Green. Family.

I had a blast exploring Bass Lake Park with the sweetest family! I love watching these boys grow up. PLUS, we got to see the craziest fog roll across the lake! Thank y’all so much for continuing to trust me to capture these sweet times in your lives!

Ewasyshyn. Family Photos.

Y’all. Ellen is a super model. But really, I love this family so much, and it’s such a privilege to continue taking family pictures for them each year! I still can’t believe our babies…aren’t really babies!!

Camden + McKinley. 1st Birthday.

It seems like only yesterday that we were taking newborn photos for these sweet blessings. Fast forward to their FIRST birthday party, and it was full of people who love them and their sweet parents, as well as amazing decorations by their talented crafty mama. Could they be any more precious?! Happy birthday, sweet girls!

Also, let’s not forget the big moment when Lauren’s brother (with help from her precious niece) opened the box to reveal that the girls are IDENTICAL!

Camden + Mckinley. Newborn.

IT’S OFFICIAL! I’m so excited for this sweet family and to finally be able to share these pictures from December!

Words can't ever adequately express how truly amazing it is to watch your friends become parents, especially when you've waited and prayed alongside them. Meeting these precious gifts and watching the love that Dale & Lauren have for them was such a privilege. Thank you for letting me share in this special time with your family of four!

Nolan. One Year.

Has anyone else been having as much fun watching this sweet family grow as I have? How is time flying so quickly that baby Nolan is already ONE? It seems like yesterday this was Lyla. These little cuties get more fun each time I see them! And really - those baby blues are already breaking hearts!!

Weston Reed. Newborn.

The love you feel when your best friend has a baby is indescribable. I am in awe, in love, and so thrilled for Danielle and Garrett and can't wait to watch sweet Weston grow up. It seems like yesterday we were business fraternity pledges...we sure have come a long way ;) So thankful to do this mommy thing with you, sweet friend!

Miller Family

Y'all. Time with the Millers is always a good time. Seriously, they always crack me up! Danielle has been one of my very best friends since sophomore year of college. We always joke that she introduced me to my husband (fun story for another day), so I introduced her to a new career at ROI (yep, the one I just retired from, but hey, we had 5 fun years there together!). 

It was such an honor to be able to take pictures for this wonderful family while everyone could be together in one place, while also celebrating the upcoming arrival of baby J!

Also, can we talk about how gorgeous she is? Just saying...

Saletta. Family.

I have known this sweet family since I was little. Mrs. Saletta was one of my favorite teachers at church and has always been a blessing in my life. What an honor it was to be able to take pictures of their family as it grew by FOUR feet with her first grand babies! These girls were troopers in the chilly NC weather and oh so adorable. Thank you for letting me capture this special time for y'all!

Green Family.

Cameron and Cooper have to be the sweetest brothers around. And Cameron, seriously - MELT me with that smile, why don't you?? Had a blast with this sweet family who I've been able to watch grow from the time Cameron was born. Time really does fly!

Ewasyshyn Family.

First of all, it's pretty crazy to believe that Ellen is 4. I mean, just yesterday, Erin and I were wedding planning, or taking maternity pictures, or celebrating a first birthday with a star-studded birthday party. Where is the time going? Icing on the cake is our sweet babies are only a month apart!

Erin - I'm so honored to have shared so many fun memories with you and to have captured some along the way. I have always admired your strength, beauty, and of course, fashion sense ;) Looking forward to so many more with our sweet girls!

I had a blast with the entire Ewasyshyn clan...These are two very blessed and happy grandparents!

Cook Family.

His sweet baby blues. Her adorable cheesing grin. Could these kiddos be any sweeter?! I can't express how much I LOVE watching families grow over the years, and it is such a compliment and privilege to be able to capture these special seasons multiple years.

For nostalgia, be sure to check out our first family session, Lyla's first Christmas shoot, and Lyla's first birthday! Caitlin - Thank you for sharing your precious family and sweet smiles with me, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Mulutzie Family.

Y'all. Are these not the cutest kids?? These 4 siblings were on their best behavior for family pictures (seriously, I'm still impressed). 

I met Sarah at the gym a few years ago, and her friendship has been such an unexpected blessing ever since! Sarah - Thank you for the privilege of capturing your precious family. I had a blast!

Burns Babies. ONE.

This session really is ALL the feels. It seems like yesterday that Sara and I realized we were going to the same fertility doctor, and suddenly we weren't alone in our struggle! The roller coster of infertility with all its ups and downs isn't something either of us would wish on anyone, but I am so glad an amazing friendship and sweet babies came from it!

Hadley & Connor decided they couldn't wait to meet their superstar mama any longer, and they graced us with their presence 8 weeks early (just 6 days after Taylor Grace was born). They are strong and fighters like their parents, and a year later, they are the busiest and most adorable toddlers.

Sara - Thank you so much for being a cheerleader, a sounding board, a confidant, and friend. I love that we get to raise our babies together, and it was an honor to take pictures of this fun stage in life!

Megan. Two Years.

Time slow down! It seems like yesterday we were taking her one year pictures. She wasn't the biggest fan of having her picture taken today, but she was a trooper, and it just too cute!

What a good big brother to help her take pictures.
