Itty Bitty ...

This is the ittiest bittiest newborn that I have had the pleasure of photographing....weighing just over 4 pounds. Isn't she precious?

Santa Baby ...

Happy Holidays....from my family....to yours

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a safe & peaceful New Year!!!

Cousins ...

These cousins surprised their parents & grandparents with portraits for Christmas. How special is that?!

A miracle within...

I absolutely love maternity sessions.

And it's so wonderful to meet the little one.......

Family Photos . . .

Why is it that we wait for monumental moments (i.e. weddings, baptisms, graduations, etc) to get the whole family in a picture? I'm talking snapshots, in addition to professional portraits. Tomorrow should not be taken forgranted.....because some day the opportunity will be gone in the blink of an eye. Don't let your family fall into the could've, would've, should've! The time is now! Get your loved ones together, grab your camera, and take some pictures. Do it regularly!!! Someday the memories of spending time together and the pictures that allow you to re-live those moments will be your GREATEST treasure!

I have had the pleasure of photographing this family on multiple occasions . . .

Give me a call when you & your family are ready for a studio or location session!

A Mother's Love ...

Meet my daughter! You don't see many girls on the football field. YES, she REALLY plays football...and she's good. Taylor--you are a beautiful girl, inside & out. I admire your inner strength and determination. I'm so proud of you and will support you 100% in reaching your goals & fulfilling your dreams. XO



Her daddy is one of her biggest fans. They have such an amazing relationship. Love you both!!!

I appreciate the opportunity to photograph the M.M.Y.T.F.L. again this year! It's been fun getting to know the kids, coaches, and parents over the years. Many thanks to Mayor Miller for your continued support of such a fabulous program!!!
