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 […]

That crazy photography season we call fall is here!  And I got to start out the craziness with some super good friends, the Pooles.  It was a beautiful, warm football Saturday and other than Lance’s “Geaux Tigers” on the day MY team was playing LSU, it went perfectly.  Well… except for the yellow jacket sting […]

Margaret and Taylor kept their lake wedding small.  It was an intimate day, including only those closest to them.  So it was even more of an honor to be there to photograph it.  Margaret started off the day at Hopson James Salon in Homewood and the rest of the day happened at her family’s lake […]

I’m a little sad to be sharing these one-year portraits with you since it means my scheduled sessions with Olivia are over!  It’s been such fun to watch her grow and to get to know her sweet mom.  This last session I was especially aware of how big she’s gotten.  Look at her walking and […]

When I woke up on Colleen and John’s wedding day, the weather forecast was not predicting good things.  The sky looked ominous all day.  I was thinking about the good points- it’s good luck to rain on your wedding day, the church has lots of beautiful windows, Colleen is so optimistic it’ll be fine…  But […]
