I’ve known Jay T since I was a kid because she was my uncle, aunt, and mom’s friend from work and remember her always coming over to my grandparents house as a kid. Every cookout, pool party, holiday, and birthday…. she was there! My grandma gave her plates of food and she brought the laughs […]

Tucked away in a busy city, there was a little boy named Jack, his dog, and a mom and dad. I waited patiently for Stephanie to contact me on the arrival of her new baby boy. When I got the news of his birth, we eagerly scheduled his newborn session to take place in their […]

I remember watching What to Expect When You’re Expecting a few years ago and laughing about how different two of the pregnancy experiences were. One mom, played by Elizabeth Banks, struggled with self esteem throughout the film.  She felt bloated, hot, flustered, and overall just “not pretty.”  On the other hand, another mom played by […]

I don’t even remember the last time I blogged… but since I will be coming up on some down time soon I figured this would be a good time to get back into it! 2018 has been a blur. Literally so much has happened that I don’t even feel like I have the same life […]

As I drove down the gravel road to the Strain home, I took in the tall trees, sunny skies, and was welcomed by two very fluffy dogs as I parked. I couldn’t help but think how awesome of a childhood Aria was going to have here.  Christina and Scott are two of the most laid […]

Matthew and Bethany LOVE to fly kites so what a better way to propose? On vacation down in the Outer Banks, he popped the big question over a custom made kite…. I love it!  It worked out so perfectly that I was down there vacationing and was able to capture such a special week for […]

I shot Adam and Theresa’s wedding a few years ago so when I found out they were pregnant, I was obviously THRILLED for them.  If you don’t already know them, they are basically two of the kindest and most genuine human beings you will ever meet.  I shot these of their new little family last […]

It was finally the day of their maternity session and the skies were sunny and the air was warm… Yeah then it got time for their session and of COURSE the skies turned a dark gray and the temperature dropped about ten degrees.  OF COURSE.  We didn’t really have room to reschedule because this mama […]

This little house is filled with love, tackles, and the sound of barefoot little boys running through the house. I don’t know how Katie and Matt handle parenthood with such grace but somehow they do.  

So big news… I have an intern! Bigger news… She is one of the most amazing people in the world!  Oh my gosh you really don’t know how much you need help until you finally get it.  Vaila is my new intern and is a local high school student. She has been helping me out […]
