Laura and Mac – I remember the early days of parenthood.   The lack of sleep.  The overflowing diaper bag.   The entire encyclopedia of differing opinions on how to BEST raise your little one.  The joy of it all and the desire to JUST FREEZE TIME.  (After one really good night of sleep though…) Just in […]

We came into the year limping.  It’s a common occurrence when happen when your child has a learning disability. So when the new school year began, we walked through the doors of my daughter’s 3rd grade classroom with trembling hearts.  And there we were greeted by Mrs. Southerland. When the world didn’t know what to […]

Sometimes we are vulnerable enough to be seen.  To open our arms a little wider and say, “You are welcome here.  Here is US.  The real, perfectly imperfect US.” And I smile every time because I see the glory.  The grace and the beauty mingled together in the most exquisite display: LOVE.

When I first got her email, I had tears in my eyes…  She explained that as a Christmas present to their mom, she and her siblings wanted to gather everyone together for a story session.  The entire family worked to reschedule their day so that we could be together and press pause to celebrate the […]

What do you get when you combine love, grace, joy and dance parties? The Duncan family. Melissa and Joel – I still look through these images and find tears in my eyes over the way you love your kids and the way they embrace it.  It wrecks me every time in the most beautiful of […]

For 8 years I have watched you grow.  I’ve held you as babies, marveling over your fingers and toes.  I documented as you finally met your littlest brother.  We’ve colored pictures, dressed up in costumes, baked together, roasted s’mores and laughed so hard we almost cried. And every last moment – whether I was behind […]
