Monday, July 22, 2013…the birthday of sweet baby girl Dani Adele Lanning.  Photographing her entrance into this world was SUCH an honor and a privilege for me.   Dani’s parents – Candice and Daniel of The Beautiful Mess – are dear friends of ours.  Nearly three years ago, I had the opportunity to document the […]

Mindy and Jordan.  These two.  Ohhhhh, these two.  Between chucking marshmallows at each other, the game of chubby bunny and Jordan’s all-around hilariousness, I was in stitches throughout our time together.   I was extra grateful for the chance to photograph the parents-to-be, as back in 2010, my pregnancy with Boone overlapped with their wedding […]

Chayne and Jeremy.  My time with them photographing their engagement session at The Ivy Place was really great.  It was one of those sessions that everything just lined up.  It was one of those sessions that I felt completely in my groove….in my element.  A comfortable, fun, nice, cuddly, in love couple + gorgeous grounds […]

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to photograph author and Bible teacher Joyce Meyer at our church’s Code Orange Underground event.  Here are a few of my favorites from the evening.

What a treat it was to have our first “family of four” photo shoot with Lindsey Plevak.  Lindsey was an intern this past winter/spring for our church and was heading back to her hometown, so I was super grateful she could squeeze us in for a shoot before she left.    To see more from […]

Geoff and I really enjoyed our time with Kristen (of Kristen Cone Interiors who designed our studio space!) and Tim at their adorable tennis themed engagement session.  It was only fitting seeing as they met at their tennis club.  🙂 Their wedding will be our first wedding back after my wonderfully long maternity leave.  I. […]

To begin….a recap of how May’s goals stacked up. LIFE 1.  Lose 5 pounds.  Blasted.  Didn’t happen.  Bleh. 2.  Thomas at Tweetsie.  Oh man.  It was awesome.  The above image does a great job summing up Boone’s enthusiasm for our trip to see Thomas.  I would also highly suggest you check out this short video we took […]
