Papa and Mema: Sneak Peek

August 26, 2009

We recently had a photo shoot with our wonderful grandparents, David and Ramona Settle. You may remember them from past posts as this is their third official session with Hammett Photography.  We love getting together with them and we can’t wait to post more pictures! For now we’ll leave you with a pretty sweet preview. Cheers. [M]

Sweet Ava

August 20, 2009

Hello blog readers! We photographed sweet Ava’s two year old portraits in downtown Spartanburg. She has grown up so fast right before our eyes! It seems like yesterday we were taking her nine month pictures. Ava has the biggest heart and most loving personality. Vernice and I always enjoy our time with her. Many thanks to Tim and Leslie for believing in us and our work. We love you guys! 

Here are several of our favorites of the lovely Ava and family. Cheers. [M]

Ava loves her Daddy!

Being a little shy with her Mom.

Looking for the mysterious bird that landed somewhere in the flower bed …

She’s precious!

When two girls ‘fight’ over the same guy, it is presumed they are not the best of friends. Well, I’ve got a funny story …

It was seventh grade and I was madly in love with a boy named Chris. Naturally he was dating one of the prettiest girls at school, Erin. She was tall, blond, and popular. And I was way jealous. Of course, I was very happy when they broke up  … and several months later, Chris and I started dating. Several days later … we broke up and he asked Erin back out. A few weeks later, Chris and I were yet again ‘going together.’ The vicious cycle finally ended when Chris moved away. It was one of God’s many blessings because, Erin and I became the best of friends. Don’t ask me how or why … but, we joke about it often. We’ve never fought over a guy since … and now we both have a man named Matt in our lives who truly makes us happy. Funny, huh?

We photographed Erin and Matt’s engagement portraits in beautiful Charlotte, NC. Matthew and I had a blast … and it was wonderful catching up with good friends. Take a look at some of our favorites from the shoot and leave us love! [V]

I love this one Matthew took … LOVE IT!

All smiles!

I’ve always loved Erin’s laugh … it’s positively contagious.

Erin and Matt, we love you both! Congratulations again on your engagement and we can’t wait to see y’all again soon!
