Birth + Motherhood Storyteller
Today is Miss Darci's 5th birthday so it's the perfect day to blog her family's session at the pumpkin patch! Usually Bonnie (Darci's mommy) has the whole session planned out with a certain theme but this year she didn't. Since her birthday is in October I suggested we do a session at the pumpkin…
As soon as I walked into the Tucker Family's home, they made me feel like family. I had never met Tracey but she immediately made me feel like I had known her forever. I love when that happens. The Tucker's invited me into their home to photograph sweet baby Blake and their family. I'm so…
It's almost 11:00 at night, my child is asleep and I should be too. Instead, I'm writing this blog and I honestly have no idea why. But if just ONE person reads it and can relate to it, then there is my reasoning for doing this. Some days I go to bed beating myself up…
I just LOVE this family. I have photographed two of these babies being born so it was such an honor to have them in front of my lens again. Brittney contacted me several weeks ago about doing an extended family session with her parents, 2 brothers, and their families. I have been looking forward to…
Y'all already know births and fresh 48's are my absolute favorite times to document. They are what fuel my fire! I get so anxious on the days leading up to "my" babies birth days. I love the uncertainty and the sense of not knowing what a birth or fresh 48 will bring. Alyssa got the…
Back in April, I got to photograph my very first NICU "Fresh 48". Sweet Easton was born WAY too early but he is such the little fighter! He spent weeks in the NICU and just before he graduated, I got to travel to Chapel Hill so he could have his very first photo session. Since…
To my little boy on his first birthday: Daylan, I can't begin to express how much happiness you have brought not only to my life, but to everyone that meets you. You are so full of joy and your little smile is contagious. My personal word for 2018 was JOY. When I chose that word, I…
Kristen contacted me not long after she found out she was pregnant. She hadn't even told her family yet! (I love keeping secrets!) She booked the Bump to Baby package which included a maternity session, birth, and a lifestyle newborn session. I am so glad she and her husband decided to have me along on…
ONE YEAR! It's been one whole year since Emmett made his appearance into this world and I still remember every little detail. It was only the second birth I've ever photographed but it's still the longest to date. I was there about 24 hours, actually. I arrived at the hospital on Saturday afternoon about 4:00.…
I have been looking forward to this birth ever since Amber emailed me several months ago. She chose the Bump to Baby package which includes a maternity session, birth, fresh 48 AND a newborn session. I am so glad she got the whole package and I know she's glad too! Amber got induced at midnight…
