Sticky: Florence, SC Family Photographer: Fall Family Photos!

Y’all, can I tell you something that I truly believe with all my heart? There is no session as important as the family session. I mean it, no question. I’ve always believed this, but sending a kid off to college has pushed this belief into overdrive for me. I can’t tell you how passing a family photo on my walls brings a smile to my face or tears to my eyes, depending on the mood I’m in at that particular time. The portraits of the four of us that surround me in my home will instantly transport me to that time and place and help me remember my crew at whatever age they were, and whatever mood they were in, be it happy, funny, or frustrated (I’m looking at you, Lake Jocassee 2015!). So, what I’m saying is, DO. THE. SESSION. It’s worth it, I promise. You will not regret it!

And y’all know I can help you out here! There are two main types of family sessions that we offer at the studio. The first is a custom session at a location that is meaningful to you. Maybe that’s your home, maybe a vacation spot that you love, or maybe just a place around town that is fun and unique! Sessions at locations in or around Florence, Charleston, or North Myrtle Beach are $125. After your session you will receive a gallery of images from which you will order your portraits. Digital and printed portrait packages are purchased separately. Email us to discuss your ideas for your family session! collin@cmsmithportraits.com

The second option is coming up on October 22nd and 23rd, and is perfect for the family who wants a quick session in a beautiful location, but doesn’t really have any need for a specific place. Our Family Limited Edition will be held here in our portrait garden on those dates! Sessions are twenty minutes long, by appointment only, and cost $65 with specially priced portrait and digital purchased separately. These sessions are fast and focus on the bonds that make your family unique! It’s over before you know it and I promise you it’s tons of fun! Galleries from these sessions are ready the evening of your session. Please email collin@cmsmithportraits.com to set yours up!

      Charleston, SC Senior Photographer: Shelby!

      We absolutely love this girl for so many reasons and have had the best time getting to know her better over the past year! There are a hundred great things I could say about Shelby, but one of my very favorite things about her is her love for family. The first time she sat across from me at our supper table she said “I don’t get it when people don’t like their mom. My mom is my best friend.” Yes, child! Family is very important to her and I love seeing the ways that she shows that. So when the opportunity arose to include her family in part of her senior session at Isle of Palms we jumped on it! They have vacationed here forever and that on top of the fact that it’s an absolutely gorgeous spot made it the perfect location for this session! Shelby, you are a treasure and we are so thankful for you! Congratulations on your graduation!

        Florence, SC Newborn Photographer: Aubrey Rose

        I’m finally getting around to blogging the sessions of some of our sweet sweet newborns who were born last fall! That time of year is just crazy in the studio and the poor blog gets forgotten, but these babies simply can’t be forgotten! Especially this beautiful girl! Aubrey is the newest member of one of our favorite families and Collin and I were so happy to hang out with her at her home for her newborn session. And seeing that sweet Oliver as a big brother?! Great Day, that made my year! Guys, congratulations on your precious girl! And Aubrey Rose, welcome to the world!

          Myrtle Beach SC Senior Photographer: Bella at Market Commons!

          It’s all things DANCE here at the studio this weekend, so how about we stick with the theme and blog this beautiful dancer’s senior session? What a fun one this was! Bella had the idea to do her session at Market Commons and I just love how it turned out…so many unique looks in such a small space! Bella, watching you grow up has been so much fun! We’re so proud of you and so excited for your future, sweet girl!

            Upstate South Carolina Family Photographer: The Bollinger Family

            Will we travel to the upstate for a session? Every time, the answer is yes. Just look at this color! Collin and I met up with the Bollingers this past fall at Jeanne’s childhood home and had the best morning! We fell in love with this family years ago, and on this day we also fell in love with the place that Jeanne grew up. Doesn’t it look like a movie setting? Just perfect! Guys, as always, we had so much fun!
