Disney for a Night…sort of

Collin had a Bridal session in Beaufort last night, so the kids and I went down with him for a night away. We stayed at Disney’s Hilton Head Resort. I was VERY CAREFUL not to mention to Mak the word “Disney” for fear that he would be disappointed when he couldn’t ride “fast cars” or...

Fred ’08 comes to The Drive-In

Every once in a while you get an unexpected call, or in this case a text message. Last night at about 8:00 PM I received a text from Pauline at The Drive In saying that Fred Thompson was going to be there at lunch, and she wanted to know if I could come to photograph....

    soo cool- Reeves would have been all over being there since Fox news was there also- he LOVES that channel. Great pictures Collin- what a fun and interesting twist to your usual photography!ReplyCancel

    Fred is the best candidate out there. Factcheck.org finds error or out-in-out lies in the ads, speeches and debates of candidates. Everyone but Fred makes their list consistently. We need a president with integrity and strengh. Fred Thompson show that! Thank you Collin for the great pictures!ReplyCancel

    How can I obtain permission to use one of these photos on my blog?ReplyCancel

    Wow! These are terrific. I wish you could go with them on the bus and post these regularly. These make me feel like I was really there and Senator Thompson looks great in your photos. You are one good photographer.
    Thanks, thanks, thanks.ReplyCancel

    Oh my goodness! These pictures may make history books one day! I am so proud of you CMS! Great Job. And I TOTALLY agree about Fox News. By far the news channel that we watch the most around this household! What a special opportunity. Great shots! Way to go!ReplyCancel

    We’re sorry to miss all the excitment in SC this political season. Very cool Collin! Fox News is all we watch at our house. 🙂ReplyCancel

19 months

I of course intended this to be an 18 month post, but Christmas and traveling happened, so we’ll just do 19 months instead. She was definitely showing her “difficult” side when we took these pictures! I think we’ll stick to candid from now on… I CAN NOT believe that my BABY is already a year...

Clubhouse

The kids are finally getting to enjoy the bounce house that Santa left. They LOVE it!!! Check out that JUMP!!! And that outfit…he picked it out himself. Can you tell? I LOVE it! This is Clara Beth’s latest thing. She grabs your finger and says “M’ere” or “M’on” for come here or come on. She’s...

Baby Sadie Grace

When we returned from Missouri, we had yet another present waiting in Florence. A brand new baby girl to love! Bryan, Kristin, and Anna welcomed Baby Sadie on New Year’s Eve. We were so sad to be away when she was born, but thoughts of meeting her made the return trip that much more urgent....
