In 2005 Josh and I were engaged and we still led pretty separate lives.  We lived in different counties, went to different churches, and were excited to begin to combine our lives.  One Sunday I was visiting his church and there was a guest pastor who was about to plant a church in the county […]

This goes down on record for being the fastest mini session I’ve ever done!  We were racing against the rain and… got poured on.  Our equipment is weather sealed, so I wasn’t concerned about that, but it started raining so hard that you could see the raindrops in the photos, and everyone was absolutely drenched.  HUGE […]

We’re back!  Three weeks on the road as a family of four crammed into a Nissan Cube was awesome and hard and the best thing ever all rolled up in one!  I shared about the first half of our trip here, where we visited family in Florida, and then wanted to share the last half […]

I love big weddings, and y’all know that.  400 guests?  SIGN ME UP.  But also?  I really love and appreciate small weddings too.  And everything in between.  I love the crazy of a big wedding, but I love the intimacy of getting to hug each of your guests after the ceremony and truly spending quality […]

Greetings from St. Pete!  We had a blast taking some after-storm photos in St. Pete with the sweet Diggs family!  They chose one of their favorite parks for their family photos and it was the perfect mix of park and water and bright fun colors.  Despite the thunder and lighting leading up to the session, […]

We’re a little over halfway through our three week summer road trip through the southeast!   There are four destinations on our trip: Middleburg and Tampa Florida, Canton Georgia, and Waynesville North Carolina.  We have family in each town and have enjoyed just being around family!  If you haven’t been following along on instagram, you have to […]

Chad + Michelle are expecting a sweet baby girl in a few months!  Miss Everleigh Charlotte sure is well loved already!  We chose downtown Hampton for the session, which is one of my favorite spots!  There are so many different locations close together, there are endless possibilities!

10 years ago Justin + Brittany were married.  They were young, things happened and they ended up getting a divorce.   But then they became friends again and slowly a friendship began to turn into something more.  They remembered why they got married in the first place. And on Thursday… what would have been their tenth wedding […]

Oh my word.  I’m in disbelief that today is Zane’s 5th birthday!  It’s his second birthday with us, and his first birthday with an esophagus. His first birthday being able to ingest food.  Sometimes it’s still hard for me to wrap my head around it all.  2.5 years ago we first saw his face and fell in […]

What do you do when you have to do a session on a certain day but it’s raining?  Well, there are a lot of possibilities: a covered outdoor area, indoors, a studio session… a rainy session outside.  But with little kids, it wasn’t a great idea to be in the rain, and it was so windy […]
