To me, I create so much more than a photograph for you. I capture your love and emotion so you can come back and hold it anytime you wish. This gift only becomes more precious as your little ones grow.

This family has stolen our hearts. As a special needs mom, I love working with my special needs clients. The tug on my heart strings tugs a little harder.
We love creating sessions where all of our clients can be comfortable. Chasing the sunset provided the most beautiful glow for this beautiful family.

see Emerson grow up on the journal
I have been blessed to photograph the Gantt family since before little Emerson was born. Following their love story from Newlyweds to Kindergarten is at the very heart of my purpose.
This session was so sweet. We woke up before the sun and met before soccer practice. Emerson and I got to catch up and I learned that she was Student of the Month! We picked magical berries and had plenty of giggles to start our day.

This session was so full of laughs that my stomach hurt from laughing so hard. We played until the sunset and captured some really sweet memories with everyone in the family.
I love it when a family comes ready to play and this one sure did. If you watch you can still see all the sweetness that took place in between the laughs.
FUll of laughs

The love of bringing baby number two home is so dynamic. You have the love for your first little one and that only doubles as you welcome your newest little one home.
Watching your first baby become the big sister or brother is so special. We loved watching little Livie get to do just that. SO many special moments.

Storyteller sessions are our favorite story to tell. We brainstorm and think about what you and your family are doing right now that you want to remember forever.
When I met with Lauren she shared how they love to take the boat out to the island almost every weekend. She had us at boat ride! We had such an amazing session.

Its the little things that make this time so special. Your son who loves to play with legos for hours at a time, or your little girl that will be the first to cook up some cookies in her little play kitchen. These are the sweet little moments that pass so quickly.
This storyteller session captured everything that makes home feel so good right now.

My friend, it's time for you to get in the picture...
You have your phone camera and tons of pictures of the kids, but where are you?
Right now is the time, not when things finally calm down (a little hint, it's never going to!) or when you finally lose those last few pounds. Right now is such a special moment in your story. Your kids will always want to remember you just like you are right now.

You have a gift of seeing things that I see in my children. You see how their sweet curls shape their face, their sweet fingers grab a flower, the love between sisters. You see everything!

Your portraits are some of my most treasured possessions - they truly capture the essence of the passion, spirit, grace, love and moments of my children that I simply can now have forever to behold because of you!!

Serena is more than capable of capturing the perfect portrait. What is so much more than that is how her portraits recreate the emotion of the day, allowing you to re-live the moment. She quickly becomes like family and we feel so blessed to have her in our life.

It is time to get you in the photo, there will never be a better time than right now
There is a difference and it doesn't happen by coincidence. There isn't just one lucky shot, instead there is a beautiful consistency that happens from hiring a professional that has spent over a decade capturing emotion as art.
