Brittany + Andrew | Engaged

Brittany is quite possibly one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. She has an amazingly beautiful smile and personality. I am very excited to be able to share her engagement session with you. Brittany and Andrew are getting married next month and are such an adorable couple. We had a blast walking around Broadway the other day. They had me laughing non-stop! I wish them the best for their wedding and new life together!

Kiawah Island Vacation | 2012

Vacation this year seemed to mean more to me than previous years. It was much needed. I had been feeling so run down that it was so healing to have a week with just family. I was just looking at my beach post from last year here and realizing how much the girls have changed! We had a great week!

Angela + Travis | Engaged

This past weekend I met up with Angela and Travis at their alma mater, James Madison University for their engagement session. Although they didn’t meet in college, they both share memories of the beautiful campus so the quad was the perfect place for it! The weather was gorgeous and Angela and Travis were so sweet and fun to work with. I’m very much looking forward to their wedding next month!

Tara + Zac | Expecting

“A mother’s joy begins when new life is stirring inside… when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.” -Unknown

This post is very special to me. Tara and I became friends when we started working at the same OB/GYN office. We interact with pregnant women every day. We see people experience some of the happiest times of their lives, and unfortunately at the same time experience some sad times as well. Tara is an amazing nurse and I’m very lucky to work with her. It has been such a blessing to witness this person who spends so much of her time and energy taking care of other expectant moms experience it for herself! Tara and her husband Zac are expecting their first baby (a boy who’s name will remain a secret until he takes his first breath) due to arrive in July. They are such a sweet couple and I can already tell that they will be outstanding parents!

Kalena + Peter | Engaged

Kalena and Peter are the type of clients that I fall in love with quickly. They are so in love and excited about their upcoming wedding! They were so amazing during our shoot that there were times where I felt like they didn’t even need me there. They were naturals! Peter is so sweet and Kalena… those eyes! Enjoy this beautiful couple!

Ava | Happy Birthday

Yes, I am posting another birthday. Why so soon? Well, in this house the birthdays of our girls is 11 days apart. This time, it’s Ava’s turn. Ava is 2 and well… she acts 2. She is an adorable and happy addition to our family who is learning to express herself the way most toddlers do… loudly:) We love her so much! We had an Elmo party for her yesterday. Elmo is her new favorite and I think I went a little overboard with all of the details. Either way, she had a great time. Happy Birthday Ava!

The May Family | Portraits

I L-O-V-E the May family! Katie and I used to work together and we instantly became friends after figuring out that we have similar personalities. Since then she has married her amazing husband and they have had their first child who is incredibly adorable and is just a little younger than one of my girls. I had the pleasure of doing family photos for them last year, and it has been so much fun to see how much their son Kalib has grown! Sessions with the May family are always so much fun. Even though it was freezing this day, we had a blast. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas | My Family

It’s that time of year. Lights, trees, carols, presents, shopping… it consumes people from the last bite of their Thanksgiving dinner until the last gift is opened on Christmas morning. The older I get, the faster Christmas time gets here. I envy the childhood version of myself anxiously awaiting the arrival of it all. It seemed to take forever for Christmas to come! Now, all I have to do is blink and it’s over. As a mother the best part about Christmas is watching my children’s excitement and joy while rushing to the tree and opening all of their presents. It’s something that is indescribable. My girls are my inspiration for the season now. Here are some of our holiday pictures. Please note the AMAZING banner I got on Etsy here. I hope that all of you have a truly Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
