Baby Kaidon Maddox { Greenville Newborn Photographer }

Hello Beautiful People!!!

I am just minutes away from braving the rain, but I wanted to spread a little sunshine on your day with my youngest nephew. Please meet Kaidon Maddox…just 2.1 weeks old today.  Can I just tell you how much I love and adore this little guy…he’s just too perfect. He just melts in my arms and I could hold him all day.  He’s for sure to be an Auntie’s Boy. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday Baby Bella!!! { Greenville Baby Photographer }

Heya!!! Is everyone ready for the weekend? I am beyond ready to spend time with family and friends to good music and food.  I hope this isn’t the last of the summer hurrahs…hopefully I’ll be able to plan another before my first fall breeze comes in.

Are you prepared to meet beautiful Baby Bella? Today is Miss Bella turns a whopping 1.  She definitely lives up to her name. Her eyes are G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S, but surely I don’t have to tell you this.  Miss Bella is already quite the diva. She loves her accessories.  Her mom and I were roomies back in my wild days…we had too much fun. Anyway….Enjoy!

Sunny + Jazz = Engaged { Downtown Greenville Engagement Session }

Hey Beautifuls!!!

I hope everyone is doing well today. It’s gorgeous outside today, but I am swiftly counting down the days to FALL!!!!  I’ve already started getting the Fall fragrances ready…wondering if my neighbors will think I’m crazy for putting the Fall Deco out early?

I’ve known Sunny since middle school and she’s always been a gem. Despite her gorgeous smile and charming personality, her stunning eyes have always been her trademark feature.  I was stoked when Sunny emailed me and told me she was engaged…I was even more stoked when Sunny said she didn’t want to shoot in the park…she had me at hello.  The best part of my job is witnessing the dynamic between two people in love.  These two are so in love it’s reeeedunculous!!! They laugh non-stop.  Who  would think Jazz would be so ticklish…to see Sunny tickle Jazz and then hear him laugh nonstop?!?! You just can’t help but to laugh and {smile} along with them.  Here are some of the shots from our session…enjoy. 

September 1, 2011 - 10:54 pm alexbee - I loooove how they've contrasted colors with their outfits! great photos! Their love really shines through

September 1, 2011 - 7:54 pm Amber Hughes - Cute couple - I especially like the shots against the grey wall. :)

Hope { Greenville Senior Photographer }

Good Morning Beautifuls!!!

Hopefully I am keeping your day at the office “busy”.  I posted some of these images of Hope on the Adore Amore Facebook Page, but thought I would share some  on the blog. Hope is my mom’s best friend’s daughter and auntie of Baby Olivia. I remember getting off the elevator at St. Francis Hospital with my mom and brothers to meet this sweet little baby. Eighteen years later, she’s off to Anderson College on a full scholarship and has grown into the young woman every parent wishes their child to be. She is not only beautiful, smart, and kind, but she is an active steward and volunteer.  Enjoy.

All Things Adored { August }

Ooohh…remember when I use to do these!?!! I am not kidding when I tell you that each month, I mentally blog about my favorites of the month.  This month..the rubber meets the road.  Anywho…as I’m finally sitting down to watch the MTV Music Awards (3 days later), I thought it be fit to get cranking as {1} Adele belts out “Someone Like You”.  It is mutually Hubbalicious’ and my favorite of her 21 album. It’s a modern-day Etta James if you will. {2}My new headshot…yep…I finally got one actually a hundred…but no sense if overwhelming you with tons of shots of me. No more mobile phone photo session. I called up my favorite all-inclusive gal pal and scheduled my session.  Don’t mention it to her husband because he is still salty that I got preferential treatment as far scheduling my session earlier than his…all in good fun, of course.

{3} Kim is my all-inclusive friend…she’s an amazing photographer, and equally a wonderful mother, wife, and friend!  With Kim, I have a friend who listens to the same quirky music, loves the same amazing photographer, and we equally get that we’re not too far off the map when others may think so. She’s that friend that makes the greatest problem seem so small. She has Australian licorice on hand for the problems she can’t help solve…and then everything is okay.  Please check out her work, and like her on facebook.  Plus…she introduced me to {4}Pinterest.com…my new favorite website…on those nights where you want to look at pretty images.  Check out my pinterest page { www.pinterest.com/adoreamore } to check out my vision boards. If you need an invite, just hit me up. {5} It took me for-evah to switch from Droid to iPhone, but after discovering {6} Instagram it was my sole reason for making the leap and I have not been disappointed.  It’s like my daily blog…and I love capturing little moments and things and I love the way the images are rendered.  I would love to follow you if you’re on Instagram.  Here are some of my favorite images taken with my iphone using the Instagram app.  I intentionally left my photog arsenal at home, and captured my visit to {7} free trip WPPI Chicago with the iPhone. Enjoy!

