Christmas is around the corner and as we all know, giving is so much sweeter than receiving. This year, I wanted to do something special- though I wasn’t sure how or what. I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately to this gift I’ve been blessed with, to be able to do what I love. […]

she gave her momma a run for her money but she was so worth it. my best friend had a baby. it’s both strange and awesome. i’ve been both overwhelmed with happiness and scared into complete anti-pregnancy-labor-needles-headscomingoutofplacestheydon’tfit submission. can’t wait for what the future of this little family holds :) love you taylor ellie xoxo

well, it’s been 7 months. and at the end of this month makes 8. we are halfway there. i suppose this should make me feel hopeful, but for some reason it just seems really far away. like really, we are ONLY halfway there? though i can’t complain. although we haven’t physically spoken since he left […]

my friends had their first baby. i not only wanted to capture little sawyer in his newborn sweetness, but also capture a slice of their life and how it has changed. the imperfections that make these pictures more real than a formal family picture ever could. this meant pajamas, messy sheets, and the whole family […]

sometimes in the middle of life’s unexpected twists and turns, you find yourself in a happy place. dianna + andre have taught me a lot of things. they have taught me that it is totally acceptable to drive 45 mins into the city if it means finding the best burger in town. they have taught […]
