How can you not smile at this – pure birthday cake joy!! This little girl in her rainbow tutu was just about the most perfect little cake smash model!  She smiled, she played with the icing, she took bites of the cake, she smeared it on her hands…oh, and she even tried SITTING on her […]

Ah, the sweetness! I was so excited to have a newborn girl during what seems to be a summer season of boys…not that I don’t love the little guys, but sometimes headbands and pink is just refreshing!  🙂  This little princess has a very tough mommy – her birth story is something straight out of […]

WOW.  Can I say that again?  WOW!  I am overwhelmed with the response to my Summer {Give} Mini-Session fundraiser for the Davis Family.  We have raised nearly $1300!!  Oh, happy day!  Not only that, but I was contacted by quite a few of you who opened your hearts to the Davis’, offering supplies, job information, […]

One of my favorite spots downtown was the site of my recently family session.  My camera absolutely loved this family (okay, I did, too) with the teenage daughter who was stunningly beautiful, a 4 year old son who was so cooperative that I didn’t know what to do with myself and three adults who smiled […]

This little man was too cute in his birthday outfit…but NOT excited about cake.  Typically, once a baby gets a taste of the sweet stuff, they don’t turn back.  Not this time – maybe he would have rather had broccoli.  Ha ha! We did manage to get him interested….a bit.  (As long as the animal […]

I was honored to be asked by a fellow photographer, Christene of CS Photography, to be present to capture the birth of her second child.  It was my first time photographing a “surprise” gender, which made it even more exciting!!  Christene’s husband was not due to return from deployment until after her due date, so […]

I am blessed with two healthy children. They have had a cough and a fever, but they’ve never really been sick.  I’ve never truly worried about their health, their lives, or their long-term well being.  I do not know what it is like to sit by and watch my baby in a hospital bed.  And […]

I met with another gorgeous mom-to-be for a beach maternity session last week.  It has been nearing 100 degrees most days, so I was a bit worried that the heat would be oppressive for a pregnant mama!  But it turned out to be a beautiful night for pictures after all. As the sun was setting, […]

My first set of twins from my Casting Call special came to my home studio the day after they were released from the hospital – only 3 days old!  These little guys were tiny at only about 6lbs each. Twins were definitely double the fun – but I was grateful that their grandma was there […]

I’m all too familiar with four year olds, having one living in my house right now, so when I was contacted to do a session on this little guy’s fourth birthday, I knew what to expect!  Four year olds are notorious for being on one minute and off the next…they pretty much do what they […]
