I cannot believe that it’s been a year since I photographed little *L* upon her arrival!
I am so thankful that Sabrina asked me to capture her 1st birthday party!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the ideas she incorporated!
LOOK AT THAT FACE!
Sabrina – thank you SO much again! I can’t wait to see you guys this summer!
It’s time for BEAUTIFUL again!

Mariah and I met on FACEBOOK!
We met for our session on a chilly afternoon – but it worked GREAT for our pictures!
LOVE THAT SHOT!
Mariah – thanks SO much for asking me capture you! Have a GREAT senior year!
I love my . baby . clients – but they seem to grow SO fast!
OH MY WORD!
LOVE THOSE EYELASHES!
Arica – I love love LOVE photographing your little guy! He is just so cute!
*C* was such a sweet little girl to photograph – I couldn’t get over how petite she is!
SHE IS SUCH A SWEETIE!!
Louise – thanks so much for inviting me into your home! I loved spending time with your little one!
Sheri has two of the cutest little kids!
Her little girl is betrothed to Fitzy!
OH MY WORD!
*L* told me that he reads the paper EVERY SINGLE DAY! So we had to get a picture of that!
I love love LOVE that top picture!
She was such a little model for me!
Look at those two little teeth!
LOOK AT HER! She is such a doll!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that dresser! And those shots!
Sheri – thank you SO much for having me into your home! I cannot WAIT to capture your family this summer!
Baby *E* made his debut on Fitzy’s 8 month birthday! He is one of the five certain miracles we had been praying for – the third one to show his beautiful face!
He is tiny and sweet – such a little miracle!
OH MY HEART!
I can’t even remember Fitzy being that tiny! They are just so perfect!
Melanie – he is BEAUTIFUL! I am so happy for you!
I met Megan over facebook – I think (I can hardly remember anymore)!
Last year I was sick for my New Year’s Eve wedding and called her as a back-up if I needed one. Thankfully I pushed through the wedding and she was able to spend her New Year’s with her hubby! I was so thankful that she was on call for me though!
We have since become good friends – which I truly appreciate – with her being a local photographer! She is an encouragement to me in my work and my life! She is sweet and kind and loves Jesus!
When she came to take some newborn pictures of Fitzy – I remember her cradling him and saying how she and Seth ached for a baby and were waiting as patiently as they could. Little did she know that she was JUST pregnant when she was kissing that sweet boy of mine!
Little *J* should be here next month – he is one of the 5 certain miracles we had been praying for!
She had a vision for their maternity pictures – to make a prayer book for *J*! Such a great idea!
They prayed for this health – for him to always have a home – to never be hungry – to love books – to play make believe – to know Jesus’ love!
The book she made is BEAUTIFUL!
Praying that he will ALWAYS know their love!
HOW GORGEOUS IS SHE!
It was CRAZY windy and FRIGID the day we decided to shoot – but they were troopers!
They pray that *J* will love learning!
They pray that he will always enjoy laughter!
It’s funny that my favorite shots are usually the last ones!
Megan & Seth – I am so thankful that our paths crossed! I cannot WAIT to see little *J* and watch you experience him!
Erin and I scheduled this session almost a year ago – we had to reschedule when she found out they were expecting!
LOVE THAT SHOT!
Sisters – I love sisters!
SO SWEET!
Erin – thank you SO much for having me over to capture your sweet little girls!
Little *A* decided to make his way into the world a little early – he knew his parents wanted to hold him!
*A* was the first of 5 certain miracles we had been praying for! I was out of town on his actual birthday so I didn’t get to photograph his birth – but I stopped by the day after to get some cuddles in!
How perfectly precious!
We met up a week later for his newborn session!
LOVE LOVE LOVE those ones!
They have been waiting YEARS for this miracle boy!
Missy & Cody – I am SO happy for you! I can’t wait for *A* and Fitzy to grow up together!
