Greenville Photographer | Maternity Photos | Cara + David

This maternity session is crazy close to my heart & was such an honor to photograph!! In case you missed my post back in January… I am getting ready to be an aunt!!!!!  And an aunt to a little boy!! AHHH SOO STINKING EXCITED!!!!

A few months ago Cara asked me to send her the names of photographers where she lives since I now live in the Greenville/Spartanburg area.  Of course I sent her some of my favorites which also happen to be some of my dearest friends… but after her & David looked at them I got a text that said… “what if we flew you down here to take our maternity photos?”…. (AND LET ME SAY… I got the text not because she doesn’t love the photographers I sent it… it was because at the end of the day since I had Kenzie and my little sister dreamed of having her own baby she has said “I want you to be the one to take all of our family photos”)

Kendra Martin Photography | Greenville Photographer | Spartanburg Photographer | Maternity PhotosWell how on earth do you say no to that?  ESPECIALLY if it’s your little sister and her first baby!!!!!  I totally jumped at the opportunity to head back to TX to photograph Cara & David & soon to be baby O!!!

Kendra Martin Photography | Greenville Photographer | Spartanburg Photographer | Maternity PhotosKendra Martin Photography | Greenville Photographer | Spartanburg Photographer | Maternity PhotosY’all I am in love with these photos… but ohh geeze, this session (and by that I need to give you a little back story)… Houston and surrounding areas had been hit HARD by rain prior to me heading down to take these photos… which mix rain, standing water for a long period of time, and gross heat… produces GIGANTIC MOSQUITO’S… like the size of small birds (I’m really NOT kidding)!!!  The light that morning was amazing… my sister looked amazing… David, well he’ll say he ALWAYS looks amazing… but y’all it was nasty hot, muggy, and from the time we stepped out of the car we were ambushed by these enormous mosquito’s…. THANK GOODNESS my friend Nathalie that tagged along to the session with us had bug spray in her car… because without it, well I don’t think we would have come out of this session in one piece!!!! So yes I can “ohh geeze” this session for days because it was one that I will NOT forget!!!!

Photography is in my blood and seeking truth is in my soul. Which is a deep way of saying, I’ve loved to take photos for a really long time, y’all. I’d love to share my story with you then listen to yours.

 01

I met up with Sarah & Lee in downtown Spartanburg for their engagement session and it was the dreamiest evening. We walked around downtown talking about all the things from how they met, what they love to do and even a little wedding planning talk. These two are some of the easiest humans to be […]

Let me set the scene: Live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, waterfront backdrops that look like a Nicholas Sparks novel (but with less drama), and architecture that makes you want to whisper just out of respect. South Carolina is not messing around when it comes to wedding venues. Whether you’re planning an all-out wedding weekend […]

Kelsey & Tate were married overlooking Lake Norman at The Peninsula Club. The day was one of those days that you couldn’t beat weather wise. There was a cloud in the sky and it was just right with the temperature. Kelsey got ready with her ladies at her parents house where even her sweet pup […]
