Charleston with beautiful Nila

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

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 made it- all in one piece and safely. For the first time in four years I was able to read some of a book and my husband was able to listen to 15 hours worth of podcasts that were up his alley.

I normally don’t post personal updates on here but thought I’d post a cell phone photo or two of my bunch once we arrived and went to the beach. Although it wasn’t hot, we had a great time running around!

PS- this is the longest I’ve been away from my baby (my giant editing machine iMac) since I started. It’s on vacation too!
