You know those emails (or letters) that bring tears to your eyes because you’re so scared to press send? The ones where you finally ask. You come clean about that. You tell the person how you really feel .  You let that acquaintance know how they made a difference in your life.  You inform that […]

I still remember the first time we held hands. Butterflies spring-boarded off the walls of my stomach.  Each nano-second that passed seemed so new…  Every portion of my self was so fully present in that moment. And don’t even get me started about the first time we kissed… But somewhere between the “I-do’s” and the […]

why Atlanta? I’ve gotten it quite a bit. I usually look at my shoes.  And then try to avoid eye-contact as I mutter out some lame explanation involving oppressive winters, costs of living and other equally boring things. Because the real answer is a lot harder.  It sounds sketchy.  Immature.  Odd. The real answer? We’re […]

I wasn’t sure if she would say yes. We’re good friends, but still… But I asked anyway.  Just in case. She thought about it and said yes.  She and her husband decided to give me the most incredible privilege of photographing the birth of their son. Matt and Shannon, thank you so much.  The two […]

I’ll never forget that raspberry white chocolate mocha. She sat across the table sipping the yumminess between gushes about a boy.  But it wasn’t just any boy.  It was plain as could be.  This was the one. From the moment I heard her share their story – I knew.  They were perfect for each other.  […]

And then I stopped. I grabbed my camera. I watched my kids.  And took pictures.  And I embraced that moment.  I recorded it.  So […]

I had the privilege of having this beautiful lady in front of my camera yesterday.  There’s so much more to come, but for the moment, here’s a little sneak peek of the ever-so-precious Makayla.  

Oh sweet Meghan…you are a gift to the world. You bring love and joy to everyone you meet. I ought to know…  You flooded my life with it in the 2 short hours we spent together. Thank you for being incredible you.  Never ever back away from that.  Because you are a blessing beyond measure.  […]

Dear Me,   Trying to diminish who you really are and what you can really do doesn’t actually do any good to any one. And that guilt?  Yeah…  Same thing.  It does no one any favors. It’s time to live into who you really are.  Take all that energy you spend comparing yourself, pretending your […]

Remember Lauren and Joe?  The incredibly sweet/beautiful/dreamy couple I’m head over heels for?  Yes. It’s time to overwhelm you with beautiful details.  And awesome dancing. Let’s do this. First of all, have I mentioned that Lauren’s mom is absolutely unbelievable?  And so is her entire family.  It was one incredibly artistic/amazingly kind person after the […]
