Hello friend!! I am so thrilled you are here and browsing the site! Finding the perfect photographer for you and your life long memories is a pretty important task. My style is one that fits well with those that want a timeless, classic, true to life gallery that is full of laughter and joy.

I am so excited to be working with the Historic Southern Railway to offer an indoor location for Spring Mini Sessions this year!  Mother nature has been a little cray cray the last several weeks and this location will provide us with an amazing backdrop rain or shine or freezing temps! Here is a little […]

It is hard to believe that my little muse has already been 10 for an entire month.  Did you read that???  10!  TEN whole years old.  I literally can not believe just how fast the time flies.  Everyone says it… and when you are in the thick of middle of the night feedings, diapers up […]

I have some pretty amazing clients, some whom have been with me since nearly the beginning when this business started really from nothing a little over three years ago.  I have been blessed to photograph the sweet Thomas family several times over the years.  Sit back with me as I reminisce back to all those […]

So it has been a hot minute since I updated my blog, SORRY!  Life is just happening at a monumental pace around here and I, like all the rest of you are just trying to keep up.  Like for example, my precious little angel daughter just started FOURTH grade, like seriously this has to stop.  […]

It has been such a pleasure capturing all the milestones in this precious family’s life.  I have known Eric for over 20 years (wow, thats hard to believe!) and when they asked me to capture the whole family, I was so excited.  I really think capturing your entire family; parents, siblings and cousins as often […]

So yesterday was my little ones first day of the 3rd grade.  I am still over here in denial and wishing time would stop.  One of the things that I love about my daughter going to private school is the fact that she gets to wear a uniform.  That is just one more battle we […]

I have had the privilege of photographing sweet Addianne and her brothers a few times and when her mom called me wanting to do some pictures at a local horse farm, well I jumped at the opportunity.  Addianne is taking lessons at Fiesta Farm and they were nice enough to let us come out and […]

Well my little one is the exact opposite of me in almost every way!  She looks just like her daddy (although I get some occasional nods in my directions) and she pretty much has his personality and spirit, which is a good thing/bad thing.  Given that it is the exact opposite of mine, I find […]
