je vois photography

For the second time this year I got to visit with some members of a family I love!  This arm of the Nolen family was here from California for Thanksgiving and I got to have one of their precious hours here in the south!  This little girlie-q is too precious!

My best friend and I have been trying to get her family together for a photo session for TWO YEARS!!  The last time we did one, little man wasn’t even here yet.  I’m so glad we finally got it together, since it also meant I got to play with them!  Aren’t they a pretty fam? 

I have gotten to know this adorable family over the last year and a half or so.  When we first started getting to know each other, Charlotte was 6-months old.  I have photographed them two or three times since then and each time I am sad when it’s over.  I could talk to Rachel for […]

I know I say I love all my weddings and brides, and I really do.  I passionately love people and honestly get excited for their big moments.  But, I really love this bride.  Kristin is more precious than I could describe in words.  She listens so well and lets you know her in an honest […]

This is a special post.  This sweet friend and I have walked through some hard things together.  We met when she was engaged and I was going through infertility.  Life happened, both happy and hard and even when I didn’t see her often, she was always there for support.  She’s brilliant, confident, beautiful, humble, capable […]

I love getting to know families as I document their lives.  I met Amy, Brian and their first born, Jamie when he was 2.  Amy was pregnant with a second little bundle and was SUPPOSED to be on bed rest.  She didn’t tell me til half-way through the session when I asked her to hold […]

Last weekend, I spent a little time with a couple whose wedding I’m shooting in 2013.  They are both adorable.  Lara seems very organized and efficient, as well as persuasive!  She talked a friend of mine into coordinating her wedding after the friend had retired from that line of work!  That’s how she found me.  […]

Halloween is more than just one night in our house.  It’s more like a mini-season, lasting several weeks.  First Peter and the girls carve the pumpkin.  This was really Adelaide’s first year to be involved and she was not quite sure.  As is the norm for her.  Then we have the Trunk or Treat at […]

Last week I got to meet the baby boy of one of my very first brides.  I can’t believe it!  I feel like Christina and Michael got married THIS August, not August 3 years ago!  (Or was it 4?  Time is flying too fast.)  Aaron was 5 weeks early to meet his mom and dad.  […]

The very day I posted info about my Christmas card sessions, I got an email from the Mason family.  I got to know them when I did an infant session with their now two-year-old.  It’s so much fun to see the same families each year.  This adorable girl has so much personality!  She didn’t complain […]

If you’ve followed me/my work for long, you may remember me beginning to explore the prospect of an intern to help with my business about a year ago.  I prayed and thought, and prayed and thought.  One of the reasons photography is so perfect for me is that, while I’m passionate about it, I am […]

When Michelle emailed me to photograph little Caiden, he was already 4-weeks old, but was born 5 1/2 weeks early!  So, he was still really sleepy when I got to meet him the day before his due date.  Isn’t he beautiful?  He was either having some tummy trouble or feeling sleepy, but either way, mommy […]

There were lots and lots of things I loved and intend to tell you about Dana and Alex’s wedding day.  Sadly, I often forget the myriad details I want to explain, but I’m going to do my best!  First of all, Dana’s father is the pastor at Mountain Chapel United Methodist Church.  This was great […]

A few weeks ago I got to go play with the cutest girls in their most beautiful yard.  I met big sis when I took pictures at Covenant Day School.  It was fun to meet the rest of the girls in the family and take pictures of this busy time in their lives!This little girl […]

I often tell the pregnant gals who call me that I’d like to take newborn portraits ASAP after the little bundle is born.  Very rarely do these gals feel ready or even remember to get that photo session scheduled within the first week or so.  I was SO impressed when Kerry got in touch with […]
