Hope I’m not neglecting anyone!
All the best!
Little Katelyn – 1 year
I met this little girl the day of her big birthday party! How exciting and fun! I’m loving the shots we got and hoping she took a good nap before the party.
Turning 1 is such a huge milestone! Thanks for letting me be a part of it!

we kept trying to get her to wear a hat… but, she wouldn’t have it!




little bit of mommy love…

my favorite shots of the morning! Bath time!



My baby is 2!!!!!!!!
Okay, it’s my turn. Today is my Cole’s birthday. I wanted to share a few pictures from his 2nd birthday party. I’m so happy and sad at the same time. He’s no longer my baby, but a big boy.

it was a cowboy theme.
here he is enjoying his Sheriff Cole cookie.

yummy!!!



more presents!!!


Sweet Baby Kate
I had the pleasure of photographing this new addition last week and I must say, she was so alert! Usually, I’m working with sleepy newborns, but not Kate.
She didn’t want to miss a moment. The only time she knocked out was when we went outside for some shots.



the only time she chose to sleep…. outside.


A Wedding Slideshow ;)
I’ve worked sooooo hard on this! I finally figured out after days of trying…how to put a slideshow on my blog for everyone to see. What an ordeal! I’m not the most computer savvy, but I’m so happy to present this to you! This wedding is from a couple of weeks ago… and I loved every minute. A couple of things to point out: the resolution is not 100% but, it’s pretty good for web. Also, if you pause the show for one minute….it will fully load and be easier to view.
I hope everyone can see it? Let me know if you’re having problems. Enjoy!

Neeley and Dwight
I shot this wedding a couple of weeks ago up at Little Switzerland, NC. I’ve been wanting to post some images for the bride and groom for a while now… (thanks for your patience guys!) Neeley and Dwight have been together for a long time and it was beautiful to be a part of their day. We had one of those perfect October days and the weather was just right.

this dress was the bride’s grandmothers…. I was so amazed at how classic and timeless it is…

we had a little visitor during our portraits and the bride attempted a kiss!



I don’t think he was supposed to smile…but, I got a little smirk.

beautiful.



sister caught the bouquet.



Awesome Engagement Session. So special to me!
Okay, so a long time ago in a land (not really) far away… there was a photographer starting her business…. She (hint: it’s me.) worked on her technique and love of shooting, but was in need of models. It’s so funny, I used to ask people to let me take their picture…
Anyway, enter Kelsey. I love this gal! She was there with me in the beginning, posing, laughing and always extremely beautiful. We even got an old wedding dress and pranced her around a flower field as a bride! What’s funnier is now she is going to be a bride! Kelsey is engaged and I couldn’t be more happy! What a unique experience for me to document her special day. I owe her so much and couldn’t be more thrilled! So, Kelsey, this is for you! Hope you like your sneak peek from last weekend! My camera loves you guys!!!!!!!!!!









Atlanta sessions part two…
I loved getting to shoot Hannah and Ethan again! I have to say, I’m obsessed with Ethan’s big blue eyes.







Atlanta sessions part one!!!
Okay, so it was a whirlwind 3 days in Atlanta for me last week! I’m so happy I was able to shoot so many sessions in that block of time.
Warning… there is a huge post ahead.
and more to come tomorrow.


Halle and I had so much fun! She was a natural in front of the camera!


somebody loves his mommy.


you don’t always get a smile.
