LIFESTYLE | Duncan | Columbia, SC Children Portrait Photographer

Meet Duncan! He’s such a cool kid! He said he wants to be a comedian when he grows up…I asked him if he could tell me one of his jokes and he obliged…

Duncan: “What do mice say when they get their picture taken?”

Me: “I don’t know…”

Duncan: “CHEESE”

He said he came up with this joke on the spot…so creative! Thanks for making me laugh Duncan! 🙂

SENIOR | Emma and Clara | Columbia, SC High School Portrait Photographer

What a super cool senior shoot with these two best friends!! Meet Emma and Clara!! (FYI – You may recognize Emma, she is one of my 2012 CHP Senior Reps.) Emma’s mom, Cheryl, contacted me and said that she wanted to surprise Emma and her best friend, Clara, with a photo shoot before they go off to college. I asked Cheryl what location they wanted to go to and they said the Horseshoe at USC. I said, sounds great! I also mentioned to Cheryl that I kept seeing photos of Emma (and Clara too) with several different USC baseball players pop up on Facebook, Instagram, etc…I suggested that we should go to USC’s baseball stadium to capture a few photos of Emma and Clara together since they are “head over heels” for baseball players! 🙂 We managed to pull a few strings the day of the photo shoot and were able to make it inside the stadium! They said it was the first time anyone has every done something like this before, which was SUPER COOL! We had a limited about of time for the photo shoot so we had to be quick…I think we came up with some cool ideas…let me know what you think about this FUN senior shoot!

P.S. ATTENTION UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA BASEBALL PLAYERS…If you are reading this…Emma and Clara are your biggest fans!!!!! (If you couldn’t already tell) 🙂

2012 SENIOR REP : Callie

I’ve been so blessed this year with an AMAZING group of Senior Reps! Each one of them has their own personality and uniqueness!  So with that in mind, I thought I would do something different with my 2012 Senior Reps and do a personal interview with each of them so you can get to know them better. Each week I’m going to “spotlight” a 2012 Senior Rep for CHP. The next lucky person chosen is Miss Callie!

What High School do you attend?
Chapin High School

After college what are your plans?
To go to Medical School

How would you describe your fashion style?
A little bit of everything! Probably urban, but I like to be a little different from everyone else also.

Do you have any nicknames? If so, what’s the story behind it?
Most of my friends call me Cal, which I’d say is pretty self explanatory! Just a shortened version of my name! But my best friend, Taylor Till, has called me pig ever since we were little because I absolutely love to eat!

Complete the sentence, “Always remember to…”
Always remember to smile and be yourself. This probably sounds pretty cliché but I don’t know what could be more important than being yourself, I think it’s important to be different and unique.

If you had to cook a meal form Craig Hewitt Photography, what would you cook?
Well, I am a terrible cook! But if I could cook I would make fettuccine alfredo and Greek salad, my favorite! And red velvet cake for dessert!

Name the top 3 things you can’t live without and why?
I couldn’t live without my family, friends, and my camera. My family and friends are the most important things in my life and my camera because pictures are the best way to keep memories.

What would you do if you had a million dollars?
I would buy a house on the lake for my family and me, and probably invest the rest for later in my life for my own family.

What do you like most about Craig Hewitt Photography?
There are so many things I love about Craig Hewitt Photography. Each shoot is creative and unique and he makes you feel extremely comfortable. He cares so much about his clients and treats them as a part of his family.

Thanks Cal, Pig  Callie  for being YOU! You are an outstanding individual and a perfect fit for a CHP Senior Rep!

2012 SENIOR REP : Morgan C

I’ve been so blessed this year with an AMAZING group of Senior Reps! Each one of them has their own personality and uniqueness!  So with that in mind, I thought I would do something different with my 2012 Senior Reps and do a personal interview with each of them so you can get to know them better. Each week I’m going to “spotlight” a 2012 Senior Rep for CHP. The next lucky person chosen is Miss Morgan C!

What High School do you attend?
Spring Valley High School

After college what are your plans?
After college I hope to have a successful career in Athletic Training or Physical Therapy.  I would also love to get married and start a family!

How would you describe your fashion style?
Hmm…I guess you could say my style is preppy and cute. I love Anthropologie and Lily!!

Do you have any nicknames? If so, what’s the story behind it?
Most people call me Conde, but my favorite nickname is One Bite. This nickname was given to me by one of our family friends, Mr. Dent, because he says I only eat one bite of whatever food I have.  The name just stuck, but we all joke that sooner or later I’ll be called two bite.

What experiences make you who you are?
I’d say being a cheerleader has definitely shaped who I am.  It’s taught me leadership and teamwork.  I’ve definitely learned how to be a leader and make the right decisions even when it’s not the easy thing to do and how to work together with a big group to achieve one common goal.  Cheerleading has always been and big part of my life and it’s taught me many things that I will always remember.

What’s the longest you’ve gone without a shower? Why?
The longest I’ve gone without a shower was a day and a half when I we went on a field trip to NYC. We left South Carolina at 5 pm and drove though the night and got to the city in the morning, but they wouldn’t let us go to the hotel until really late that night so I waited to shower until the next morning.

 

Fill in the blank…what’s your favorite:
Snack: Goldfish without a doubt!

Book: I know it’s a children’s book but I LOVE Guess How Much I Love You.

TV Show: Dance Moms

Indulgence: Anything chocolate 🙂

If I came to your home and looked inside the refrigerator, what would I find?
You’d probably find the typical things like eggs, milk, and butter but you’d also be surprised to find every salad dressing known to man.  My mom has been on a search to find a great salad dressing…needless to say she’s still looking and so the collection keeps growing!!

What do you like most about Craig Hewitt Photography?
I love the experience Craig Hewitt Photography has given me.  I felt so special having professional pictures taken, but it was such a relaxed and easy thing to do.  I also loved getting to meet Craig and all of the other 2012 Senior Reps; everyone is just so nice!! I can truly say that when I’m old and wrinkly I’m going to think about this experience and I know it will bring a smile to my face.

Thanks Conde, One Bite  Morgan C for being YOU! You are an outstanding individual and a perfect fit for a CHP Senior Rep!
