When Ashley contacted me about doing a photography session with her 2-year-old daughter, she mentioned she was a widow.  My heart hurt for her. Later, she told me a little more of her story: her husband, Sgt. Ian M. Tawney, USMC, gave his life for his country just 2 months before his first baby girl […]

My husband and I recently discovered this beautiful, quaint town of Beaufort, NC.  It has been voted the “coolest” small town in the US… and I definitely agree that it’s one of the cutest towns I’ve ever visited!  Needless to say, since it’s just around the corner from us, we had to take the grandparents […]

My family spent a wonderful, quiet Christmas at home.  We invited a few friends over to spend the afternoon/evening, but coming from a family of 10, it seemed really quiet to me!  I have been so thankful for the time to rest and enjoy my family this holiday season.  We had some family come to […]

What a joy it was to spend an afternoon with this wonderful family!  They have been SUCH a blessing to my husband and me in so many ways, and I had a blast spending the afternoon capturing some memories for them.   This busy family enjoys many things, one of which happens to be yogurt […]

I bought two pumpkins for these newborn sessions last month, and Kenny has been eyeing them ever since. When we carved jack-o-lanterns for Halloween and put an candle inside, he went crazy (yes, he loves fire!) and even learned a new word: “puk” for pumpkin! So you can only imagine how thrilled he was that I actually let him hold the pumpkins for his 15 month session!
