Senior Photos: Abby
Abby is the youngest of my (J.P.’s) first cousins, making her the baby. As a result, I have a picture of her in my head that looks something like this:
(Sorry, Abby!)
But now she’s away at college, which doesn’t make me feel old at all, nooo… Furthermore, this is her now:
Kids grow up. If you’re really lucky, though, they grow up like Abby: beautiful inside and out. Not to say I don’t miss the gap-toothed little girl from time to time, but I’m delighted by the caring, intelligent, and sweet young lady she’s become. (Excuse me…something in my eye…)
Anyway, even though we took these after graduation, we’re going to count them as senior photos because she hadn’t left for school yet and besides, it’s our blog, so what are you going to do about it? *Ahem* Also, if you’ve got a senior in your house for whom you’d like to get photos, the time to contact us is now. It’s actually cool out and you can get photos made before the college application process has left them looking world-weary and haggard.
(You know, like this.)
It’s been amazing to watch Abby grow up and into a wonderful aunt to her nieces, who adore her.
She may have grown up, but she’s still got great expressions.
We love you, Abby! Now go kick college’s butt!

Peri’s Charleston Bridal Portraits
Peri and Steven are married! While we put the finishing touches on their wedding photos, we thought you might like to see just how beautiful a bride Peri is.
“Really, really beautiful” is how beautiful, by the way. We would also have accepted, “incredibly beautiful”, “stunningly beautiful”, or “astonishingly beautiful.”
We had the beautiful backdrop of Hampton Park in Charleston for these portraits, which were apparently so attractive that some of the local fauna decided to try to get in on the action. (Honestly, I like the grey over white look, but the black hat might be a little formal for an outdoor wedding.)
Peri is a graduate of the College of Charleston, so we decided to pay the cistern a visit.
I love the way her skin glows is this golden light!
Peri’s shoes are from the awesome Charleston Shoe Company. Apart from being local, their shoes are handmade and, I’m told, incredibly comfortable.
Peri and her family love the water so we had to get some shots that incorporated it. (Thank you for being so brave!)
Finally, the light was just about to die so we stopped right where we were on the Battery to shoot. Turns out this is where Steven proposed to Peri!
We’ll have more photos from Steven and Peri in the near future, so check back soon!
