Confession: Sometimes I like to garbage pick.   There.  I said it.  In the past week, I have gotten two things out of two different people’s trash.  I don’t dig, don’t worry.  But if there is something obvious sticking out of someone’s pile of trash that catches my eye, I stop to look at it. […]

Weekend full of friends!  We spent some quality time with many different groups of friends this weekend.  It was action packed and full of fun, food and love.   And because it rained all weekend, we didn’t get as much yard work done as we had anticipated.  But James did attack phase one of our […]

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous lately.  Carter is really starting to play outside and definitely throws a tantrum when it’s time to come in. . . or when we return home from somewhere and we go right into the house instead of stopping in the back to play first.   Our sandbox has finally […]

This was by far one of my favorite sessions ever.  This little bundle made me so giddy on the inside.  After a rough half hour, I asked Landon’s mommy to fill up his tummy a bit–and then after that it was smooth sailing.  He gave us an entire hour of sleepiness.  We moved him in […]

Finally. . . a nice picture of the boys with my mom! It feels like I’ve been posting so many photography session pictures that I haven’t done a personal post in quite some time.  I can imagine that I could type for hours–I probably could come up with many things to tell you.  But to […]

This entire shoot made me incredible nervous.  I have known Rachel and Becca since our college days–that’s not the part that made me nervous–not only are both of them fellow photographers, but then they brought along someone to help out with baby holding and key jingling to get the little ones to look toward the […]

Like I mentioned in a post a few days back, I love when families visit me a second time.  It’s so fun to watch people change through my lens.  This family came to see me during my holiday mini-sessions at the end of last year- check out their pictures here.  Since then, Katie had her […]

My mom is an incredible woman.  She is extremely generous and has a heart toward helping people in need.  She’s always been that way.  She goes out of her way to be kind–offering things that the Lord has blessed her with to help others who might need it.  Hosting parties and showers for people who […]

I adore this family.  Katie and I have become fast friends the past few months now that she is a stay-at-home mommy too.  Not that we weren’t friends before, but I feel like we’ve crossed some sort of line–the I completely understand what you are going through when your son does [insert something our children […]

See. . . signature pose?  I think because I love when I have this pose of my own family.  I always want to make sure that everyone has their own version 🙂 It’s awesome when you get to photograph families more than once.  I had the opportunity to shoot this adorable family during my holiday […]
