The sweet Stephens Fam!  You’ve already heard my opinion on their adorable baby girl and what a lovely couple they are.  I’m so enjoying getting to know Kate better through church and these photography sessions! The purpose of this session was just to get a family picture.  YES it’s at Christmas, but it’s not for […]

Thanksgiving is not normally one of my most favorite holidays.  My family’s tradition seemed to change periodically growing up, so other than being with them (which is one of my favorite things) I didn’t feel a strong tie to anything in particular.  I was, until my early twenties, a very picky eater, so I didn’t […]

Finally!  I thought I’d never get back to the computer to blog the rest of this wedding. We left off right after Mandy and Scott had their moment (I hate the terms “first look”,”reveal”, etc.  I’m testing out other options.  Feel free to comment with suggestions on that!)  I whisked them away to do their […]

Mandy and Scott were married the weekend following Thanksgiving and the Iron Bowl.  It was a big week!  But sweet Mandy was a DREAM bride and client and I was so so so honored and excited to be there. Both the wedding and reception were at Shades Valley Community Church (at the old Homewood ice […]

This adorable duo was so much fun!  I am quite happy to say that we’re related.  Peter’s cousin is their mom and she contacted me to do their Christmas pictures plus some general portraits.  I was excited because she is delightful and we never get to see them.  This was from the same weekend that […]

Fall sure did take its time arriving.  And now it feels like it’s already gone!  A few short days, maybe weeks, of gorgeous fall color, a few days of fall weather and BAM!  It’s straight to wool coats and n*ked trees.  Just in case you miss it already- here are a few scenes from that […]

Remember that sweet baby that was dunked all the way under water a few weeks ago?  Well, meet another one.  BUT, her baptism was nearly a year ago and she’s survived and thrived!  Sweet EC is the daughter of one of my dearest friends from high school.  Sadly we’re not as in touch as we’d […]

I photographed the sweetest wedding yesterday.  Mandy put more thought into this day than any other bride I know.  Not just thought, though.  Work.  She did so very much of it herself.  I’m getting ahead of myself.  This post is just a sneak peak into their day yesterday. I love the gentle and sweet spirit […]

Do you remember John Allan and Bryant from their infant session last year?  Well, they’re nearly a year old now.  Mobile, curious and happy as can be!  I went to play with them again for a combo one-year/Christmas session and got mom AND dad in some photos this time.  They’re all as precious as ever […]

This post is an ode to two things.  One- the power of social media.  Two- a beautiful six month old named Charlotte. Rachel found me through Facebook.  All that posting and tweeting is not for naught!  We emailed a bit and picked a day.  It was a perfect day… the fall leaves were at their […]

One day last weekend, I was SURE it was going to rain all day.  It was a very good stay-at-home-in-your-pj’s kind of a day.  But I got a better treat!  Super cute red curls and a bright smile in a field.  What could be better? I met Laura Leigh through a friend many years ago.  […]

In July, my 2.5 year old daughter was in the Brauer-Brower wedding as the flower girl.  It was kind of frantic considering that she was two and a half AND our newer daughter was 2 weeks old.  (This event was part of the reason I had a scheduled delivery!)  Would she walk down the aisle?  […]

I have so much to say about this very special post.  The Potts family has been as much a part of my life as any other.  My mother and Kari Potts were suite mates at Auburn.  She is my sister’s God mother and my parents are their youngest daughter’s God parents.  Their eldest son, Jay, […]

Instead of formal 3 month portraits for my baby girl,  I decided to keep my camera with me all day (more of an undertaking than I thought) and document “A Day in the Life” of Adelaide. At this point, she was still in our room.  She would end up in our bed sometime in the […]

Meet baby Rivers.  My beautiful, life-long friend Barbara asked me to come capture some sweet moments a few weeks after he was born. Mommy and baby were adorable and cuddly and so in love. It was amazing to me the difference in the type of image you get when a baby is within it’s first […]
