Flying with a child can be daunting! Since my father had his second stroke, we’ve been flying from Tennessee to Colorado every 2-3 months. If you’re new to this, like I was, you’re probably anxious for tips, product recommendations, and what to expect from airline policies. In this post, I’m sharing all that and more […]

This post made it so worth invading personal bubbles and straddling strangers to get the shot! I’ve always wondered what Styled Shoots are all about, and since I’ve decided to specialize on wedding photography, I figured I’d start 2020 with my first one! 🙂 When I saw Styled Shoots USA advertising for a Tuscan Escape […]

When Paige texted me on Christmas Day sharing that her father, Punk, is not in good health and their family won’t be together again for several more years, I knew I had to make their family’s generational photoshoot happen. Their family’s story pulls at my heart in a special way during this season of MY […]

I’m so blessed to have friends like the Roses. They have been a HUGE part of our village since Beckett was born. Bayley walked with my family through some of the toughest times with Beckett and my postpartum anxiety. She stayed and cared for Beckett overnight so Jimmy and I could have a Benadryl-induced sleep […]

I met Emilie for the first time two years ago when I photographed her sister, Elena’s, high school senior session. SOMEHOW enough time has gone by for it to be Emilie’s turn! Funny enough, Emilie’s Cleveland TN senior photos session date was EXACTLY two years after from Elena’s session. To. The. Day. Ha! It was […]

It was such a treasure for me to photograph the May & Miles family at Chester Frost! I met Stacey when I was working in the Neonatal ICU. She’s a talented pediatric physical therapist! During one of the times that I shadowed her for fun, she taught me how to safely change a diaper on […]

This isn’t your average Christmas tree; it’s a Thankful Tree! I wish I could take credit for this idea. I was introduced to the idea by a primary care physician who worked with me on a faith-based research study for Advent Health System and Duke University. During one of our weekly check-in meetings, he beamed […]

Christmas Minis are definitely one of my favorite seasonal minis to do. There’s a special kind of excitement in anticipation of the season…and I don’t get soaked with sweat from Summer’s heat, ha! This post has Day 2 previews of sweet new AR Family members! You can find Day 1 here. Enjoy! 🙂

I was going to wait to share any Christmas Mini Session previews until I had captured previews from BOTH mini session dates…but I can’t wait. Previews from the first date are just TOO CUTE! Just look at these precious families and adorable littles and you’ll understand why! <3

Fall Maternity Session with the Taylor Family The Taylor family is two with baby #2 in just two weeks! So, we snuck in a maternity session that included Big Sister Hadassah and Matt. Liz worked nights in the Neonatal ICU I used to work at, but we never met until today! It’s still so cool […]

Downtown Fall Session with the Turpen Family This session is pretty special to me. On World Prematurity Day, I photographed the Turpen family, who I first met in the Neonatal ICU when Molly was 34 weeks gestation. Now, she’s a lively 3-year-old!!! It was just the coolest thing to see her as a healthy Big […]
