one long day. two amazing sessions. beaufort family children photographer

two saturdays ago, i made my way to beaufort, one of my favorite towns. i was driving there as the sun was coming up. and i drove home as the sun was going down. it was totally worth it though. i was able to see two of my favorite families!

we started at the beach with the p family. the beach has the most amazing trees growing from the sand. i love when beaches have more than just sand and water--it adds character. after the beach, we traveled to a private island that was in the family. it's such a gorgeous location and mr p grew up here. so, we have a lot of history to include, which makes it a really special place.

i love the p kids. they are just so much fun. and they were SO patient--two locations and several hours. but they didn't complain and did a great job!

after that, i traveled to bluffton to meet the s family. i photographed this family last september in a gorgeous house on the battery. but today, i was in their neck of the woods. on the trip in, mom called me and told me to drive a little past my turn and check out a location. she had me at "old barn" and "old truck." seriously. i was downright salivating and could've easily pulled over to do cartwheels. but we did some family pictures at her house and some formals of the girls in their Christmas dresses. and then, i got to play at the farm. i took a gazillion pictures. and the girls were wonderful! we ended the session with their feeding and brushing the horses. all in all, a great day!
