Hilton Head adventure…ready for a swim?
How many photographers do you know that travel to your session with a paramedic and a life guard? The paramedic is normal - but the lifeguard is optional. I know I should have been a girl scout - I always prefer to be over prepared for whatever. This week it came in handy. I was photographing this beautiful family on a dock when their two year old decided to go for a swim. He momentarily forgot that he could not swim - so in goes my lifeguard/assistant. His cell phone was safe - so life is still good!
Mom and I agree that her two year old is cute even wet - don’t you think so?
I photographed mom and dad’s wedding and have photographed their guys since birth. They have made lots of trips to Statesboro - but this was my chance to travel to them. They have a beautiful new house and we were creating portraits - since obviously wall space is no longer a problem.
Thank goodness we had some great images before the adventure began. Tyler - my assistant photographer did not think a second - before he was in the water. Maybe I should relax the dress code for future outdoor sessions near water! In 21 years - I must say this is the first time we have had to dive in after someone. But we were prepared. Chalk it up to yet another Lori Grice difference.![]()

Happy Birthday Blog! When I launched this blog last year I had no idea how popular it would become. Thanks to you in just one short year my blog has become one of the most widely read photography blogs in the world! Is the internet amazing or what? I really appreciate all of your comments and suggestions. Yes I know many of you are addicted and I promise to make next year's entries even more touching and exciting. Hope to see all of you in the studio SOON!
