Chelsea and Nate are great friends of ours!  Nate and my husband have had some great fun on the Gator back in these woods.  The same woods that they use to romp around in were transformed into a beautiful backdrop for their family portraits.  The day was absolutely perfect for pictures.  The neutral color pallet […]

Alysse’s Maternity Portraits

My sister and her husband are preparing for their first child.  I’m so excited for her and can’t wait til their little Everly Anne arrives!  Maternity portraits are best taken between weeks 32-36.  Much before 32 weeks and your baby bump isn’t prominent enough and after 36 weeks you begin to get uncomfortable.  Let’s be […]

Our Family Picture 2015

Each year we do a family picture in the fall for our Christmas cards.  For the past several years my husband has participated in a fundraiser to raise awareness for men’s health called Movember.  This involves shaving his facial hair into a creepy mustache for the entire month of November!  Therefore, it is my personal […]

Christmas Family Portraits

This family won a gift certificate, and I’m so glad they did!  Their perfect mild day turned into perfect Christmas family portraits.  Formal family portraits outdoors can be tricky sometimes…Soggy ground, heals, crisp white dress, and wind are always a concern, but all of the risk paid off.  Vicki and her family were great to […]
