family session.

Remember this sweet family?

What a difference a year makes. Sweet H is now ONE, thriving, and basically bringing joy to all around him.

See what I mean? Just look at all that love...

Big Brother W takes his important role very seriously!


This shoot left me in a puddle. I challenge anyone to witness baby H's smile and not have their heart turn to liquid butter! So fun watching him grow!

meet a miracle.

meet a miracle.

we weren't sure this little guy was going to be here. his parents learned when they went in for their ultrasound that they were expecting their second son, but that his prognosis was quite grim. fast forward several prayerful months and he is here and surprising doctors by doing so much better than they ever thought he would. join me in praying for this family as they start this journey. he is the most precious little miracle.
every time i look at these images, i am in awe of these parents and God's grace and mercy.

and meet his beautiful mom, my old friend, Em...

and his sweet dad, Reid...

and last, but certainly not least, his proud big brother, W. whom i've been photographing since he was a newborn himself.

they are just so thankful to be able to hold him in their arms.

and i'm so thankful to know them and for the privilege of helping them preserve these precious first memories of a life that God has already blessed so much. i look forward to watching you grow, H!

Noah

I recently met up with this sweet family for some photos before big changes happen!
Mom is expecting twin boys! I've been photographing Noah since he was a baby and now he's about to be a big brother. Boys run in this family...Dad has twin brothers, too.

As a mom to boys with curls, I'm a bit partial to curly heads :) Love how those ringlets frame his face.

Noah, you were an angel and a joy to follow around the gardens! You will be a great big brother!

Thanks for allowing me to photograph your family again.

I love big families!

i really enjoy the opportunity to shoot in a client's home when lighting allows. aren't they cute?

how cute is big brother no. 2 in this one? i love his expression.

proud siblings indeed!

this may be my favorite :) isn't this so true to life?


thank you Rothman family for the privilege of photographing your beautiful new family of 6!

Hawkins Sneak Peek

i love the contrast of textures in this photo.
isn't that tu-tu great?

S looked so much taller to me this time as he really is getting to be a big boy.
Love those cheeks!

i love shooting into the sun and the ethereal look in this shot. she looks like an angel!

Can hardly believe it was time for the Hawkins family shoot again. I've been taking photos for this sweet family since Miss G was born. These are a few from their birthday/Christmas card session. As always, it's such a treat for me to watch them grow. Her big brother could not have been sweeter watching out for her. He has the most precious demeanor. Enjoy this sneak peek and I'll have the rest for you soon!

Another Sneak Peek!

possibly my new favorite shot

pure love

hubba hubba!
this one's gonna be a heartbreaker

such a beauty


oh i loved this session! i met one of my oldest friends and her precious family in the downtown area of our hometown recently for a photo shoot. i have always been encouraged by this couple's devotion to each other and their love for their children. i thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to photograph them while they were in town. these are some of my early favorites as i make my way through proofing. the rest will be ready soon! love y'all!
