This has been a fun year of firsts in my photography business.  This past weekend, I did my first maternity session with some very dear friends of mine (who also happened to be the most *perfect* models!)  They are so in love that they didn’t really need much posing–they were just themselves, enjoying life and […]

I was a little nervous for this newborn session because Charlotte was already 27 days old… that doesn’t sound like much, but in newborn photography, the ideal age is 5-10 days.  After that, babies tend to be much more awake and alert, and are harder to pose.  BUT Charlotte was simply amazing!  Her big brother […]

I have been looking forward to this session for some time!  This family has been a huge blessing and help to ours, and it was great to spend an afternoon capturing some wonderful memories for them!  We had the added blessing of grandparents who came along to help with the kids, and I’m so glad […]

One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is that I get to capture so many special moments with my two favorite guys!  I dragged them along to scout out a new location where I am planning a family session next week, and of course, I had to bring along the camera.  We found […]

Little Braylee won my cake smash photography contest giveaway, and I got to meet her in person last week for her one year/cake smash session.  She came FULL of smiles and life–what fun we had!  Her little expressions brought back the memories of my baby boy’s cake smash that was only yesterday… I mean… 7 […]

Since I’m not a wedding photographer, I don’t get the opportunity to do many engagement sessions, and I’m SO glad Danielle and Randy allowed me to capture some beautiful memories for them!  Two amazing people united by the providence of God, Whose love is very evident in both their lives! It was a bit of […]

Little Lauren was just 1 week old when I met her, and she was the best, sleepiest newborn model I have had yet!  She seriously snoozed almost the entire session, and after I had gotten all the pics I planned for, she was still soooo sleepy!  Not only did Lauren set a new record for […]

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 […]

Just a warning… this blog post is far more detailed and scientific than most of mine are: it’s meant for those who are interested in the mechanics of using a large window as a natural light source for a newborn (or really any type of) photography studio.  If you are here to view beautiful baby […]

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!
