Another day, another senior, and yep yep yep…another blast from my past. 😉 If Hope were a bird, she’d be a hummingbird. Small, lovely, vivacious, full of life, strong-hearted, and fast paced while still being able to rest her wings and bask in the moment of being content with the simple.  She has small-town in her veins, […]

Yet again, I’m here to bring you another one of my gorgeous seniors that I knew as a child. 🙂 This girl has always held a special place in the bottom of my heart….if you could see that place I’m quite sure it would be a periwinkle blue box tied up with a yellow ribbon filled with […]

It’s not everyday you can say you’ve known someone since you were born. But with this girl…its absolutely a true story. Our mamas were friends while we were both still “in the oven” and then we joined the outside world just 15 days apart. {She’s the older one. Which is always how we explained why […]

For I know the plans I have for you,declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. || jeremiah 29:11 || Life is such a funny creature with all its unexpected twists and turns. I don’t want to go all cliche and use the box of chocolates analogy…but it’s true, you know. […]

When I want to tell the story of how and why I became interested in professional photography…it is impossible to do so without mentioning Kristen Leigh. She is the first photographer I ever blog-stalked. I feeeeell hard for her work…her writing….and her “K inside a gray thought bubble” watermark. (Gosh, that thing was sharp.) 😉  […]

Y’all’ve heard me spin the beginning of this tale time and time again…In the days of old, this girl was just one of my photography heroines. Someone I masterfully blog stalked. Then she was my mama-hen for a week when I was one of her first interns. Then {this is where things start getting fun}, we became […]

Me and this girl that you’re about to meet go way back…waaaaay back. Like…Kindergarten. 🙂 She was always sweet spirited, soft spoken, thoughtful, and had the cutest laugh and smile. This year, we’re graduating.  Yeah! We’re seniors! Oh goodness! We’re so old! Where did the time go?? Seriously!! When we were that little, back when I […]

The day I met Kayden Ray I could tell that he was shy. I know having a girl take pictures of you doesn’t exactly sound like a 9 year old boy’s dream. You could see in his eyes that he wanted to run and be free and jump off of all the high surfaces that […]

A very long time ago…longer than any one of us can even try to imagine, God made a plan. It was a creative, detailed, just, interesting, and perfect plan. And somewhere in the middle of that plan there was a baby named Nolan James. God, who puts the solitary in families, had chosen this baby […]

What is it, this golden sheer draping itself over us Like silken tapestry painting the sky and everything below? Tis the last drop of summer’s light Treasure it, children Because sooner than you would like to believe It is gone.  You probably have already gathered how dearly I love these girls. I am both highly […]
