I love photographing toddlers. Who needs the gym when I can spend an afternoon chasing and photographing them!! Little Olive was no exception, being in a new environment kept her busy enough for me to catch her in her element, much different than her first session at only a few days old. She is energetic, happy and beautiful!
I just adore the Sharbonos. Completely down to earth, fun, and radiant. I have been photographing their kids since they were babies, and I look forward to seeing them every year. Justin is an amazing and gifted musician and worship leader (check out on of his amazing songs here) and Rebecca continues to amaze me as she hold down the house when her hubby is gone and works at their church. We had a great morning and energetic time doing their photos, I can’t wait to see them again!
Good-byes are always hard for me. There have been so many wonderful people that have come in and out of my life that I absolutely love and am blessed by. On Saturday I had the amazing privilege of photographing and spending a great chunk of time with some of our close friends that we have know since college. Letting our kids run around together, eating ice cream and watching the sun go down while sharing our ups and downs was so encouraging. We will miss you Pratts, but know the Lord has great things planned for you in Austin.
I was so extremely happy to photograph the McAlpine children again. Last fall I was able to meet the 2 newest additions to their family, and after a few play dates with the kiddos, I am loving them even more. Amanda is one of my favorite people. Her life is a testimony of God’s grace. She is an amazing friend and such an encouragement in my life. Here are some of my favorites from the session. (Check out the headbands, Amanda MADE them a few days before after finding the outfits for the kids. I love!)
Karen, I LOVE the photos!!!
Amanda, BEAUTIFUL children! I really like the headbands, will you show how to make them on your blog?
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
