Welcome, Baby Mikayla!

There really is nothing I love more in the world than a newborn baby. The tiny hands, the little feet, and those teeny tiny diapers. If only they didn’t tend to pee all over me (and the parents bed) when I’m trying to take their picture. All joking aside, it was my honor to photograph [...]

Awaiting Baby Mikayla

It was so much fun photographing two of my closest and longest friends, Mike and Rebecca, on Sunday. They are pregnant with their first baby, a little girl. Mike seems a lot more stressed about her impending arrival than Rebecca, but we keep assuring him he’ll survive, even if he does end up passing out [...]

Trey & Laura – Again!!

I had the pleasure of photographing this amazing couple for the 3rd time! I was lucky enough to do their engagement photographs about 18 months ago, their wedding last May, and now some more photos of them… just because. This couple seems more in love every time I see them, which makes me so happy. [...]

Beautiful Madisyn!!!

This has got to be the cutest baby I’ve been fortunate enough to photograph in a long time! What a cutie! Only 4 months old, but trying really hard to get moving. We had a hard time trying to keep her still long enough to get a photograph of her.  Thanks to her amazing mom [...]

More than just Friends; They’re Sisters

Here is a collage of two little girls that melt my heart, Julia and Evelyn. These girls are sisters, if you can’t tell by the resemblance!! It was difficult to get them to sit still and smile for long, cause these girls (especially Evelyn) prefers to show off her silliest faces to the camera.

Waiting for Grayson…

There is hardly anything more beautiful than a pregnant woman. And Lydia is no exception! It was such an honor for me to be able to photograph her in the month preceeding the arrival of her son, Grayson Wayne. And I have to admit that she fits better in her pre-pregnancy jeans than I do in [...]

So, I’m still ‘off’ of work after having Tristan in August, but I wanted to share another new picture of him for anyone who might be checking up on me in my long absences from the internet.

Professional Photography

I know that in a time when everyone can have a great camera and set the system to “AUTO” and get great pics, its hard sometimes to justify professional pictures. But even as a professional photographer, I still go and have my photograph professionally taken by someone else. Family is too important to let an [...]
