Elliot’s 1 Year Pictures

This little man just turned 1 and he is on the move!  I think the only time he sat in one spot is when we got the cake out for cake smash portraits.   I photographed Elliot for his 6 month pictures and I’m still in love with those beautiful blue eyes!  This 1 year old session was […]

Fall Family Portraits | Shriners

This family holds a special place in my heart…we not only have become great friends, but they have been influential in helping my husband & I grow in our faith.  There aren’t too many couples that I can say we “do life” together, but this is one of them!  Kelli was in need of some family pictures […]

Senior Portrait Session | Mackenzie

Fall color was in full swing 2 weekends ago and the weather was perfectly mild with a chance of rain of course.  I had outdoor senior portraits scheduled right about the time a storm was going to move through our area.  We bumped the pictures up by 30 minutes and that was all we needed.  You would never […]

Clifford Sister Portraits

I had the privilege to photograph these two beautiful little angels this past weekend.  It took some convincing and a little bit of princess talk, but Kinsley came around and had no problem getting in front of the camera.  Kloey was ready to go as soon as she saw my furry rug she got to sit on!  Because it […]

Sutton Family Portraits

Julie contacted me several weeks ago about family pictures and senior portraits for her not so willing son.  See…Julie is a smart lady!  She knew how much her oldest son didn’t want Senior pictures, but she also knew how much her boys loved her and wanted to make her happy.   So, like any good […]

Large Family Portraits

Each year my in laws have a reunion, The Marrs Family Reunion.  Every reunion there are old photos displayed and new photos taken.  The photos taken are always quick snap shots of multiple different groups.  We have never really organized a nice large family portrait.  It’s silly really…the hardest part is coordinating a date and […]

Baby Titus

    And then there were 5… Friends of ours had their third baby boy last week.  Little Titus was so handsome and looks just like his brother Eli, it is almost scary!  This rambunctious family of 5 kept me on my toes and the result was beautiful.  We photographed everything except the kitchen sink.  […]

Sue’s Family Portraits

More people need to have portraits taken with extended family members.  I’m not going to pretend like planning a large family portrait is super easy, but I don’t think you will find one person that will say they regretted having that portrait with grandma, kids, grand-kids, and great grand-kids!  I look back at some of my own extended […]

Gifting Family Portraits

Portraits are the best gift you could ever get your parents or grandparents.  When I’m deciding on what gifts to give my friends and family members I try to use these parameters: something unique, something they wouldn’t normally buy themselves, and something that is related to their interests.  Portraits are always unique because it has […]

Check Out These Baby Blues

I can’t think of a better way to start off Mother’s Day weekend with anything other than a mother/son photo shoot.  6 month old Elliot must have known how much this portrait session meant to his mom, because he was a perfect angel!  Elliot’s eyes will make anyone melt; these baby blues are the highlight […]
