Something Green: Rock the Shot March Entry

March is almost over and April shower’s are just around the corner. As much as I like winter, I am ready to see some trees of green and red roses too. ;)

The folks over at Rock the Shot, www.rocktheshot.com, must feel the same way or they are excited about St Patrick’s Day, either way, the monthly contest is “Something Green”.

For my entry, I decided to throw back to a photo I took at Boone Hill Plantation in March of 2010. Sadly the gardens were not in full bloom in South Carolina in March, but the trees were awesome and they were the main reason that I wanted to visit the plantation. According to the tour guide, these particular oaks only grow in the south (makes this Ohioan sad), it takes 100 years to reach the size they are, and another 100 years to create the canopy. These trees have survived war and hurricanes. I recommend anyone travelling through Charleston, SC to consider spending some time at Boone Hill Plantation. Its beautiful and has a pretty spectacular history.

Welcome to the World Hudson!

Welcome to the World Hudson!

I am lucky be able to say that this handsome fellow is a relative. He would technically be my second cousin by marriage. Really close, right? Lol J

These photos are actually a combination from two photos sessions. The first session was at Hudson’s house and he just wasn’t happy to have visitors that day. I managed to get a handful of photos and we decided to do a second session a few days later, a day shy of him turning 3 weeks old. He was much happier and more relaxed at the second shoot, which happened to be at his grandparent’s house. His Nana Rita (my husband’s aunt) also happens to have a house much like an amazing antique shop, so we were able to find some great props we hadn’t planned on.

I was really excited to be able to do Hudson’s newborn photos, I can’t wait to watch him grow up and I am so thrilled for his Mama and Papa. They are just awesome people and they deserve such a sweet boy.

Thanks for stopping by!
