When I went to wake up McG for her first day of preschool today, she immediately started grinning ear to ear while her eyes were still closed. As she tried to open her eyes, we had this discussion: “Good morning!” I greet her. “Where do you think we are going today,” she said before I […]

I cannot express how blessed we are to have these friends. Our kids are best buds, we are a part of the same small group at church, we simply enjoy each other’s company, and they are always ready to help us out when we have a need (which has been a lot lately!). It is […]

My family and I experienced our first hurricane last weekend. We thought a vacation in Myrtle Beach was in our future, but we forgot that we cannot tell the future and in fact it was Irene that we would face. We stayed in Kinston in our home to hold down the fort, but we felt […]

I love to look through Christian & Sarah’s wedding photography to see Sarah’s smile grow brighter and brighter. I hadn’t seen Sarah since her bridal portraits session. The wedding day had finally arrived and now she could relax and enjoy all her finished plans. I met Christian for the first time that day because he […]

Introducing, once again, our little guy, aka – “baby brother,” “baby hamburger” (he got this one when he was 6 oz – about the size of a burger – gotta love my husband!), “baby helicopter” (he got this one when we heard his heartbeat), and “what’s his name.” Now, he weighs about 2.5 lbs and […]

My little brother has found himself a pretty amazing lady to spend the rest of his life. They got hitched this June in Franklin, Tennessee, and our parents threw them a second wedding reception in our hometown of Canfield, Ohio at the end of last month. I documented the hometown reception and did a post-wedding […]

One of my favorite parts of any wedding reception is seeing guests come alive in celebration of the bride and groom. The dance floor is the best place to capture personality and expressions of guests, but the photo booth may prove to be a contender. When given silly props and encouraged by a photographer, people […]

Whenever I consult with a bride prior to her bridal portraits I tell her to choose a location that she absolutely loves and is personal to her. For Sarah’s session, I had to hold in my jubilation when she told me where she wanted to do the shoot. We were headed to the historic town […]

This summer seriously flew by. My Uncle Jeff always told me that time goes faster the older you get. I’ve found that is especially true when you have little children. I am baffled at McG’s conversations (yes, conversations!) lately, and all the things she can do. She is such a little comedian (just like her […]

There is nothing quite like a field of sunflowers! Beautiful aren’t they? We had an amazing time, although it was quite hot! I will be doing more next week so contact me if you would like to schedule a session.
