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!

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. ;-)

Y’all. I am most definitely not an official “pet photographer”…
However
I am completely addicted to documenting relationships, and this right here is exactly that. <3 I get requests somewhat regularly from clients to see if it is OK to bring their pet along with them to their shoot. My answer? “If you consider them to be a part of your family, ABSOLUTELY bring them!”
I also don’t shoot family sessions the months of December and January. I do allow for time sensitive circumstances such as a newborn, maternity and end of life situations…
When Ben contacted me, he explained that Ripley didn’t have much time left and he desperately wanted to document this pup that he considers family. ” I don’t suspect he’ll be around in a few weeks as he has bad arthritis and potentially some internal issue.” It broke my heart and couldn’t imagine saying no! As I have sat here in this chair editing all of these images, I can hear Ben talking to Ripley all through the session, just like you would your best friend. What they have is something really special, and as sad as I am for their time together drawing to a close, I am so very glad that Ben realized, before it was too late, how valuable having images of those you love, truly is.
I think Ripley has a similar smile to Harrison Ford. ;-)

I absolutely love watching families grow. I had the sweet opportunity to document the special time before their family changed forever with a family maternity session not long ago. I was overjoyed when she asked if I would do baby Mark’s newborn photos as well. <3
As I watched their oldest with “baby Mark”, he reminded me so much of my own oldest son, who was SO gentle and loving with our babies as we brought each one of them home. He would stroke his head, be concerned when he would cry, and did such a great job being careful not to bump him while we were playing on the bed.
These moments and memories are some of the most precious. As much as I try to shoot for technical “perfection” (or as close as anyone can get with kids that are always on the move), my real goal is to document and preserve those memories of the little things forever.
“Hindsight is 20/20”
Sometimes in the mess and the exhaustion of motherhood, it’s hard to see the moments for what they truly are as they are unfolding. The stress and pressure of parenthood is a very real thing. My hope for the families that I document, is that they are able to feel and remember the moments for what they truly were, without the stress and mess to cloud the view. It’s not about perfection, but instead, documenting the sweetness and simplicity that lasts for such a short time. I want the images to remind them of the beauty of “right now” every single time they see them.
I know there are wonderful parts about every stage in life, but THIS is one that I don’t ever want to forget, and I want to give that gift to other mamas as well.

Goodness. I can’t tell you how blessed I have been when God has brought the most wonderful people across my path through photography.
This sweet couple not only has an amazing story about how they met, but they had the same dream for owning land. They now have a wonderfully large and GORGEOUS piece of property that they plan to raise their children on and protect for generations to come. Y’all, seriously, the way their eyes lit up as they told me the history of the property, their plans, and dreams of building, I couldn’t help but be overwhelmingly excited for them. Can you tell that they love animals too? They are such a big part of their story, and watching them love on their animals, finding so much joy in their presence was so sweet.
As they prepare to take the next step of growing their family through adoption, I was SO happy they asked me to document their life, right now, before it changes. I can’t wait to watch their family grow over time!!!
You won’t find a more genuine and beautiful set of humans, and I am so grateful to have met them both. <3
