Amie and Jansen came into our lives about 7 years ago.  We joined a home group at church that they were a part of, and we quickly became friends.  We were both newly weds and actually lived in the same neighborhood.  Amie and I spent many evenings walking the neighborhood, building a true friendship, talking […]

The Bejarano family was one of the first families on my calendar for the fall season.  Jessica wanted to be able to pick the date before I got booked up.  We had planned for a day in the middle of November because the weather is usually cool enough to where you won’t sweat in a […]

The week of Thanksgiving break was supposed to be beautiful.  The weather was supposed to be in the 60s all week, perfect for some time outdoors!  And while I didn’t schedule many shoots for the break, I knew (thought) the weather was going to be great for the ones I had scheduled. I always wonder […]

Have you every met your doppleganger?  They say everyone has one, and while I don’t necessarily know who my personal doppleganger would be, the Barnett family is definitely our family twin.  One girl and two boys, living just streets apart, when we met the Barnett family, we soon realized we had basically been living the […]

We grew up in a small town, like really small.  Like, “graduated from high school with less than 70 people” small.  There wasn’t a whole lot to do in our little town, but we made our own fun, good clean fun.  Well, except that one time when we decided to see how long it could […]

When Ashlyn’s mom asked back in the spring if I would take her senior pictures, I couldn’t have been more excited.  Senior girls are so much fun to photograph.  They are (usually) excited to have their picture taken and living the best year of their life! I was so looking forward to this session.  I […]

Hayes and my daughter, Olivia, are quite the pair.  Best friends, almost like brother and sister (but without the fighting so far).  Morgan kept Olivia for the first year of her life, which means her and Hayes have really grown up together.  Their little friendship is the sweetest friendship, and I would have to say […]

We first met the Bell family when my husband became the assistant principal at Chloe’s elementary school, and we also served in the 4-5 year olds at church and had Bobby in our class.  A short time later, Sara began working at the school, and we have enjoyed getting to know this family even more. […]

Lucy was definitely the star of the show on this photo shoot.  As soon as she got out of the car, I knew she would be.  She was in a brand new place, roaming around, using all of her senses to figure out this new place that was not her own back yard.  Lucy is […]

The newborn stage is gone in the blink of an eye.  The sleepless nights, the worries about pooping and eating, the tiny fingers and tiny toes, it’s all gone so fast.  And while it seems so long in the moment, when you are out of it, sometimes it hard to even remember what it was […]
