The moment she rolled through the door and he saw her face, he couldn’t control his smile.  In bits and pieces, he started putting together sentences.  And he squeezed her hand, rubbing his thumb over her wedding ring. Amidst stitches, wheel-chairs, nurses, IVs and a host of other hospital room paraphernalia, love filled the room. […]

I have been meaning to write this post for nearly a year. Yep, an entire year. I find that sometimes – when something means SO much to me…when it transforms who I am…when it literally is a part of changing my life – I can’t find words that begin to express all that is going […]

We bonded over So You Think You Can Dance. (And I still swear she’ll be making her appearance there one day.  She would blush, look away and say…no.  But you just wait, world.) But it’s deeper than that.  It’s her kindness.  The way she and her family have a way of making you feel like […]

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.  […]

This little boy… He melts me. His parents inspire me. And the beauty and miracle that is adoption overwhelms me. With love. Joy. Tears. And happiness.  To name a few…   To see more from their session, just CLICK HERE to view their SLIDE-SHOW.  And thank you Devin Bustin for providing the perfect song.

Dear Sweet Jayden,   You are my joy.  My smile.  My good morning hug.  My blonde ball of energy.  My 0-60 in .2 seconds.  My snuggler.  My comic.  My heart.  My “I-don’t-begin-to-have-words-I-love-you-so-much”.  My “excuse-me-while-I-melt-into-a-puddle-of-mush-you’re-so-precious”.  My how-on-earth-does-he-wake-up-so-early-and-yet-manage-to-be-so-cute. I missed you something fierce while you were gone.  (Although I’m sure you had a great time with Grammy […]

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 […]

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 […]
