I was so happy to get to see the Schubert Family again, and they welcomed me so kindly into their beautiful home. Scott and Egle have the most precious little girl Gabi- and we were celebrating her first birthday! It was amazing to see the change in Gabi from the minute I walked in the door to the end when I was leaving. She was super shy to start and really opened up as time went by. She danced the moment she heard a good tune…and when I say “good” I mean- an awesome pop song that we all would love as well. 🙂 I loved their carefree way of life. We all just hung out in their home enjoying some family time…and just being real. No put on poses or shows. This is what it’s all about with family photography in my eyes!! I hope you enjoy a few of their beautiful photos!!

After months of waiting…we FINALLY got to celebrate this beautiful baby bump!!! CJ contacted me right after they found out they were expecting and I was so so excited to see her! They are expecting their first baby in April, and it’s a girl! Baby Brooklyn is coming into a world with so much love for her, and how could that not warm your heart?! CJ and Ryan had to share the spotlight with their first baby, Marlon as well- their sweet dog! We had such a great time playing, laughing and just hanging out chatting…the time flew by! I could post 50 more images from their session and still not feel like I showed you all of my favorites! I hope you enjoy their growing love…and get excited to see their newborn baby girl in April! 🙂

I can’t even believe it’s time to wish lil Walt a very happy first birthday, seriously? Where does a year go? I love love love this precious Shait Family! We changed up our traditional session scenery this time and met uptown in the North Davidson area for a little urban flare! After playing around the streets we went into the fabulous Smelly Cat coffee shop for a hot chocolate and some snuggling! So fun, always! Havens, their beautiful daughter gives me every possible reason to want to steal her away and add her to our family. Her singing and dancing brings in a crowd for sure! We ended with Walt’s cake smash, with a Fat Tuesday theme…this boy was born on one fabulous Tuesday! 🙂 I hope you enjoy…I love their love!!!
2014, I am now ready for you.

Here it is…the end of 2013. What a awesome way to finish up the year…two lil dudes, a bunch of balloons and some celebrating!! (which obviously included some fabulous singing too!!) Stuart just turned ONE, and Jack just turned 3- what’s not to celebrate?! I had so much fun rolling around, dancing and singing with these guys- can’t wait to see them all again!!! Hope you enjoy!!!
and of course I have to share this typical brotherly love moment. No session is complete without at least one outtake. 🙂

The Gray Family were so wonderful to photograph. Little Landen is absolutely precious and loved like no other by his mommy and daddy! Their first baby Panda joined us too and made it even more fun!! Did I mention how much I love animals? Especially doggies!!! I can’t wait to see this family again for Landen’s 1st birthday session!! Hope you enjoy!!!
With this being my second to last 2013 post, I just have to say how blessed I feel for meeting this precious family and all the others this year. My journey with photography is so different (as I am learning) from so many other photographers…I continue to want to learn, grow and improve daily in my camera, lighting and post-processing skills but way more then all that I want to know people. I want to hear their stories, and share their love. I grow personally (selfishly) in this skill much more then I ever expected or dreamt. I judge less, accept more…respect each & every life so very much more than I did when I began. I am learning to balance my great love for people, wanting to please and being the wife, mother and woman I am hoping to be. It isn’t as easy as one would expect. I appreciate all of you supporting me, and trusting in me. Thank you. xo

Why don’t I shoot downtown more often??? I always ask myself that after I see what fun images I take downtown! It has been a year since I have seen the sweet Hill Family and their babies have grown so much!!! We ran around like wild monkeys and I was excited to see if any of the pics had everyone looking! Toddlers have their own minds, no doubt!! Carson is 3 and cracked me up the entire time. He was on a mission, and it didn’t involve the crazy lady with the camera. 🙂 Hope you enjoy this beautiful family!!
The Geers Family

I hate to sound repetitive but I must have had a year of all my favs…because the Geers are at the top of my list for most fabulous families I adore photographing. It is wild how easy they make my job. It reminds me how it isn’t a job…and how much I LOVE what I do. Kelly & Greg have some of the sweetest, well-manered kids I have ever met, plus they couldn’t be any more adorable if they tried. Wonderful love shows in photos…look, and you will see. xxoo
The Buford Family

Probably the coldest morning of the year, I met the Buford Family for the first time…and it was 150% worth every second!!! Rockin the broken arm and awaiting my surgery I managed to layer up and get my camera some happy time. The Buford’s were beyond amazing. I still can’t believe how positive they all were although I knew not 1 of us could feel our fingers or toes!! Their lil muffin Landon just turned 2 and lit up the sky with his big, sweet smile!! Two year old boys give me an excuse to run around and dance like a fool…so I stayed a little warmer then everyone else! 🙂 Hope you enjoy…
The Williams Family

I was honored once again of photographing one of my dearest friends, the Williams. I can’t explain to others how wonderful & grateful I feel when my friends trust me with such an important job of capturing their forever memories. I get all warm & fuzzy inside thinking about it. Christy & Trey are the closest thing I know to a fairytale. Their love seems magical…thats the only word I can come up with honestly. The have a special love, and as a photographer I picked up on it the very moment they stepped in front of my lens. Now with a third baby, life is much more chaotic and there is a lot less time to really focus on each other but they still stand strong. I love watching their family grow. I hope you enjoy their happy chaos as much as I do!!!
