Fab Photog Shootout

Friends

1 Mar

Many times I feel that by being behind the camera 97% of the time I miss out on how truly nervous and uneasy clients sometimes are. Well… not this day!  I had the opportunity to ‘model’ for a group of fab photogs, and they did the same for me!  We had SO much fun plundering around abandoned buildings and traipsing through fields with furniture!  After our little photo shootout of each other and the group, we had a wonderful dinner at B. Simpson’s in Simpsonville.  This evening was very much needed for this mom-tog!  Here’s a little peek at our fun.

The group of Fab Photogs 🙂

Decided I would try my hand at practicing with my off-camera flash for a bit.  LOVED the results!  The sky was sooo beautiful.  As is HMK!  You can check out some of her work over on her blog where she talks a little about life, faith and photography 🙂

She TOTALLY rocked out the black leather jacket and heels (shown next!)!

Not only did we have one camera on us as we modeled, we had FOUR. OH my. 

And this is Regan of Fototales Photography. She is an awesome baby and child photographer; the modern type.  Which I love!  Click here to check out some of her work!

And this is Ping.  She is a strong woman; and a go-getter! And she has a very enthusiastic personality!  No wonder she makes a fab photog!  Click here to check out her work!

Oh, if only I had legs like that!

And our lovely Lisa.  She is just a genuine person all the way around.  She is the very photographer who started me down the correct path as I was beginning my journey– a mentor for me.  You can check out her work at this link; she does a fabulous job with weddings!  I also was able to photograph her maternity session about 7 months ago or so.

I’ve enjoyed getting to know these ladies over the past couple of months on a more personal basis away from Facebook 🙂 So what is in store for March ladies?

A few pictures from today! These boys had a great day at the high school division Phantom Open on Lake Murray representing the PAC Panthers! This was a state-wide tournament and there were around 150 teams total. They came home with 5th place- a 5-fish limit bag weighing 21.47lbs!

I love experiencing ‘firsts’ with my child; always have. And that doesn’t stop when they are teenagers. 🥰 February 21, 2026 was Gus’ first reenactment- the Battle of Aiken! You can tell by the black powder on his face, too, as that is the initiation. 😁

He planned for this day for a year. One of his buddies briefly mentioned after the 2025 one that they should look into being involved. Well, that conversation sparked a drive in this boy! Although the friend didn’t go onto being involved, Gus knew he would! So he saved up some money and purchased his gear. 

At the last minute, the unit he was originally registered with backed out of attending due to potential bad weather. So that left us scrambling. We told him not to worry and to just pack the vehicle with all his gear and we would just drive on to Aiken and figure it out when we get there. 😅 And by divine intervention, I’m sure of it, he ended up with the most wonderful unit of reenactors that he will continue with now, for years to come. 🙌🙏 

PS: he had his heart set on representing the South, but his unit was drafted to portray Union federalists at the last minute. 🤪

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to get away for a couple days with my grandma, mama, and two of my aunts! Such a blessing!!! 💜 We perused the beach for shells and at night played the game ‘Taco, Goat, Cat, Cheese, Pizza’ (there were only two games provided in the house 🤣); all of us came away with some type of bruise. 🤣 We also had the Stone family famous shrimp ‘n grits for breakfast one morning! This trip was such a treasure!
