Spartanburg Family Photography | The Mathis Family

We photographed the Mathis family a couple weeks ago at Cleveland Park in Spartanburg,SC. They are such a fun family and it was a pleasure working with them. It was our first session this year that really felt like fall weather. It was a chilly! Several times throughout the session, we caught ourselves wishing we had worn a thicker jacket. Matt and Jennifer’s son, Drew had a lot of energy which always makes for a lively photo session.

Here are a few of our favorites from the day! Cheers. [M]These two Furman Paladins recently celebrated their anniversary. Happy 9 years!Drew kept us entertained the whole time.I like this shot Vernice took of Drew on the playground.Thank you guys so much! Perhaps we can meet up at Furman during spring time.

It’s hard to believe our sweet nephew, Brenson, is almost 10 months old! Time surely flies … We’re sure Jessica and Brian would agree. Brenson gets more adorable every time Matthew and I see his smiling face. It is always a joy to photograph and spend time with our favorite baby boy! We hope y’all enjoy these several images from Brenson’s photo shoot. [V]

Check out all his teeth! He’s in deep thought here. ‘Hmmm …’Such a great family photograph! (Even though all that garnet hurts our eyes. Haha!)As if he could not get any cuter …Howdy!I love this! Great shot, Uncle Matt!Thanks for stopping by and checking out the blog! Much love from the Hammetts.

We photographed Daniel and Isabel a week ago in Spartanburg,SC. They are our cousins from North Carolina and unfortunately we don’t get to see them enough. We were thrilled when Sandra emailed us to learn more about our family sessions. We had a lot of fun photographing them. Daniel is such a good big brother and loves his little sister to pieces. In turn, Isabel wants to do everything Daniel does. She truly looks up to him. Vernice and I felt very blessed to have spent the morning with them.

Here are a few of our favorites from the session. Cheers. [M]Showing off the guns!Isabel trying to flex like Daniel. Isn’t she sweet?!This image makes us smile!Special thanks to Sandra. We hope you and Dan enjoy these images of your wonderul children. We’ll see you at Christmas!

One Year Portraits: Maddie

Matthew and Vernice — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:10:39 +0000

Matthew and I have the occasional ‘baby fever’ … especially when we have the pleasure of photographing the most adorable kids on the planet! Maddie is definitely a cutie! She was so much fun and had the best laugh. There were many times when Matthew and I would look at each other with the biggest smile on our faces and a little glisten in our eyes … Maddie is just that special.

These are some of favorite images of the day! Make sure you take a look at the slideshow for more of Miss Maddie Grace! [V]

What a sweetie!

She looks JUST like her mom, Jenny! (Matthew and I went to high school with her … so fun!)

Miss Maddie having a blast on the playground slide.

One of my all time favorite family portraits!

As if Maddie is not adorable enough … bring out the tutu!

This photograph that Matthew took makes my heart happy.

Thanks so much to Michael, Jenny, Mrs. Anita … and of course, Maddie … for wonderful photo shoot!

Our Wonderful Grandparents

Matthew and Vernice — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:40:33 +0000

Our goals with each session are typically the same. We want to have as much fun as possible while capturing something special both for the individual/couple as well as their family. With this photo shoot, we are the family which makes it that more special for us. We love every opportunity we have with these two fine folks. Talk began back in March concerning when we would have their next photo session. Well, we got busy and time passed as it always does and before we knew it, it was August. We knew this was something important to us, so we picked a date and sure enough it rained each date we picked for about 3 weeks, until finally we found a beautiful evening.

As Vernice and I think about where we want to be 50 and 60 years down the road, we always think about Papa and Mema and their love for one another. Vernice and I love our youth and cherish where we are currently as a married couple, but it is exciting to think about being parents and grandparents one day. When we get to that point, we know who we want to be like, and that sweet couple is our grandparents. Papa and Mema are wonderful grandparents and have such a positive influence in our lives.

Here are a few of our favorites from our latest session with Papa and Mema. Cheers.[M]

They have such a scenic gazebo.

Papa looked at us while we were taking these pictures and said, “You sure do have a beautiful grandmother.” We definitely concur.

The light was incredible that evening.

Papa’s grandfather was born in this house in 1862.

Love this shot.
