Newborn | Nolan

At the beginning of April, I was asked to do a  newborn + lifestyle session.  I have always wanted to do a lifestyle shoot, so I was super excited!  Granted this was the first time I had done this type of session, but I felt like it helped the baby & everyone be more at ease.  We started off in baby Nolan's adorable nursery, then finished up downstairs!  He was such a handsome little boy, & his parents are sweet as can be!

This little face cracked me up!

I couldn't help but snap this real quick, as Nolan's body guard was keeping a close eye on him!

This next one is one of my absolute favorites!

special announcement!

Last month one of my best friends, Ashton, asked if I would take pictures to help announce their pregnancy to the world - duh!  I felt super honored to be apart of this big moment.  Ashton & her family mean the world to me!  Their little girl, Ivy, is such a sweet girl - makes me even more excited for baby #2 in September!  Poor baby #2 doesn't even know yet how much the camera will be in its face!  Ivy had a blast smiling, making silly faces, & posing for me.  I could take pictures of her all day long, if she would let me.  Such a little model, I tell ya!

Congrats, Robinson family!

Newborn | Malaki

I am going to let you in on a little secret... I have secretly been dying to have the opportunity photograph this little family for forever now.  They are gorgeous & super sweet!  When the mother, Brittney, messaged me about doing her sons newborn pictures I may have squealed with joy!  I felt so honored that she would even ask me.  Needless to say, I can't tell you how excited I was for this session!  Her sweet little boy did great the entire time!  Here are a few of my favorites!

Finally caught a little smile!

That face!

Senior | Madison

I recently had the opportunity to work with Madison, who is graduating high school this year!  Oh, such a sweet girl!  I can not say enough nice things about her.  She has such a kind & caring demeanor.  I know she will go far in life!  We took her pictures on her boyfriend's families land.  Oh my goodness, it was so gorgeous!  You know we had to sneak him into a few pictures as well!  Here is a sneak peak of her session :)

AHH, that evening sun light!

CONGRATS, MADISON!

Engagement | Tony & Destinee

I was introduced to Destinee through a mutual friend (thanks, Megan!).  She messaged me about doing her & her fiance's engagement pictures.  Ah, engagement pictures!  What's not to love!?  Such a joyous & fun time for the couple!  I can not be more thrilled with the colors she chose from the two of them to wear.  Let's face it, 99% of the time, the woman is the one picking out everyone's clothes!

Destinee told me that Tony loves golf, so I knew I had to incorporate that into the session somehow!  I don't know anything about gold, but I told him to bring a few items.  I had a ring shot in my mind, & I am so happy to see it come alive!  What's even better than that?  While we were setting this shot up, Tony said, "yes!  I was looking forward to this part!"  It's always so nice to see the guy get excited during a session!  I absolutely love how it turned out!

all you need is love

I recently had the joy of shooting a fun little family session with a mom and her two kids.  I have actually known the mother, Jennifer, since high school!  When we met up on a Sunday afternoon, her daughter was a little shy at first but quickly opened up!  She began asking questions and suggesting ideas!  Too cute.  I love when kids (and adults!) do that because it makes them even more comfortable and fun for them!  Since Valentine's Day was coming up, I decided to add a little bit of that in the mix.  Enough talking, here's a little sneak peak!
