The Blog

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 […]

It was such a relaxed session and I  couldn’t get over Jessie’s smile […]

This was my second time shooting The Hunter Family  and as always our time together was filled with giggles, hugs, and a few kiddos who like to show off 🙂  I LOVE repeat clients because it makes me feel like I am that distant auntie who gets to hang around once a year and see […]

Oh man Lincoln is a CUTIE.  With a capital C.  That head full of hair won me over the second his mom texted me a photo.  As soon as I walked into their home, his big sister greeted me with all of her kindergarten news and what she was going to be for Halloween this […]
