I grew up in Seattle, WA. I’m a proud fan of recycling, Mariner’s baseball, beautiful snow capped mountains and Ivar’s clam chowder. When I was in high school my family relocated from Seattle to Ridgeland, South Carolina. Two BIG words : Culture & Shock. There were a lot of differences and accommodations to be made by the locals as well as our family BUT I had the opportunity to make wonderful friends and truly learn how to appreciate a little rest and relaxation. I go back to South Carolina about every six months or so to visit some great friends I have there. This time I decided to try and mix a little business with pleasure. Enter: Lauren. I’m going to give Lauren the biggest fan residing in the great lowcountry award. She all but spearheaded my trip down there and rallied the troops to try and get as many sessions as possible! I loved working with her, her brother and a best friend, Jennifer. Here are some photos from our mini sessions!

Lauren and her younger brother Jeremy took photos as a gift for their mom!

Gotta love those Carolina pines!

and mother to be Jennifer (with baby London coming soon) and her daughter Rylynn.

We finished with a few of the ladies together.

We’ll keep you posted on possible mini sessions in Ridgeland, SC, when we plan our next trip!

Birthdays are a big deal to me. Really, one day a year where everyone you care about celebrates your existence! Sign me up, lol. I’ve had a few birthdays, 24 to be exact, but today, though not my birthday, was very special because I got to take photos of a very precious little girl on her 6th birthday. I feel six is an important one and I’m sure Elise does too. My gift for her (and her parents) was just a few photos of a beautiful girl on her one and only 6th birthday! It’s a little past midnight in our time zone but I know she has people in Michigan who wished they could have been there so I’m going to still count this as being posted on her birthday. Happy birthday Elise, I’m so glad I could come to your party! As if one little blue eyed blonde haired beauty isn’t enough, there’s another! trust me, I know it’s out of control how pretty they are! I’m sure their dad is pretty aware and is already preparing to fend off the boys! A shot of the whole family! Thanks for letting me “crash” the party guys! And Erin, I agree, the frosting was AMAZING.

Really, it’s hard to imagine many better ways to enjoy a Saturday morning than skipping around a beautiful park with three lovely little girls! Oh, and their fun and cute parents too! That’s what I did this Saturday with the Wilsons! Enjoy a few photos from their family session!

Meet: Joanna, the oldest.

Naomi, the second oldest

and Gracie, the youngest.

I love sisters. My sister and I are pretty close and these girls seem to be too!

We had a great time, and even let mom and dad in on some of the photos too.

Thank you Wilson family for letting us be a part of your lives!

The Harms were a wonderful family to work with. Sweet Lydia lit up when she had the chance to run around and especially loved jumping into her dad’s open arms. The four of us had a great time kicking through the leaves and capturing memories of their family during the second round of Fall Mini Sessions. Thank you all for letting me be a part of your memories of this precious time in your family’s life!

Love this squishy face!

Hello! I know it’s been a while since I’ve been able to update more than once but I promise it’s for good reason. I’m so happy to share with you these photos of the great Lozier family though now one is a Dunn. I hope these will inspire you as your family gets ready for the Holiday season. For the first time we’re offering Fall Mini Sessions! ! These are 20 minute sessions with your family, no matter how large or small, with a CD of full resolution images coming your way shortly after! The mini shoots will be done on October 24th and 25th at Peaks View Park in Lynchburg, VA. If you’re interested please shoot me an e-mail at sabrena@scarterstudios.com.

Now back to the good stuff…

Meet Mama and Papa Lozier. They have four kids (3 handsome sons and 1 great looking daughter) and 7 grandkids! They brought me down a day early to Amy’s wedding to take some long awaited family portraits for them.

From Oldest to Youngest….
