Carrie Scruggs Photography ~ Charlotte North Carolina Child and Family Photographer~

Here is a photo of sweet little Lydia when she was only about 3 months old and look at the delightful and beautiful little girl at 2 years of age!

I have posted in the past that I joined an organization called The Littlest Heroes Project.  TLH provides complimentary photography services for children with serious illness or life altering disability.  Find out more here: Littlest Heroes Project

Meet Conner. 

He is a spunky little 4 year old that is just full of life!  He has such a wonderful spirit and is a real trooper.  Conner just celebrated his 4th birthday.  Conner was diagnosed with stage IV hepatoblastoma ( a rare form of liver cancer) just 5 weeks after his 2nd birthday.  His mother is happy to report that he is currently in remission!  Read more about Conner’s journey on their Caringbridge Journal

Conner is so happy to have received a wonderful gift from Make a Wish Foundation of a brand newplay set!  He loves it so much that his mother tells me that he even eats dinner up there!

Not only does Conner love his playset but he also loves to be a cowboy!  He got a fantastic spring pony for his birthday and we had a real showdown… shoot out with the whole family!

It started with a great chase….

Then came the showdown

The shootout:

What comes next…. but of course…. the Sheriff:

Meet the Cowboys….. Conner and Matthew

Conner also has a love for his best furry friend Saddie

Mom and Dad

After taking this photo Conner’s mom told me how she felt it represented their life.  Try as they might, Conner has to pull through this mostly on is own ….. and his pulling his family along with him…. with a little push here and there of course

Conner and family… I can’t tell you how wonderful it was to meet you all!!!!!!!!!!  May you have many endless wonderful days ahead of you to play cowboys together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XOXO, love

Carrie

July is already booked and I’m starting to book August already as well so I thought I’d go ahead and post my fall schedule.

I will be offering the mini sessions for Holiday cards again this year – details to be posted soon.

One new change for the fall is that all photo sessions must be prepaid within one week of booking to hold your date.  You can pay by check or credit/debit card – just let me know your preference.

Hi or should I say Guten Tag!

We are back from Germany and home for a couple of weeks before we head off again to visit my family in Indiana.  Well I say visit but it’s really to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday… Yay!

Just a quick heads up that believe it or not… it’s almost time to start thinking about booking your fall photo sessions if you want photos for Christmas/Holiday cards. 

I will put up a calendar in Aug. as to what days I have available.  My kids will be in sports this fall so I will be limiting session and only shooting two weekends per month (I also have to leave some room for rainouts etc).

Also… I will be introducing some new “Collections” that I have been working on and a few product updates so stayed tuned!

In the meantime, here are a few photos from our recent journey to Germany:

This is the castle we stayed a night in!
