Over these past 7 (almost 8) years of shooting professionally, I have been invited in to so many different beautiful lives, and given a glimpse of what makes their heart truly happy. I ask about a combination of history, family, possessions and moments in my “preparation questionnaire” that all of my clients receive, as we plan out the details of their session. You see, those things, places and people give context for their images. It gives the viewer (even if they are a stranger) a peek in to the interests and heart of those who are represented in the images. Even more importantly though, the images will represent all the sweetness of this very moment in time to their owner. Right now. Before anything changes. I ask about interests in my questionnaire, because those interests are a reflection of who that person is, and what they choose to pour themselves in to and spend their time investing in.
When Nena asked me to come to the air field to take photos with her airplane and her grand babies, I just couldn’t resist. I am always game for changing things up (If you hadn’t noticed, I typically plant myself in the middle of a grass field, not an air field. lol) and immediately looked forward to getting a peek in to the source of her joy. As we talked, it was quite obvious that one of her favorite things to do is to “hop over” to Atlanta in her air plane to visit her grand kids. <3
I have had such a fun time editing these images. Sometimes, having a fresh perspective and a change of scenery is good for the soul. <3

Every once in a long while, I come across a session that makes me sad when I finish it. Not because there is anything wrong, but because I have enjoyed working on the images so much, that I hate to not have a reason to continue playing with, and looking at the sweet moments.
This is going to be one of those sessions. I can already tell. <3
It wasn’t too hot, the light was perfect, and all of the details just fell in to place. I can’t help but grin as I work through their gallery, fine tuning these memories for them to have for always. These images will forever be a part of their visual history, and I couldn’t be happier about how they turned out!!!
Tori and Devin, I hope you love them as much as I do. <3

I have been photographing this sweet little guy ever since he was in his beautiful mamas belly for her maternity photos. Then I got to take his newborn photos, and that was just such a joy to see the difference in his big brothers in such a short time. No this. OH MY GOODNESS! It didn’t take hardly anything to get the most adorable scrunchy nose grins from him. He is such a happy baby, and as you can tell, his big brothers think he is pretty great too. <3

The first time I photographed this family was in 2013. Leann was quite literally one of my first clients. To be honest, not many people who came to me back when I was $150 for 30 images have stuck with me through all of the changes over these past 7 years. I have grown professionally, my quality has gotten SO MUCH better, and of course, my prices have increased right along with my skill and education. I know all too well that budgets and pricing matters when you are looking for a photographer, and the names of so many amazing and sweet families have come to mind each time I have had to change my prices.
Just because I understand that those sweet families must find someone else that fits within their budget, doesn’t mean that it makes my heart hurt any less to see them go. Not because I “lost a client”, but because I absolutely LOVE seeing these precious families grow! I love documenting those changes. I love that I get to be a part of those special moments, and preserve them forever. It is a privilege that I don’t ever take for granted.
BUT
If I don’t fit your budget, I WANT you to find someone else! PLEASE document your families moments. Make it a priority, because these babies won’t keep. Your life is amazing! Find someone who can see the beauty in your unique reality. These precious children will grow up and a frighteningly fast speed, and if you don’t make sure to pay attention, document, and remember them just as they are now, these moments will slip away.
So when I look at these, and remember back to that first time I met Leann for her first family session, when she only had 3 kiddos, I see so many moments, growth, love and lots and lots of snuggles.
Thank you for choosing me, but also coming back, again and again, all these years. <3

If only everyone’s back yard looked like this… <3
But seriously, when she told me that the key to the mower had been lost, and the back yard was covered in yellow flowers, I just KNEW these would be amazing!
Berry picking, walking, jumping, flowers, exploring… It’s what memories are made of, and for this sweet family, all of those things can be found right outside their back door!

One of my most favorite parts about being a photographer, is that I am asked to be a part and see the most beautiful and special times of life. This sweet little bug was the last person I photographed before all of the social distancing started, and I am SO GLAD that the timing worked out! I had the beautiful privilege of documenting his big brother when he was just as new, and I would have been so sad to have missed the opportunity to photograph his little brother.
It is truly a special thing to go in to someones home, their private space, and document intimate, and authentic emotions. I have seen so much beauty and love over these past 7 years, as I have looked through my lens. I can honestly say, that what has pushed me forward, in my skill and education, is the desire to do these moments justice. To document them not just as they were, but also how they felt. I want the images I take, to remind those that are in them, how their new baby smelled, their weight, their tiny details that melt away with time, and to bring back the first person memories associated with that time of their life.
Photos for me aren’t just to document. They are ultimately for memory preservation. They are the insurance that I invest in, so I know without a doubt, that I will never forget all of the things about the people I love the most in this life. They are my visual time capsule, and I want that for every person that steps in front of my lens as well.
Photography is the gift of never forgetting, and speaking as a mother, that is a priceless thing to have. <3

Time flies doesn’t it? I remember having my second baby, and excitedly waiting to have my oldest meet his new baby sister. I remember that first time that I picked up my oldest son, who was only 2 years old at the time, and the strange feeling of realizing how big, this child who was my “baby” only 24 hours earlier, he had become literally overnight. Watching him grow in to an amazing big brother, and also struggle with it at times was hard and beautiful all at the same time. We can not grow without change, but change can be uncomfortable. I love looking back through the photos I took during that period of our life, remembering all of the little things that I never want to forget.
My favorite part of photographing young families is how it helps me remember my personal moments with my own children. It is a beautiful gift to be reminded of something precious about those you love, because really, photos are most valuable to us because they have the power to help us remember. They are the visual history of your family, the items that insure that those memories never slip away, and that makes them priceless. <3

They have been through a lot these past 10 years… He serves in the military and has a deployment schedule that takes him away from those he loves the most for almost half of each year. She has moved away from family and friends, and is raising these sweet little humans on her own 50% of the time. Sure, half of their relationship happens over text and FaceTime, but they do it because it is worth it.
Is it hard? Absolutely, but they are also thriving! Sometimes the hard things are the ones that are the most “worth it” in the end. I am SO proud to call these people my family. My brother, my kids cousins, my sister. They are strong and work and fight for what they love.
I can’t think of anything more beautiful than that.

You know what happens when one of your best friends has a baby? You bribe her with pictures to get her to bring him over so you can snuggle her new little squish!
You know what happens when you are stuck at home for over a week with no end in sight? You finally get caught up on all of the blogging that you are behind on and have been avoiding for months! lol
But in all seriousness, how adorable are these sweet kiddos? Their mama has the most amazing taste in clothing. (she knows yellow is my fave <3 ) But on top of that, I can’t imagine a more adorable and sweet set of kids. Melody and I are secretly hoping that we can somehow get one of hers married to one of mine some day! #fingerscrossed

I have said it before, but I feel like I need to say it again. I love working with these beautiful humans. I have had the pleasure of being “their photographer” for the past few years, and I just LOVE working with them!!! <3
Their newest little peanut didn’t really want to sleep, but we found quickly that she would settle as long as she was touching her daddy’s hand. I mean…. HOW SWEET IS THAT?!?!?! So yah, I think it is safe to say that this little one has made it close to the top of my “favorite newborn images” list. lol
If you want to see their past sessions, here are all the links. ;-)
