the m & j family | sneak peek

I got to spend the afternoon with the most wonderful family. Half the family was in town for the holiday's from Arizona, so they booked a session since it's been awhile since they had a group photo done. I was so honored to be chosen to document these memories, and I honestly had a great time. This family was not only gorgeous, but fun and funny as well. Thank you guys so much for spending the afternoon with me. I can't wait to show you everything I captured, but enjoy the sneak peek in the mean time!

the s family | mini session | sneak peek

This afternoon I got the opportunity to photograph the family of the beautiful girls from my senior/sister shoot a few weeks ago. They are such a wonderful family and gorgeous both inside and out. Although it was only a mini session and we were done in about 20 minutes, we still captured some great moments and got some beautiful family shots. Thanks so much guys for meeting with me, and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Yesterday I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon with the adorable Mr Jedidiah. At 9 days old this little cutie was just wide awake and ready to take on the world. They were such an adorable family and he was such a good little guy that hardly made a peep. Thank you so much Jami and Paul for spending the day with me. It was such a pleasure to capture these moments for your family and I can't wait to show you the entire gallery. Enjoy your sneak peek!!!

gracie | senior portraits | sneak peek

I recently had my first senior session and I must say... I loved it!!! What a pleasure to work with not 1, but 3 gorgeous sisters who could sit still and take direction. Such a change from my usual work with kids and newborns. Poor girls, I'm sure they were exhausted by the time I was done with them. I had so much fun with Gracie and her sisters, and hope I get the chance to work with the other 2 again when they hit their senior year. I would make a joke about how I can't imagine raising 3 high school girls at the same time, but these were the sweetest, most polite and down to earth high schoolers you will ever meet and it was a total pleasure working with them. Kudos to mom and dad for raising such wonderful daughters! Thanks for waiting patiently for your sneak peek girls, I hope to have your gallery up soon!

Fall Family Mini-Sessions

I recently had the opportunity to spend the day doing fall family mini-sessions. These sessions are quick and the perfect way to get a few updated family shots for your Christmas cards, or a new canvas for your wall. Here are a few of my favorites from the day...

Make sure to look for more mini session specials when they are announced!

One of my past maternity clients seen here was finally blessed with the arrival of their healthy little boy. This family is just so beautiful and their little guy was just too cute for words. He was a little chunker, but still totally flexible, bendy and sleepy which made my job oh so fun. It was such a pleasure working with you guys again, and I hope you enjoy the sneak peek. It was SOOOO hard to narrow down and I can't wait for you to see the full session, because I know you will love it!

Baby Blake was finally born to the beautiful Theresa & Jason from my last maternity session. He's such a cutie and although he made me work and didn't want to sleep... by the end of the session and with a little patience I finally won out and he was putty in my hands. It was a pleasure working with you again Theresa, and I hope you guys enjoy the sneak peek.

I just love this before and after. It's so amazing what the human body is capable of!

I'm so lucky to do what I do!!! I got to love on and cuddle with this adorable little guy this past Sunday. Baby Orion (such a cool name) has 2 older brothers and they are all such handsome little guys. At 5 days old he was such a champ and slept the entire time. Thanks so much for letting me photograph your family Melissa & Billy. You are all so beautiful and it was a pleasure working with you! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and love the images I was able to capture of you and the boys.

In Loving Memory

My amazing grandfather just went home to be with the Lord. He was a wonderful man and I am so very blessed to have had him in my life for so many years. He will definitely be missed, but will be welcomed into heaven with open arms by so many who loved him before. Love you grandpa!

To my clients: I greatly appreciate your patience as I deal with this and head out of town for the funeral. I'll do my best to be in contact should you need my assistance, but may have limited computer access for the next week and won't be able to respond as promptly as usual. Thank you so much for your understanding during this time.

theresa | maternity portraits | sneak peek

I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful mama to be over the weekend. You would never know she is due any day now. She looks absolutely amazing and has the perfect little pregnant body (I'll give you a minute to roll your eyes now and admit to your jealousy!) I did the session in their home and got to see their lovely nursery, which was complete with murals on every wall and just beautifully done. Thank you so much for inviting me into your home Theresa and Jason. I hope you have a wonderful birth experience and I look forward to meeting up with you to photograph your little guy soon. Enjoy the sneak peek!

maria | maternity portraits | sneak peek

I'm so excited that I finally got a chance to do a maternity session! The pregnant body is so beautiful and it was such an honor to capture these images for Maria and her husband. They already booked their newborn session, so I'll be seeing them back in a few weeks and I can't wait. I have a feeling their little guy is going to be absolutely adorable! Thanks so much for driving down Maria, enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy and I'll see you soon.
