Portraits from the Past

My mission is to produce exceptional portraits for the “Now” that will become cherished memories of the “Past”.  This statement is the body of why I love portrait photography.  You can imagine my excitement when my husbands grandmother (Norma) found an old photo her relatives in front of their homestead.  The picture has so much meaning […]

Our Thankful Tree

It is going to seem ironic that I’m saying this on my photo blog, but I follow very few blogs and the few that I follow rarely make me take action or even hold my interest long enough to get to the end of each post with the exception of one, Jones Design Company.  This […]

More Beach Family Portraits

Sorry it has taken me so long to get these out, but has been a crazy first week back :).  As promised I have some more beautiful beach family pictures.  Our family is already talking about going back.  These photos were taken in Gulf Shores, AL. I had planned on getting at least one family […]

Gardner Family Portraits on the Beach

My family and I just got back from a much needed vacation!  It has become a tradition to go to Gulf Shores, AL each year for a week.  This year there were 33 family members total; 13 of which were children and 9 of the children were under the age of 7!  We had such […]

Outdoor Maternity Photos

Maternity pictures have become extremely popular recently.  However, it takes a lot of courage and self confidence to get in front of a camera for many expecting mothers.  Heck, many people don’t like being in front of the camera when they aren’t pregnant!   I finally talked my friend/coworker Madison into getting some maternity portraits. […]

Impromptu Photo Shoot

Several weeks ago we had an impromptu photo shoot that turned out beautifully!  Sometimes the unplanned portrait sessions turn out better than the planned one’s.   Contact me today to schedule a relaxed, fun portrait session for your kiddos. This is the typical start to most of our photo shoots…me dragging the kids to my […]

Children Milestone Portraits

How often and when should I get my child’s portraits taken?  Well…if you ask me I think you should get them taken all the time 🙂  In all seriousness it is really up to you.  A child has the most significant and fastest changes during the first year of their lives.  That is why it […]

Green Wedding

I know…I know… I don’t do weddings:)  But when my best friends mom contacted me and asked me if I could shoot her wedding it was such an honor and privilege for her to even consider me that I couldn’t say no!  Thank you Karen for entrusting me with such an important day.  I hope […]

Tulips for Mom

My mom is always asking me to take pictures so that she can have some new wall art!  Last weekend we had family up for Liam’s 2nd birthday and I had some fresh tulips on the table.  She immediately pointed them out and said she found her next piece of wall art…I shot several quick […]

Noah “The Little Man”

Little Noah stole my heart right away!  Nikki, Scott, and Auntie thank you for being so open and willing to lend a hand, allow me to rearrange your furniture, and climb all over your couch:).  This little premie knew how to work the camera!  What a champ and an IU fan to boot whoop whoop! […]
