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!

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.

I have been slow to finally get this blog posted, but since my sweet friend had her baby boy on Saturday, I think I should go ahead and get these online before I am posting the photos of her little bundle of squish!
Melody had never had maternity photos taken before. This is her 4th and last baby, and when she asked me, I understood immediately. I went through the same exact feelings when I finally decided to have maternity photos taken with 5th. There is something horribly sentimental about knowing that it will be the last time you carry a baby inside of you. It isn’t so much that I enjoy pregnancy (completely opposite in fact) but it was “the beginning of the end”… The start of all of the “lasts”.
The last time I will be pregnant.
The last time I will nurse a child.
The last time I will be a mom of young kids.
The last time I will hold my own child for the first time.
The last time…
When I had our 5th child, I have been hyper aware at how time is slipping away and continued to count all of “the last” moments as my Madie has grown and matured.
Is there excitement for the next chapter? Yes! But that doesn’t change being sentimental and appreciative of the current chapter that is almost over. So, so very much. Amazing new things are on the horizon. <3

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. ;-)

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

I had the pleasure of photographing Emily’s senior photos this past year, and was so happy when Mary asked me to do their family photos as well! I am sure you can see for yourself, but this family is just… Sweet. They love laughing and I enjoyed our time together so much!
