The (whole) Carter Family | Hartwell, Georgia Family Photographer

If it seems as if we've done several sessions in short succession with this family it's most definitely because we have!

When Levi was born, Lucy contacted us about doing a family session with wee Levi.  However, our schedules and their schedules didn't synch.  Newborns change so, so fast (I see you mommies out there, nodding your heads) that waiting until he was three and a half weeks old was out of the question.  So we shot Levi's newborn photos on August 9th.  Finally, on Saturday the 21st, we were able meet up with the whole Carter family for a session.  The rain scratched all plans of some sun-kissed-sprawled-out-in-the-grass photos; never fear, Curt and Lucy were all set up for indoor photographs.  Sara Beth was a doll, but that's not a surprise to anyone who knows her.  Levi was once again a cooperative model, but managed to pee on both his father and mother in a ten minute period. 






In case you're wondering, there's no particular reason why some photos are color, some are black and white and some are both.  Sometimes it's done at the client's request, but most of the time it's just a 'feel' thing.  I go by the emotion I want to evoke and the reaction I hope the viewer will have. 

The full Carter family album is showcased here, along with Levi's newborn photographs
