Adrianne and I were great friends in high school – we’ve stayed in touch through FACEBOOK and I took her engagement pictures two years ago – September 3rd to be exact! It was the day I found out I was pregnant with Fitzy!
She and her hubbie have a little sweetie of their own now!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE those pictures!
OH MY WORD!
I cannot even deal with the cuteness in those photos!
Adrianne – I had such a great time with you guys! Can’t wait to watch AJ grow! She is SO cute!
As I write this – Fitzy is 20 months! CRAZINESS!
I took these the week after thanksgiving to mark his 19th month!
I am so happy to call you mine – while God lends you to me!
This family holds a special place in my heart! I’ve known them since little *E * was in his momma’s belly! I’ve photographed them at least once every 6 months since then (usually every 3 months) and it’s gonna start all over again with a new baby on the way!
Dustin is serving our country and won’t be home for Christmas – so they celebrated over Thanksgiving.
I am so BLESSED to be capturing this year for you while Dustin is serving! It’s bittersweet for sure – but I’m glad you’ll be in front of my lens so often!
Julie and her family won a photo session when Amy submitted them for the annual BEAUTIFUL contest!
She booked a session with me for minis in November – but since it was such a small turnout – I took them on a Sunday afternoon in November!
Thanks SO much for asking me to capture your Christmas memories!
I LOVE this family! I’ve been photographing them since Lauren was pregnant with little *L*!
GORGEOUS!
He reminds me SO much of Fitzy – except for those amazing blue eyes!
Thanks SO much for asking me to capture your memories!
We spent the week with my parents for Thanksgiving and since my parents are visiting my brother for Christmas – we opened our gifts then!
He LOVES his ornament from Samm!
He loves this puzzle too! We put it together at least 10 times a day!
He is such a little chef! We call him Remy!
I got these ornaments for my brother-in-law – Xavier. When he was little his parents told him that the mice were helpers for Santa. He would stare at them for hours – willing them to come to life. It’s one of his fondest memories! He was so excited to see them again!
I made this Simba for my nephew Judah – I LOVE IT!
I made this nesting doll for my niece Rowyn!
And a rooster for Fitzy!
This owl for my friend Stephanie and her new baby boy was the inspiration for all the little sewing projects!
I am so thankful for our amazing families! I’ll post later about our Christmas with Jared’s parents!
I put our Christmas tree up REALLY early – before Thanksgiving – I just had to!
LOOK AT THAT HAPPY FACE!
Fitzy is doing so awesome! He LOVES to play with his little kitchen! He loves to carry balls of yarn around and unroll them – much to my dismay! He carries around Jared’s striped shirt and says – daddy’s shirt! He points to himself and says – Fitzy’s shirt – but he says his name like – Itzy! SO CUTE!
He isn’t really running – just walking really fast. He LOVES cheese and marshmallows – the two words he says ALL DAY!
I cannot WAIT to experience Christmas with him!
For the month of December – we are doing a 25 days of kindness for Christmas!

I am SO excited to start this tradition and waive gifts for Jared and I (which we normally do anyway) in place of sharing the LOVE and JOY of Jesus during the month of December!
I can’t wait to see the excitement on Fitzy’s face as he gets older and can really understand the season of giving and love!
I’ve mentioned before how much I love Nicole & Dustin! I can’t believe that their little guy is 2 already!
SO CUTE!
THOSE COOKIES WERE AMAZING!
LOVE!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET BOY!
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!
*N* is a MIRACLE baby! He’s had numerous surgeries on his little heart and is now home!
LOOK AT THAT FACE!
He is such a serious little guy!
Jackie – thank you SO much for asking me to capture your moments! God is SO good!
