Here’s what happened… I got to Sky Valley for Thanksgiving before my brother and sisters.  And as we drove around, I had visions of a couple’s shoot in so many places around the resort.  I promptly texted my brother and sister-in-law, George and Brittany, and told them to be prepared.  So, Thanksgiving Day we got […]

Do you remember the precious Cloud boys?  We saw them as newborns and then again last Christmas.  Now they’re full-blown, running around, candy eating toddlers.  One thought I was funny and liked the camera.  The other thought I was crazy and wanted no part of my nonsense…This black and white image makes me laugh.  It’s […]

For Thanksgiving my whole family went to Sky Valley, GA; a place where we spent many weeks of vacation as children, but hadn’t returned to as a family in more than a decade.  I hadn’t been in 12 years.  The last time I was there it was with my cousin Emalee and our grandparents.  Grandandy […]

Liesa and Chad were married on a beautiful, crisp November day.  Everything was perfect and went so smoothly that I was worried we were forgetting something the whole time!  But it seems that all the details, including the most important- the marriage- did happen.  I am so in love with St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic […]

The Guillens called me after sweet Selena Harrison told them about me.  We hadn’t met until the moment the session begin (which was a little late since Susan and I both forged Friday afternoon traffic to get there.)  When her gorgeous girls hopped out of the car at Mt. Laurel, I knew I would love […]

Liesa and Chad were married Saturday and it was beautiful!  But, I’ve been having to sit on these gorgeous bridal portraits for a couple of months and couldn’t wait any longer.  It’s just a hint at how beautiful the wedding day was.I love this one.  I’d like to tell you that she looks so wistful […]

The sweet McCarthy family is quickly becoming my most photographed family!  We met for some family and 2-year portraits last spring, did Amy’s beautiful maternity portraits a few months ago and this week I got to meet the newest addition- Owen!  He was just 5 days old here, but alert and sweet and snuggly and […]

Meet the Harrisons!  You saw daddy Kevin a few years ago when we did a session to use as publicity for his music career.  Now you get to meet the rest of the family.  Gorgeous Selena is one of those people that really listens to you when you talk, and remembers what you say.  We […]

I’ve photographed the Hogue family a few times.  At the start, I admired them and liked Meredy, but I didn’t know them that well.  Now I love them each.  And Meredy has become one of my dearest friends.  Someone I would call to cry or pray when I’m at my lowest.  And someone I thoroughly […]

There are many, many, many things I love about my job.  Among them is the fact that I am extremely extroverted.  Now that there are two children demanding me nearly constantly, I do require a little downtime, but mostly I like to be surrounded by people.  This particular shoot was fun because I went to […]

I got to spend the morning with the Jacksons on Friday.  It was gloomy, get-back-in-bed weather right up until we started shooting!  The sun came out and lit the way for all these beautiful portraits.  I had fun hanging out with this pretty family and Kelly told me today that they had fun, too.  In […]

In our house, Halloween is much longer than just a day.  Pierce and I had the most fun decorating for “happy harvest” as she called it, early in the month.  Then the Pumpkin Patch.  This year my mom “Ooba” took her to a pumpkin carving party, which is the only time I could convince her […]

I got to play with Bailey and her parents again this year.  But instead of spring, when we first met, it was on the most gorgeous fall day.  A little chilly, but the colors of the trees this weekend were perfection.  The last time I saw Bailey, she was just a sweet little newborn.  But […]

Do you remember these gorgeous curls from the last shoot I had with the Etheridge fam?  I couldn’t decide which of these next two I like best!  Little man’s smile is just so contagious in the first one.  What a precious family!!  Are you smiling yet?  I can’t work with this session without smiling!

When Kerra first emailed me about family portraits, this is what she said… “please know that it is just my husband, our large dog, and myself.  We got married about a year and a half ago and I just want to document our lives before children.”  I love it!  I’m such a fan of documenting […]
