Today all started with a GoFundMe page. I had anxiously been following a little girl named, Adalynn who had been fighting for her life in a hospital in Tennessee. She opened my eyes today. She’s the reason I lived today. 3 AM. I hear a faint cry, not from my 6-month-old, but from my three-year-old. […]

She said it was like any other day. Only this day was most definitely not. A familiar truck drove up to her tiny coffee stand as she approached the end of her morning barista shift. It was him. The man she served coffee to for the first time nearly three years before. Eric. She smiled […]

It has taken me a year and a half to write this. Not writing it made it almost seem like it didn’t happen. My mama didn’t die. I thought if I don’t write about it, I could just pretend she’s traveling and that she’ll be back at the end of the month. If I write […]

Miss “N” was seven days new the day I met her. Her little eyes took in every little detail of the new world around her. Quiet as a mouse I never heard her cry, but by the time I left her home I felt like I had gained new friends and my heart was full […]

Well–what a year!!! I love this post every year. I have gone through hundreds (let’s be honest…thousands) of photographs I’ve taken this year to pick the best images of 2017! I’ve tried to take one image from every shoot, but if I have somehow missed your shoot, please forgive me! From shooting a wedding with […]

Riley and I have shared an amazing journey for the past year. We both became mothers a few months apart and we have cried together, laughed together, and ached to be with our babies together. You see, we both are teachers by day, working side by side among the crayon-scattered classrooms, often time sharing anything […]

When she took the microphone, she looked at him with pure adoration. With the microphone in her hands, she thanked her new husband’s parents for raising such an amazing man that she had wed just hours before. She then looked back to her husband and explained in front of 300 guests how much she loved […]

THIS family. They are kind. Giving. Courageous and adventurous. It’s safe to say, if I had to be abandoned on a deserted island with another couple…it would totally be these guys!! And their sweet little Elliette…don’t even get me started… It was about this time last year where Tia and Bo invited me into their […]
