Sweet baby boy,   The truth?  I thought I’d lose you.  I thought I’d love you and lose you and never be able to heal.  (Even though I know now that God really could heal me)  And for the longest time, I didn’t give you all of me.  I just didn’t think I could handle […]

(Small side note: If you know me well, you realize I’m sing “everybody’s got a water buffalo” in my mind.) Buffalo, NY. It surprised us.  In all the best ways. We were able to stay with one of the most amazing ladies I’ve ever met, (but Inga…we missed you) eat at the best custard place […]

These people are some of the most amazing people on the face of the planet.  Hands down. And not just because they went ahead and had a flour fight while baking cookies… They have shown our family what love looks like over and over and over.  They sharpen us.  They make us laugh.  And they […]

These images? This is why I do what I do. Connection.  Authenticity.  Moments. And these people?  They’re gorgeous – inside and outside.  

Oh these two.  There are not words for how much I love them. And when they said they wanted to do an anniversary shoot to celebrate one year of marriage, I did back flips. The first part of our time together was spent having fun.  Capturing all the fun that they bring with them wherever […]

We’ve been asked numerous times how and why we went on our road trip.  There are a lot of reasons (which I’ll be writing about soon), but for years we’ve wanted to visit Boston. Why?  Because of the Boston Paulsons. (and…I’ve never been there.) Ted is blessed to have an AMAZING aunt and uncle, along […]

She tried to set him up with her best friend. Needless to say, that didn’t work out. He had fallen for her.  And before long?  She fell for him. And what started as a middle school acquaintance soon became best friends who were ready to go through every step in life together.   Monika and […]

They had been friends for a while.  Nothing more, nothing less. Life hit and they walked each other through it. That’s when it hit them; they were meant to walk through this life together.  For all their days.   Emily and John, y’all rock.  So.very.much.  And I’m SO honored that I had the privilege of […]

Her smile gave her away. “So tell me about this guy”…I asked. There were giggles.  And stories.  And through all of it – it was obvious.  This man had to be amazing.  And…he knew just how incredible she was. After being so lucky to hear their love story as it happened, I finally got to […]

Oh, our epic road trip. We’re home now. It’s bittersweet. (The bitter portion – our ceiling POURING forth water when the washer drained.  It’s awkward when it’s raining IN your house.  Welcome back.  The sweet?  I’ve realized that though I miss friends, I really do love Atlanta.  Quirky Peachtree roads and all…) But let’s just […]
