I love weddings.  I love babies. More than either of those things though, I love to watch a family grow, change, and fall more in love as time goes on.  There’s nothing quite like capturing all these special milestones and truly getting to know a family through these continued interactions. This year I had a […]

If yesterday’s best of 2015 wedding images is my favorite post, this has to be my second favorite.  As I told you yesterday, being a mommy is the only dream I’ve had since I was a tiny girl.  I’ve ALWAYS been obsessed with itty bitty, squishy, snuggly, yummy smelling freshly born babies.   I guess […]

This family had to wait extra long on Mr. G who decided to stay put until 6 days after his due date.  Arriving in a tiny package at 6 pounds 4 ounces, he is absolutely adorable!  Way too interested in what was going on around him, he decided to stay awake during his entire newborn […]

I vividly remember the first time I met Brandy.  I was cautious, guarded, and slightly terrified.  You see, Brandy had just been hired as our new high school cheerleading coach.  With competition season only weeks away, I was unsure if someone from a division of smaller schools could uphold our district level winning tradition.  Looking […]

I can feel it coming.  The air is getting cooler in the mornings and the nights are a bit crisper.  A few leaves have even begun to lose their green hue in favor of orange and maroon.  You know what they say…. God must be a Hokie since the entire fall season is decorated in […]

I had the pleasure of photographing one unit of this large family a few years ago at Christmas time.  I was so excited to hear that the whole family wanted to get together for an extended family session.  Coming from a big family myself, I always enjoy seeing everyone come together to create an image […]

What is better than one squishy, sweet, and adorable little girl? Well, two of course!  I was thrilled to capture their beautiful momma before they were born and even more so to photograph them after they entered the world. How sweet are these two snuggly sisters?  Meet A & C! Their parents are both avid […]

I was so excited to work with this family.  They have FOUR kiddos and as a former elementary school teacher, I kinda love being around groups of children. 🙂 Since three of the kids were students at my school, I knew them and knew this session was sure to be a blast. THESE KIDS! I […]

With summer almost over and school around the corner (can you BELIEVE it??? I can’t!) I want to send a little “best wishes” message out to a very special person in our family’s lives.  McKenzie is my younger cousin who just graduated last spring and will be headed off to college to play softball in […]

When I found out this sweet family was expecting not one but TWO precious bundles I was overjoyed and literally laughed out loud! We decided to take maternity pictures just days before Alisabeth was scheduled to deliver.  With the big day imminent, we opted for a short nursery and backyard maternity session.  If you can’t […]
