Charleston with beautiful Nila

Posted on February 24, 2019

February 24, 2019 Lifestyle Maternity Session

I cannot believe it has been almost a year again since I’ve shared beautiful families and kiddos with the world on here!! Wowzers!! Hello procrastination!! I deserve a medal for dropping the ball on blogging. I’ll start from most recent and try to work my way backwards to catch you all up! Photography and reading emotions and people are my thing- but blogging and business jazz- is not. I am so grateful for another incredible year doing what I adore. You guys have no idea how happy it makes me to be able to capture all your memories and sweet moments. I love every second of it!! We have a ton of gorgeous families coming up for the peach blossom minis within the month and I know they’re going to take all of our breath away. Can’t wait to share!

For now let’s start with my dear friend Nila. Her and her hubby are due in April with their very first baby boy!! She is the most gorgeous mama to be ever- inside and out! She glows! I feel so fortunate to be able to photograph this time for them and I cannot wait to meet their little blessing. Newborn snuggles are in order!! I loved my time with her in Charleston, South Carolina and could easily just stay forever! We soaked up the beaches and the old city! The beauty is everywhere! I hope you can enjoy a few moments!!

Chat soon friends!! xx

I think it’s finally safe to say the words…IT’S SPRING!! The beautiful sunshine and warm/hot temps are here for good now!! Yippee!!!! We have all been waiting for this! Especially all of us that work outside, and really don’t enjoy the whole “April showers” thing! Anyways- cheers! With that being said, I’ve been SWAMPED with sessions!! Gorgeous families and kiddies and landscapes, oh my. I hate to hold out sharing with all of you, so in no great order- here are a few moments I’ve gathered this month! (below)

Also- a little housekeeping is hopefully coming along too. *Game plan- update my blog and website. Pray that it actually happens.

Lastly- when I emotionally can handle it, I will share with you all lots and lots of incredible images & memories of my favorite best buddy that passed away a week ago. Cooper was almost 14 years old and we had to say goodbye. He was the most loved and adored french bulldog on the earth. I am 100% sure I’ll never get over him (yes, tears flowing fast even now as I type this) but I hope soon I can honor him on here so you all get a little taste of how special he was to us.

ok.

now for the beautiful people. xx

Some personal FUN!

Posted on March 8, 2018

2 days in a row?! Now this is a big deal.

All you moms out there know how hard it is to get 3 minutes to your self. Especially when you start your day with two babies in your bed. (aka- who sleeps?!) But here I am- showered, dressed (well sort of. as long as pjs count), fed and sitting alone with my second (reheated twice) coffee actually blogging and emailing and editing away. It’s a big deal.

I am planning on keeping things simple around here. (I write like I talk. Those of you that know me, know this.) But I do want to share a few pics of my people with you guys. Isla Drew turned ONE. WHOA. I have 5 kids now and 0 babies. That hurts. I still want 100000 babies. Which I thought that feeling was suppose to go away once you were done having kiddies. Nope. Anyways, she’s awesome and loving and silly and truly a gift. Funniest little unicorn you ever did see. She adores her brothers and they are obsessed with her. She fits right into their crazy, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Some of our sweet friends and family are in these photos as well. Life is so precious, I want to remember every moment. And every loved one.

Oh and some exciting news…my good friend Jessy (fab photog) and I are hosting our very first Photog Mama Photography class in a little over a week. I can’t wait to share all the fun with you guys. ❤

ok Happy Thursday beautiful friends!! xx

Hi Hudson

Posted on July 26, 2014

Davidson, NC {newborn photography}

What better way to end my Saturday but to show off a precious little cutie I met a couple weeks ago! When I walked into the Maiura’s home I knew I would love them instantly…they had 2 loving doggies greeting me front and center! And to top that off…one was my favorite breed of all time, a french bulldog! 🙂 Ok not to stray away from the real reason I was lucky to meet this family, they had just welcomed their first little one to the world! Colleen and Tim already had it together too. I was impressed. Hudson has the good life. No doubt. We seriously laughed the entire session and had such an awesome time in their gorgeous home!! Hudson is perfect and you’ll agree!!

Enjoy!!

xo Happy Saturday!!

The O’Hara Family

Posted on March 2, 2013

Mooresville, NC Family Photography

Finally, I’m catching up a little on all my back logged sessions and emails! 🙂 YAY!!!

PS- this is very exciting news for most of you…I am going to sit down today and FINALLY create a photography facebook page. {get pumped!} this is a super gynormous deal for me, so wish me luck!!! And be on the look out!! xo

now, on to this irresistibly cute family….

I have been so excited for a while to finally get my hands on this little Stella…I watched through facebook her homecoming from the hospital and her weekly snapshots. Each one a little more hair, a new bow and a more precious little girl– if that’s possible. Meghan and her husband Micheal live in Columbia, SC so I am even more honored to be able to capture their new little family as it grows! Meghan and I went to high school together, so I knew we would have fun! The sad news is…Stella had just started her very first little sickness, and smiles were not so easy to come by. (as they are normally!) Magically towards the end we got her excited and she beamed up at us for a few moments! YAY! We did have the most amazing weather, beautiful sun beams to match this beautiful family! Enjoy!!!
