Amber and her boys have been FAITHFUL clients for quite some time!
She was my sister’s best friend growing up – and I used to tag-along quite often with my sister when we were younger – so the three of us hung out quite a bit!
I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!
I love that my clients are loving their lifestyle sessions!
Amber – thank you SO much for meeting in the middle! Can’t wait to see you guys next year!
I met with Patriece and her boys on a LOVELY afternoon late in the fall – but it turned out to be one of the most beautiful evenings of the season!
The little guy was reluctant to warm up to me – but once I let them just be – he warmed RIGHT UP!
Brothers – such a special bond! I hope to see you guys again soon!
Several years ago – my friend Ariel told me about her friend Sierra – they were young mothers together and Sierra was expecting her 3rd baby – a 3rd boy! That little boy was born in August and my little E was born in November. And now Sierra isn’t just the friend of a friend – she’s become one of my dearest friends!
And she has a 4th baby – their first girl!
There’s that 3rd little baby – he’s not so little anymore!
OH MY WORD! Isn’t she PRECIOUS!
You might recognize Sierra from previous sessions! I took a few maternity shots for her and then had the absolute honor of being at this little darling’s birth! And her sweet newborn session!
THAT LOVELY LIGHT!
Oldest and youngest. A special bond!
Sierra – I am so thankful that you are in my life! I often forget that you are so much younger than me! You are certainly wise beyond your years!
I had been talking with Deanne for quite a WHILE about booking a family session – and when we finally got everyone on the same schedule – it started to rain!
WHAT! UGH!
FUNFACT – I rarely pay attention to the weather because it stresses me out – but we decided to keep the session and hope the sprinkles stayed just that – SPRINKLES!
I think we made the right decision!
OH MY HEART! SISTERS!
GRANDPARENTS – NOTHING ELSE ON EARTH LIKE GRANDPARENTS!
That image on the right – as a momma of boys – melts my heart!
These are my FAVORITE shots – the ones that just HAPPEN!
Deanne – thank you so much for asking me to photograph your sweet family! I hope we can get together again!
I’ve been taking pictures of this sweet family for the last four years I think!
I couldn’t WAIT until this session – they are SO fun and photogenic!
OH MY HEART! These first four pictures made me so happy! THIS IS EXACTLY what I have been wanting to capture!
LIFE. IN. MOTION.
Fitzy goes to Kindergarten with that sweet soul!
These girlies are sometimes slow to warm up to me – but these shots – jut letting them BE – made the biggest difference!
ADORABLE!
SO PRECIOUS! She will probably be in class with Enoch!
THOSE LITTLE PIGGIES!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for having me capture your growing family year after year! I look forward to it every year!
CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER!
Kiel is another little fighter!
Please pray for Kiel – for a miracle!
Nicky – I am honored to have captured this time for your family!
STAY STRONG!
A long time ago – I started a BEAUTIFUL contest. You submit a family and they win a free session!
Jackie and her family were the some of the FIRST winners of that contest – a contest I now hold every February!
I’ve mentioned before how I love photographing families year-to-year!
This one – was a hard one. It’s always hard when someone is missing.
Nicholas is Jackie & Scott’s firstborn – a fighter! A ray of sunshine! And he is greatly missed!
Jackie & Scott – I LOVE YOU GUYS! Thank you for sharing your lives and your story with me.
The month of February holds two pivotal days for this family – Nicholas’s birthday and the day he left this earth.
Please pray for Jackie & Scott and their families and friends as they navigate through this month.
The lives that Nicholas is touching – the hearts. It’s absolutely beautiful!
People often say – OH – I wish I could have you take pictures – but it’s a big expense.
I will agree with you – it is a big expense! And one that you will NOT regret!
ESPECIALLY when it comes to birthday parties! When you have a baby (or in this case – TWO) – most likely – you DREAM about their first birthday party! And chances are – that you are so focused on every little perfect detail and capturing their faces – that you miss out on really truly enjoying the event!
Here’s where I come in – ask me to come capture their birthday party. You can relax. Sit back. Instead of being on the other side (behind the camera) you can actually enjoy WITH THEM. And – AND BE IN THE PICTURES!
I was so excited when Andrea asked me to take pictures of their little guys turning ONE! Almost a year ago NOW!
ADORABLE!
I just LOVE those shots!
OH BOY!
You probably know by now – I LOVE CHUBBY BABIES! LOOK AT HIS CHEEKS!
Andrea & Kyle – thank you SO much for asking me to come capture their birthday! It was great knowing that you could just sit back and relax and enjoy the day and those sweet boys!
I can’t WAIT to see you all again!
NOTHING in the WORLD like GRANDCHILDREN!
I JUST LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for asking me to capture your families!
THE BEAUTIFUL WINNERS from 2016!
Angie and her little girl – a story of love and redemption!
Love – is different than you’d think – it’s never in a song – or on a TV screen. And love – is harder than a word – said at the right time – and everything’s alright. Love is different than you’d think. – that’s from a Caedmon’s Call song – but OH SO FITTING!
