A Sunkissed Family Session at Rainbow Row in Charleston, South Carolina

Pure inspiration. That's what the Creative at Heart conference was for me.  I spent 5 days in the quaint and colorful city of Charleston, SC this November.  I'll share a full post on this later, but it was an incredible experience connecting with, learning from, and sharing my heart with other creative entrepreneurs.

One of these amazing women that I met was Lauren Nievod, the owner of Lauren Nievod Photography in Baltimore, MD.  Lauren is a wedding and portrait photographer, and her style is light, airy & authentic.  She's also a little bit whimsical with a focus on the sparkly details, and as you know, whimsy is totally my thing!  ;o)

Lauren is simply the sweetest, and she has the most adorable family.  When I reached out to our group of conference attendees about doing a family session in this gorgeous city that I adore, I was thrilled when Lauren told me she'd be coming to town with her husband and her two little ones for our Creative at Heart weekend.  With kids this adorable, it's impossible not to get over-the-moon excited about photo day!

I adore this family photo taken at Rainbow Row.  This is actually their very first family photo with all four of them together in the frame, and I'm so honored to have captured this moment for their sweet family.

Aubrey was such a little ham during our session, and she warmed right up to me after discovering that she could make the biggest echo in the entryway of one of the homes on Rainbow Row.  She has the most beautiful sparkling eyes, and an adorable little smile with those teeny-tiny baby teeth peeking through.  She's already a wonderful big sister, and did such a great job with her baby brother Parker.  And did you notice this outfit of hers?  Definitely the most stylish 2 1/2 year old I've ever met!

Lauren, a very special thank you to your incredible family.  I am so happy we were able to capture these moments for you while visiting such a gorgeous city.

This wasn't the only photo shoot I did while in Charleston!  Click here to see a cozy anniversary session photographed beneath the Southern live oaks at the College of Charleston.

I'm always up for a little adventure, and I adore traveling and exploring beautiful places.  I have a handful of faraway visits planned for 2016, and I would love to come to your city or town!  Let me know and we can create some beautiful memories for your family!
