Photo Blog

Welcome to my blog!

This blog is a snapshot into what I am currently
doing in both my personal and professional life. My hope is that you will get a better idea of both my photographic style and of who I am as a wife and mother in my every day life.

You will see that I LOVE my clients and the fact that I get to be creative every day. I see my job as so much more than the art of photography, it is an opportunity to get to know my clients and share life with them. I am inspired and challenged every day by the couples and families I get to photograph. It is such a unique privilege to capture such momentous occasions in people's lives. Because I build a relationship with my clients, I often feel more like a friend and guest rather than a vendor. I love having the chance to celebrate along side the people I get to work with and to give them images that will help them remember and honor these precious moments for years to come.

Thanks for celebrating these moments with me!

Elliot {Durham Portrait Photographer}

Love this little guy and his family! I can’t get over Elliot’s BIG bright blue eyes and sweet smile…they are to die for! We’ve been friends with Courtney and Brian for YEARS (another set of college friends) and were so excited to finally get to meet their little man, Elliot. They’ve been living in Boston so we don’t get to see them as often as we would like, so it was really wonderful to catch up with them and capture their sweet family. They are such a sweet, playful bunch, I just adore them. Here are a few of my favs from our little session…

what did I tell you about those eyes?

this next one kills me…that is one cute kid!!

a few with Momma…

Court, you are gorgeous!

So great to see you guys and can’t wait for you to move to VA so we can do it more often!

Cooper {Durham Portrait Photographer}

August 30, 2010

Last weekend I got to photograph Cooper and his amazing parents, Jason and Ashley. John and I have been good friends with Jason and Ashley since college (Jason was one of John’s college roommates) so it was so much fun to hang out with them and capture their sweet family. Cooper is so cute. He has one of the best smiles and I LOVE his chubby little cheeks! Here are a handful of favorites from our afternoon together…

love that little smile!

sweet little baby feet…

I can’t handle these cute little chubby cheeks! Cooper is right up there with Hayston in terms of his chubby-baby status, but Hayston still has him with his chubby legs.

a couple with Mommy…

I just had to include these next two because they made me laugh so hard. Cooper is the type of kid you had to be quick with if you wanted to capture his smile. As soon as I lifted my camera he would make a hilarious grumpy face. These next two were back-to-back shots I took…the first one is happy…
