My Blog

I had so much fun taking pictures for the A family. I have to admit when I first got there, I was a wee bit nervous. I always get nervous when I have a session with someone other than a close friend. But they were all so laid back and kind, it made my job all the more fun. I had them meet me at the downtown Brentwood movie theater. Little did I know there was a street fair going on that day! Fortunately, we were shooting down the road away from the crowd. Thank you so much A family for the wonderful session. I had a blast! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek:)

This is my very dear friend that I’ve known since she was in high school when I was her summer camp counselor. Fast forward eight or so years and she is a loving wife and wonderful mommy to two girls, with another baby on the way. I cannot express enough how much she means to me. Not only is she gorgeous on the outside, but she is the most compassionate and caring person I know. Even in high school her kind heart was evident.

Her and her husband decided not to find out the gender of the baby, so we are waiting not so patiently for the baby to arrive so we can find out. She’s even going to let me inside the delivery room to photograph the baby as soon as he or she is born. I CAN NOT wait! Then there’s newborn pictures. I’m going to have so much fun!

Jos, I know you’re not feeling the greatest since you’re pregnant, but I hope you know how truly beautiful you are. Just ask your husband:)

A couple weeks ago, my good friend allowed me to take some pictures of her so I could play around with my camera and fulfill a vision I had in my head. When I first had this idea, I immediately thought of her. She is so gorgeous and a natural in front of the camera. I know many say there’s no such thing as being photogenic, but if there is, she’s the closest it gets to it. Can you believe she has three young kids!?  Not only is she beautiful on the outside, but she’s beautiful on the inside and I’m so blessed to be able to call her my friend. She’s also insanely talented! From cooking, to baking, to decorating, to writing, and now to photography, she can pretty much do it all. You name it, she can probably do it if she puts her mind to it.

Thank you friend, for being there for me and so many others.

A couple weeks ago, I had the pleasure of not only attending a one year old’s birthday party as a guest, but I also had the pleasure of taking some pictures of the birthday girl on her special day. This family has a special place in my heart and I’m so blessed to have them as friends. A little fun fact…my husband and I started dating right around their wedding:) I was a bridesmaid and he sang in the ceremony. We had already met, but it was the weeks leading up to the wedding that we really started getting to know each other.

Little MiKenna was so cute, she wanted nothing to do with her cake, but was more interested in chewing the plate it was on! Can someone say teething?

I usually post most images in color, but thought it’d be a nice change to do black and white.

And just for a little pop of color:) Aren’t her bloomers so cute!?

Thanks so much guys for allowing me to have two special roles in your sweet daughter’s birthday.