 

 

September 20, 2011 - 6:34 pm Kim - Aw, thanks for being such a great friend. I stalk you so much in real life I hadn't seen the post. Hugs & Love

Tolbitos { Downtown Greenville Photography }

Can you tell I am making up for lost time?  Well, anyone who talks to me, regularly, knows that I when I am not chillaxin’ with Hubbalicious that I am probably kicking it with the littles.  After making tutus on craft day with my nieces, Mariana and I decided to head downtown and have some fun…we also brought Kaleb, Zhane, and Mochi (along with her custom tutu).  Mariana, my niece, is my ultimate partner in crime. Sometimes I feel as though she is a 20 year old trapped in an 8 year old’s body. She is mentally beyond her years, but most girls are!!!  Enjoy!

September 1, 2011 - 12:14 pm Tiffany - These children are gorgeous!!

Nattes Children { Greenville Family Photographer }

Hey!!!

I am back again!!! Stay tuned…I’ll probably add more tonight…I just couldn’t resist sharing my dear friend’s children. These kids are so full of energy, fun, and are just plain beautiful!!! I am always cracking up when I am around them. The youngest likes to go thrifting with mom and I, so naturally she holds a sweet place in my heart. We headed out to Leah’s parents’ home in Belton where her dad has this nice little truck stashed away. I LOVED IT!!!

Enjoy!!!

Cowgirl Birthday Party { Greenville Photographer }

Hello Yallz!!!!

I hope everyone has been keeping cool and fighting the heat. It’s been brutal!!!  I wanted to jump on real fast and share a sweet session with one of my faves, Claire.  I am having a hard time wrapping my head around Claire being a whopping 2 years old. I have watched this little flower blossom into her own.  It was so fun seeing her personality shine through during this session.  She takes direction so well…this girl is destined to be a SupaStar, and when she does, you all can say you saw here.

Isn’t she the cutest outlaw you’ll ever meet?! Here a few shots from her Birthday Party. Enjoy.

Sheila + Perry = Engaged { Greenville Engagement Photographer }

Hello beautifuls!!!

It feels so good to be back. I wanted share an engagement session shot a couple of months ago. Sheila and Perry are tying the knot this weekend. I spoke to her late yesterday afternoon and she sounded a bit nervous. Can’t wait to see her all swanked out.  This engagement session was taken downtown Greenville where Sheila and Perry schlepped 3 hours from Charleston and I met them coming from a shooting a wedding the day prior in Atlanta.  I can tell the two were nervous at first, but it only took a couple of minutes to shake those nerves away.  I adore the way these two keep each other smiling…the eyes don’t lie folks!!! 

July 27, 2011 - 5:16 am Mary Marantz - Love!!

July 13, 2011 - 7:12 am adore amore - Thanks!!!

July 11, 2011 - 3:05 am Morning Glory Photography - Colors are so vibrant and rich! Wonderful! I like this couple!

Corey + Amber { Greenville Engagement Photographer }

Hello Beautifuls!!!

We’ve officially gone live with our new look!!! As I hang my head in shame, I wanted to share with you an engagement session shot earlier last year…yep…last year. I think I’ve become like one of those friends who, you know…who can make a kick-booty recipe, but doesn’t want to share the recipe with anyone…or maybe even a hoarder of some sort…one who likes to keep all the good stuff to myself and not share…or maybe I am just a procrastinator…who knows! All I know is that regardless of when these images were taken, love in classic, never-fading, always true. So here’s Amber and Corey.

These two have an amazing energy. I don’t think I’ve ever met any two people more perfect for another. Anywho…gotta get working on tomorrow’s post so enjoy!!!

August 18, 2011 - 2:55 am Pastel Photography - Beautifully captured great moments of love!

August 2, 2011 - 1:56 am Leila Khalil - Thos session is so awesome!!! I love them all!It is wonderful to see how well you captured their spirit!
