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 […]

letters to my little miss…

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 […]

It’s time. Maybe you’ve been waiting…debating…contemplating…but still putting it off.  It’s an easy thing to do. Because timing isn’t perfect.  We haven’t reached our target weight.  We don’t have this or that.  Things just aren’t ‘right’. Well…they never will be. But…your life?  It IS beautiful.  And it’s worth celebrating.  And it’s worth not having it […]

i get by with a little help from my friends…

You can do anything, but not everything. – David Allen   The past few weeks this has bounced around my mind like a super ball in a rubber room.  Yes…I just went there. It has haunted me.  Questioned me.  Relieved me.  And challenged me. And above all – it’s made me realize that it’s time. […]
