George is very passionate about baseball and his parents spend LOTS of time with him at the diamonds during this season. Having the "in action" moments captured of him on the Tigers team meant a great deal to them. Team portraits are nice to have, but check out this journalistic approach to sports photography. Go, George!
Read MoreHere’s another old Session I can’t wait to share with you in the spirit of summer fun. This quick documentary shoot for the Collins family at their farm was part of some practice photography I was doing for a workshop I was taking back in 2016. Many of these laid inspiration and vision for what I strive for in my current Sessions!
Read MoreThis hot, sticky weather has me reminiscing some of my favorite summer Sessions of the past. Last July, I had the opportunity to document the Eberle family as they awaited the arrival of their third child. I hope you enjoy these image highlights of their summer fun together.
Read MoreThere are an infinite amount of memories created inside homes. When Cody came to me with the idea of documenting his family interacting in their home before their parents sell it, I got SO excited. Cody and his brother basically grew up in this beautiful Wake Forest home with their parents and grandmother. Their interactions in this space are representative of so many special times together.
Read MoreWhen I photographed Alex and Katie's Maternity Session back in January, none of us had any idea that their sweet baby would be born just eight days later! They were still tossing around names for boys and girls at that time... On January 21st, they found out—it was a boy! I loved documenting their season as new parents of a precious, healthy newborn! The interaction of their dogs changed a little, and both grandmothers were present for this extra-special Session. Enjoy these image highlights...
Read MoreAbout five months ago, I had the honor of documenting the daily life of one of my favorite families. Not only am I encouraged by the way Blake and Jessica lead their family, but their practices of faith, health and wellness are beyond inspiring! This Session is memorable for lots of reasons I think you'll agree with: adorable kids, sweet cuddles, wood chip eating, nose-picking, surprise visit from a slimy critter, sibling squabbles, family dinner, and more.
Read MoreDocumenting this special season of pregnancy for Alex and Katie was a treat! They were due to have their baby in a few weeks from this January 13th Session, so the peaceful mood and expectant preparations were beautiful to me. Plus, I think you'll smile at the sweet involvement of their two dogs (their first two real babies!) in these image highlights...
Read MoreA while back, I had the honor of documenting the everyday, real life of the Schulte family. I can tell you confidently, after only a few hours of being a fly on the wall, it is definitely no walk in the park to have four kids under four, especially when two of them are twin baby boys. Yet, I walked away so impressed and inspired by what I witnessed!
Read MoreTarah and John adopted Aria a little over a year ago and their new life as a family of three is inspiring, fun, spontaneous and filled with more love than you can imagine. Their pups add another level of excitement, too! For this 8-hour Session, they had me document them decorating their home for Christmas + many of their favorite, everyday activities. Check out these highlights...
Read MoreBrinson and Kaitlyn [and their two sweet pups] sure know how to get ready for the holidays. I love this documentary Real Life Session that captures their current chapter of life perfectly...
Read MoreLeave your matching outfits in the closet; your vintage couch isn't going in any field. You don't need to be "good in front of the camera" for this type of session. Your house doesn't need to be spotless and your kids don't need to act like perfect angels... The more "everyday," the better!
Read MoreBryan and Katie are ready. Bryan has helped Katie prepare as much as possible. Katie has grown this baby to 39 weeks and he or she is due next week! Here's a peek into their current "real life" during this chapter of pregnancy.
Read MoreIn 2015, if you had asked me about my life, I would have told you it was boring. We were in the midst of a tough transition that I hope never to repeat. In this post, I highlight some of the reasons we had a professional photographer come document us anyway. The day-to-day scenes of our 2015 did not seem note-worthy at the time and certainly would not have been memorable, had they not been captured for us. These beautiful photographs turned our ordinary moments into cherished memories.
Read MoreA couple weeks ago, I started my second 365 photo project—a photo a day for an entire year. After successfully completing my first year of intentional photo documentation of my own life, I am absolutely addicted and thrilled to be starting a second year's worth of photos. It was definitely the best decision I have ever made and I want to share three reasons why, in hopes that you (yes, YOU) will start one of your own.
Read MoreYesterday, on October 3, this world gained a new, precious and perfect little life. Help me welcome, London Kennedy! It was my honor and privilege to photograph these very special family moments a couple hours after she was born.
