The truth? This past year I lost myself. My entire self. Somewhere between those days I spent in a hospital begging God to not let me lose my mom, that morning when I woke up at the age of 28.4 and literally could not walk, that day I had to look into my precious little […]

Dear Sweet Little Man,   As I watched you snuggle into your mommy, I could tell that you know: you have been loved since before you were even a thought.  It makes sense.  With a love so deep that it carried through heartache, shut doors and mountains of adoption paperwork for six years – I’m […]

He thought she was cute.  She thought he had great teeth.  (No really…she did.  And he does.) They exchanged numbers…and then…well…nothing. Until they finally got together for a run. He brought his ipod.  Just “in case”. There was no in case… He fell for her.  And she knew he was the one.  And before long, […]

Dear Little Miss,   Today we went through almost every emotion you have.  And probably most of mine.  And I got frustrated. But you know what?  I adore you. You are the one that made me a mom in the first place.  You are my unexpected little one.  You changed my life forever in the […]

I wish this were my baby’s nursery. Unfortunately, Asher doesn’t get to have a nursery just yet. BUT…I did get to photograph this GORGEOUS nursery. And the unbelievably cute baby who is lucky to call this his room. And his gorgeous mommy who is one of the most incredible ladies I’ve ever known. So prepare […]

Beauty + love + compassion + kindness + all things wonderful = this lady. Oh how grateful I am to have documented this moment in her story as she enters her senior year.  Girl…I cannot wait to see where God takes you. And a HUGE thank you to the ever so incredible Nicole Roby for […]

Sweet Maggie, You. You are a gift.  Every laugh.  Every smile.  Every incredibly witty comment.  Gift. Your thoughtfulness overwhelms me.  Your kindness humbles me.  Your heart inspires me. Having you around this summer will forever be one of my best memories from this year.  Little conversations amidst piles of never-ending laundry.  Echoes of giggles from […]

Pillow fights, jumping on hotel beds and sleepy boys.  The stuff dreams and the best getaways are made of…

Smiles were everywhere. Cameras flashed.  Memories were made.  Dance floors were rocked.  Even in the middle of a downpour. Because these two…these two make it so you can’t help but smile.  Their love is the kind we all long for and you can’t help but cheer for when you see it.  Their love can withstand […]

My soul has been tired.  And somewhat discouraged. It’s easy to get caught up in all the “ought-tos”.  The comparisons.  The “I’m not enoughs…”  To land smack dab in a rut. I knew I needed to do something.  A shoot just for me. So I called her… This lady? She inspires me to the very […]
