Lifestyle Favorites of 2017

I have had the incredible privilege of photographing so many special events and memories for people this year! As I started pulling my favorites I realized I had to break it down into lifestyle favorites and bridal, wedding, and engagement favorites. There are just too many to pick from! I have gotten to photograph several births, siblings meeting for the first time, newborn snuggles, special announcements, and the sweetest families! I am so grateful for those who have continued to allow me to photograph their special memories and those who let me in for the first time! Honestly, it has been an incredible year and such a privilege for me!! I am so grateful, and I cannot wait to see what 2018 has in store for this little business! 

Waiting on Baby Emelia

This couple is so precious. Their story is one of tears, patience, and how the Lord has blessed them. I taught third grade with Meg this year. She became such an incredible friend that I am so grateful for. Finding out that these two were expecting was one of the best things. There was so much joy and anticipation. It was such an honor to take these maternity pictures for she and Chris, and also photos of their new baby girl, which I can't wait to share! Chris and Meg, I know you have never experienced any kind of joy like the one of holding Emelia in your arms! She is such a doll, and you guys are amazing parents!

Sarah Lynn (6 months)

I have so much catching up to do, because now this baby is almost a year old! I have had the privilege of taking her pictures for almost a full year! I can't wait to share her 9 month pictures as well, but for now, here are some sweet 6 month shots! It was a freezing cold and windy day, and this little angel rocked it out with tons and tons of smiles! From the minute she got out of the car she turned it on! She is so precious!!

Thank you Waite family for letting me take that baby girls pictures!! I just love her and love your sweet family!

The Reid Family

This is one of my favorite families! I love getting to see these girls grow, and this family is just the sweetest! We had a short mini session back in December, and I wanted to share a few from their session!Thanks so much Reid's! I LOVE getting to take your pictures!!

Baby Amelia (newborn)

I was so excited to meet sweet Amelia! When I walked into their home it was incredibly hard to believe that her mom had just had a newborn. Her home was incredibly put together, and she looked amazing! Amelia was one of the sweetest newborns. She didn't fuss once and stayed asleep the entire time! It was such a great session!Blakely and David, thanks so much for letting me take photos of your sweet Amelia! She is beautiful!

Sarah Lynn (3 months)

It's hard to believe that I just did this girls 6 month photos (which I can't wait to share), but back in December we took some 3 month photos! I met up at their gorgeous home. I love doing shoots at home. It was casual, but so beautiful! Her parents have become sweet friends of ours and it was so fun to take her pictures and watch this little peanut grow! Sarah Lynn is a little ham and was so sweet!

Anna (senior)

To be honest, I don't do a ton of senior sessions. I tend to do more weddings, engagements, and families. However, I LOVE when I get to do them. I don't have to worry about anything! Usually, by the time they are seniors, they don't have to be bribed to smile :) Anna was a JOY to work with! She is beautiful and so sweet! We had a blast and she was just so easy to work with! It was also such a pretty fall day with some amazing colors on the trees!Thanks for letting me take these for you Anna! It was so fun!
