Caroline and her husband were ecstatic to find out they were pregnant!

While she battled morning sickness – an uncomfortable yet reassuring…
This petite little beauty was made her appearance into the world much earlier than anticipated.

When you know that cake is coming, it’s pretty hard to be patient through a photoshoot. Sweet little Greyson was a few months over a year old when we did his session. As the saying goes, the days are long, but the years are so very short when it comes to little ones. Before Greyson’s…
She’s here!! If you saw LaTasha’s beautiful maternity session just a few weeks ago, you know that she was expecting a sweet baby girl any day!

It seems like the hottest thing in baby photography at the moment are “Cake Smashes” and other offshoots that use things like jars or baby food, pancakes, even pasta and tacos! So I wanted to give you a little information about them to help you decide if this fun session is right for you and…

Newborn photography sessions are very different from all other sessions. In general, as a photographer you have to be even more attentive to your family’s needs.

Too often as moms we exclude ourselves from the big moments. We are always on it when it comes to photographing our baby’s first steps, birthdays, and milestones – even just daily life – but we’re rarely in those photos. How many photos of playing kids do you have on your phone – with yourself…

So when you are a scheduling newborn photo session, I understand why some parents feel hesitant and ask many questions beforehand – they should! More important than capturing beautiful first photographs of your brand new…
For this beautiful newborn session, I had the pleasure of photographing the daughter of a local television news personality.

She’s so talented, and I really enjoyed getting to know her during…
