Emma and I have been best friends for.. going on 11 years. Gosh. I actually had to use my fingers for that one.  We don’t really have anything in common except for our love of food, comfy blankets, and lazy afternoons.  We used to have a lot in common back in high school when our […]

Malaya has stolen such a big part of my heart since that first session a little over a year ago.  She asks SO MANY questions and I love it because it just means she has such a heart for people at such an early age.  I hope she ALWAYS has that joy no matter how […]

You saw his beginnings in the Wizard of Oz Maternity Session and you saw his entry to the world in his Birth Story…. now you can check out how handsome he is in his newborn session! Oh Gabriel I love you!  

Virginia Beach has a special meaning in my family’s heart. It’s where we go when we need to escape the real world and desperately want some fresh salty air.  We go several times a year but always in the off season because it is so cheap and empty to stay there!  Take a look at […]

Anyone who knows me knows that I love my dog ! So anytime someone comes to me and inquires about a session with their fur baby, I do a little victory dance and cheer inside.  Dogs are HARD to photograph.  They move quickly and have a worse attention span than toddlers! Ellie got Dexter a […]

Megan is one of those people who you just want to BE around.  She is so genuinely nice and kind and makes you instantly feel special.  I showed up to her apartment for their Christmas session and I was greeted with a present!!! Megan put so much thought into her session and must have messaged […]

So lately I feel like a lot of my blog posts have kept it real. Whether it was rain, cold weather, temper tantrums, wind, or all of the above, sometimes we just have to kick life back in its butt and find the beautiful. So this is another example of beating the odds…. or really somewhat giving […]
