a lovely beaufort day

i would love to have a second home in beaufort. i have found some of my favorite spots there--if only it weren't such a drive. i can't exactly ask charleston clients to drive ninety minutes with me! beaufort is such a beautiful town. and maybe it's that it's still fresh to me since i see a different area almost every time i visit! i am so fortunate to have met some amazing clients, many of whom have turned into wonderful friends.

last week, i traveled to beaufort to meet with two wonderful families. the first was a cute little family--mom is sister to one of my other clients. it was wonderful to meet them and hang out with them. and get to know their little cuties, who were shy, but giggly!

the second is a family who has gone through SO much. the first time we had a session scheduled, mom ended up in the hospital with emergency surgery. so, obviously, our session was postponed. this time, mom had a little boo boo that morning and didn't make it into the pictures. once i get back for their family pictures, i told her there are to be no emergencies! nonetheless, i had a BLAST with her and her boys! she was a great sport, even though i know she was probably tired and in pain. and dad was great too--he pushed those boys on their swing SO much and SO high (and you know how i love old swings!).

at one point, mom mentioned the property next door, with an old barn. i asked if they knew the owners or if it was abandoned. abandoned. um. hello! jackpot! old barn. old car. oh yeah.
