I remember sitting down with Ryan Homes two and a half years ago signing paperwork to build my house. I was excited and nervous, but yet, confident with my decision. Between my first time hearing about an available lot to the initial contact with the sales rep regarding my interest to then signing paperwork, all […]

We are still early in the wedding season, and I’m already gushing over these photos from Mike and Ashley’s big day last Saturday!!! I knew their day was going to be as beautiful and lovely as they are. I met their super adorable little one, Caroline, at their engagement session a couple weeks ago and […]

Ah! So many favorites from Ricky and Whitney’s session!!! You know, I’ve been hearing many people rave about my maternity photography. I was going to start cutting back on lifestyle portrait sessions, but Ricky and Whitney inspired me! 🙂 I enjoyed my time Friday evening getting to know these two! Whitney wasn’t originally from the […]

Happy Monday, everyone!! Although, I think we can all agree that reading a nice book under a blanket on this gloomy day sounds ideal … Especially for the start of the work week! AMEN. First of all, I am SOOOOOO pumped because about a month ago, Alex left for Africa for a medical mission trip, […]

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!!! I’m missing my other half right now as Alex serves the Zimbabwean community. So proud of him for taking his talents and knowledge to help those in need.

I remember photographing Ashley and her brother YEARS ago, but when Ashley contacted me this time around, it was for a different reason!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Ashley excitingly emailed me saying she was ENGAGED! When I saw Ashley for her and Mike’s engagement session, she immediately lit the room —  They are completely smitten by […]

Happy Monday, everyone!!! I hope you had a great and safe weekend. 🙂 Let me tell you that I have a new perspective on Virginia’s “freezing temps” after visiting Chicago this past weekend! HA! I learned a lot about the city while hanging out with my friend, Stephanie! But I think we ate our way […]
