so i did Hailey’s newborn pics last year. this image is from that shoot and has been marked as a favorite by more people than any other image i’ve done since. so Hailey, your feet are adored by many 
look how big she is now!
she did so well in her big girl session. what now? hmmmmm….
i say we take her for a treat!
rock candy sounded like a great plan but we all underestimated how “melty” it would be. Hailey didn’t seem to mind, but whoever came up with “it’s like taking candy from a baby” really underestimated something too 
and just a note, i’m a big sucker for hats. if you bring a hat to your session, you can count on it making the blog. i love this one!
it’s so exciting to see my newborns grow into their own personalities. i’m thankful to be part of their story, honored to be chosen as the one to record it, and grateful that they remind me to appreciate the daunting everyday parts of being a mommy because my own babies are growing up just as quickly. thanks for sharing Hailey with me!
her cd is maxed out at 6.3 billion images 
she rocked so many sweet locations for me
um, really with this beauty? fave straight out of camera!
work this
and that. thank you very much.
dream
come
true!
laundrymat or laundromat ? {debatable} either way, i’m SO excited to move this to the “done it” file. no, make that the “revisit with my next rockstar client” file. 
we found the greatest colors!
and the prettiest patch of natural light on earth
can’t you see a super cute engagement session here?
k, i know i have to quit. leaving you with this very favorite over all!!!!
she might be your child’s teacher soon. i was so impressed to learn that she’s part of her high school’s teacher academy and already works with a class. i’m very thankful for the opportunities i had like that when i was a senior. it’s invaluable to get real-life experience in your chosen profession early in the game. if it’s not a good fit, you know before it’s too late. if it is, you have all the confidence you need to dive in head first. 
it’s refreshing to meet someone who has a hard time NOT smiling 
but her mom and i thought i would be great to pull some drama and “next top model” looks out of her. 
work. it. out. FIERCE!!
this is billy and meg
and this is the date they’ve chosen to join together in holy matrimony
they told me a little of their story and how they’ve known each other since like junior high. we talked about their future children and how their first son would be william the fourth { i just got a nephew that has a IV behind his name! } i learned some military dress vocabulary and we {billy excluded} discovered a common affinity for the gilmore girls. meg had great ideas and style, we share a love of photography and they were so up for anything i asked. 
this one, i swear, feels like a picture their grandkids might find in an old box someday. 
gotta love a guy who serves and honors his country. thanks to you both for the sacrifices your family will make for our comfort and freedom.
i had such a blast and as we walked back to our cars i beamed with happiness. how awesome it was to have met them- one of those fateful meetings where you just “click” and could easily become fast friends. my heart sank seconds later when they told me they’ll soon be moving across the country. i already envisioned a shoot of them and baby william IV! but meg, i’ve thought about it and all is not lost. surely you have to come back and visit family right? just work a session with me into each visit itinerary and i’ll be happy k? 
and his new little bro noah at one week old. kinda have the same smile huh?
similar kissable piggies too! tempal and nick have got two of the most adorable boys on the planet
fave!
and a nice traditional one for the christmas cards 
i had a cancellation over the weekend and after just a few minutes of texting and messaging Sunday night, i found emily, who wanted to do senior pics. apparently she’s crazy like me and decided that the very next morning was as good a time as any! she didn’t have much time, but man was she prepared. she brought all kinds of cool stuff to show her personality, and she was an open book for me so we had a blast. she wanted to start out by including some shots with her bible and church tee. i love it. she happens to go to the same amazing place i do 
i loved her scarf and hat, dress and boots funk.
i could post a hundred of her just being gorgeous, but these silly ones really make me smile.
umm, intense beauty. are kidding me with those eyes?
my fave? wait. ah who am i kidding, i can never choose one fave.
reminds me of that ballad my high school bff and i would cry and sing to each other ” i hope you dance”. em, i hope you soar!
