Gilmore {6 months and counting}

Denver, NC  Family & Children Photography   I am still in shock that lil Gilmore is already 6 months old.  I feel like it was yesterday that I was first meeting her sweet parents in the freezing cold…with yes, my newborn’s bottle warming in my shirt. (classy, I know.) This is such a special family with so much love between them all. I am…

Michigan Vacation

South Haven, Michigan {personal} After 17 long, grueling hours in our giant SUV (that seemed so tiny filled with 3 kids and too much luggage) we finally made it to Michigan. I’m pretty sure I listened to 12 straight hours of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Two different episodes of closed down highways due to car wrecks, slowed down the trip even more. But we…

Miss Peyton {Hello World}

Mooresville, NC  Newborn Photography   This has been a busy month for babies…so many sweet lovebugs coming into this world. And oddly enough, all girls!

The Tallent Bump

Denver, NC   Maternity Photography   I think a huge part of my passion with photography is meeting new people, learning about their lives & loves and sewing their story into photographs. People are my passion…I’m sure many people can survive without talking to anyone all day. I am NOT one of those people. I need to talk to thrive, so I apologize now for…

The Lamm Family

Charlotte, NC  Family & Lifestyle Photography   Little boys melt me…I know, I am biased but really they do. I’m sure I have said this all before!

The Hetzel Family

Charlotte NC  Family & Lifestyle Photography   The Hetzel family have two cutie pies, Johnny (3 years old) and Sienna (9 months) and we had a good time playing in the gardens this past weekend!
