement!!

{ An Engagement to Remember } Kellyann and Nicholas

A fun visit with Kellyann and Nicholas for their engagement session brought us to downtown Augusta! 

What a fun couple who were willing to try anything! 

I loved that Kellyann had done a little “portrait search” on her own and had some creative ideas of how to capture this adorable couple.
 

A funny moment behind the scenes was when I realized that my towering 5 foot stature was no contest for Nicholas’ 6 foot stature.  Thank goodness for ladders and my steady hand.  We were able to capture some very sweet moments between this adorable couple!  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{ A Newborn Session with Some Creative Touches }

Sweet, adorable Sydney...  I honestly think I say that all my newborn portraits look like I am capturing little angels and aren’t newborns just that... gifts from God? 

Sydney’s Mom Christy contacted me after being referred by Skylar’s Mom Keela.  I packed up my camera and a few props and headed to Sydney’s house.  

I love doing on-location sessions for newborns - they are comfortable, in their own surroundings and Christy was ready with some adorable outfits and creative ideas, including a ribbon for Sydney’s hair and a beautiful bracelet.  

Sydney was a fabulous little girl and by the end of the session, both she and I were ready to eat!!  :)  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info

{Brooklyn + South Carolina = A Visit Home for a Maternity Session}

I never truly realize the impact I make with my camera until I get a call from Brooklyn...  Nicole's friend, Shlonda, is a customer of mine and showed Nicole portraits I had done of her and her family.  

Next thing I know, Nicole is calling me to schedule a maternity session appointment.  Originally from our area, Nicole was going to be visiting her parent's as she takes a break from her medical studies in Brooklyn.

With the portrait session being on location at her parent's house, there we lots of great opportunities for some wonderful portraits of the super sweet couple, anxiously awaiting the arrival of little Xavier!  Just before I left my house for the session, I grabbed the Scrabble box for a creative way  to showcase their new baby's name.

Thank you Nicole for making time on your vacation to let me capture this special moment for you!  www.MaryBethsPhotography.info
