Colorado Photo Shoot I met my oldest, younger brother, Grant, when I was 20-years-old. He came up to my mid-torso and was eager to meet his new playmate. My dad and his mom had been dating for a while, but we were just meeting for the first time. Our parents got married not long after. […]

If you follow my work at all, you know by now how much I like to write a little somethin’ somethin’ about my clients. One of the most fun parts of my job is forming genuine friendships with my clients. This blog post is a little extra special, because it’s about my sissy and our […]

This month I’m hosting Sunflower Mini Sessions at one of my favorite seasonal locations—Smith-Perry Berries. So, I thought it’d only make sense to feature them, especially for anyone who may love the fun seasonal photo opportunities they offer throughout the year! A portrait session or wedding day is a big deal. Shouldn’t it be fun? […]

Since I met the Wagner family, Max’s sweet nature and gorgeous blue eyes had me itching to photograph him. I’m so excited that it finally happened! What a fun way to celebrate his second birthday with a construction site photoshoot! Jennifer coordinated a spectacular construction-themed party where Max was gifted a CAT V6 Quad ride. […]

Senior sessions are a joy to photograph because it reminds me of some of my favorite times in life when I wasn’t “adulting” quite yet, my clothes fit perfectly, and I felt like I could take on the world. 🙂 Photographing Madi’s Senior Session was no different, such a joy. In fact, when I was […]

I adored this mommy & me session in Apison TN! I first met Sara & Abby during my pregnancy when I was trying to meet other local, first-time mommies. I started a “PJ Date” group with a few mommies I already knew. We met once a month in our pjs, with unwashed hair and teeth, […]

For his 2nd birthday, we decided to include almost all of Jameson’s favorite things—Chattanooga’s famous Coolidge carousel, “ooo-ooo-ah-ah,” bubbles, blocks, Pout Pout Fish, “‘raffe,” a ball, and, of course, Mickey. I’m unashamed to admit that I probably had just as much fun as Jameson! It’s NO FUN for anyone when a photographer expects a kid […]

As if the last calendar year hasn’t been exciting enough with Beckett’s arrival…WE’RE MOVING! Don’t get too worked up, we’ll still be in the Chattanooga area. 🙂 This is such bittersweet news. Lots has changed—jobs, career paths, adding a baby (who also has some rather pricey medical needs), our property taxes have more than doubled […]

Friend, sleep training’s such a hard topic. I’ve always loved my sleep. I don’t feel good unless I get 9-10 hours. Naturally, my firstborn decided it would be fun to be a HORRIBLE sleeper. UGH! But since nine-weeks-old Beckett self-soothes to sleep. We don’t spend hours rocking or playing paci-pong. We lay him down wide […]

In a previous post I shared why Jimmy, Beckett, and I have all earned our 12-hours of sleep each night, the resources that helped get us there, and probably FAR too much insight into my Type A personality. 🙂 One of the formal sleep training methods I mentioned was the Ferber Method. I believe this […]

2018 was a HUGE year for me! It was the year of all-things-Beckett James and rebranding. Here’s a really quick recap of my year: I started the year finding out that I was pregnant with Becks (shameless mommy plug for you to visit his latest blog post!). Shot the entire year’s sessions pregnant! This was […]

January 17, 2018, was the day that every part of me and my world changed. After a few weeks of anxious waiting, and a negative home pregnancy test just two days before, I found out I was going to be a mommy. After wondering all my life how I would react when this day came, […]
