Welcome to my Blog!

I am a photographer specializing in photo journalistic natural light photography. I truly fall in love with my subjects, whether it be the soft breathing of a newborn, the mischievous smile of a toddler, or the way a new bride and groom hold each other like it's the most natural thing in the world. I find myself seeing the beauty in every person I photograph, I believe it's my job to find what truly makes them sparkle and capture that. I am passionate about photography and I hope to share my passion with you.

The famous Caleb

Oftentimes when someone views my website they comment on a photo or photo's that stood out to them that they really loved. Well the photo that I get the most comments on by far is the photo of Samantha's beautiful pregnant belly holding blocks that say "Caleb". If this is your first time to drop by just head over to my homepage slideshow on my website and you'll see it. :) Well, little Caleb went from a little peanut in his mommies tummy to an ADORABLE little boy who is crawling around and spreading cuteness wherever he goes. I saw him last right after he was born when we had his newborn photo session, he has grown and changed so much since then it just blows my mind. I am always amazed at how much a baby changes in that first year, it's truly a miracle. Well here are a few of Caleb's pics, I hope you can handle a truckload of cuteness!!

Cute little bug

This is the first time I have photographed this adorable little bug and I'm so happy I was able to hang out with her and her beautiful mom. She has one of the best smiles I have ever seen, her whole face just lights up and it's contagious, when she would smile I would catch myself smiling and laughing. It was a little cold outside but she was such a little trooper and mom had all sorts of cute outfits and stuff, look at that pettiskirt! So dang cute!!

Lillie is 1!!!!

I shot perfect little Lillie when she was newborn, then 3 months, then 6 months, then 9 months and now her first birthday party. I was so happy to be there, it's been so wonderful watching Lillie grow over the last year. She is such a ham, so cute and smart. Her mom should be a party planner, seriously she is so talented. Lillie was born on Halloween (such a cool birthday!) and so the party was a Halloween them. Rae (Lillie's mom) thought of everything, there were napkins with her name on them, a bouncy castle, loads of good food and drinks, a margarita machine (for the adults :), even m&m's with Lillie's picture on them! I did not know there was such a thing, they were so cool. :) Here are some pics from the party, if you weren't there you should probably be a little bit jealous because it was definitely the place to be. :)

Happy Baby

This handsome little guy is such a happy sweet baby. He's always full of smiles and he's growing like a weed. He's such a cutie pie and I just love his parents, they are super sweet and cool. I love the "fall" feel of these pics, he probably thought I was a little nuts dragging him outside and sticking him and baskets and stuff but he was a good sport. I can't get enough of his big brown eyes and big smiles :)


*Peace Out!*

I love these boys :)

They are so cute, each with their own distinct personalities. The littlest one has grown so much since I last saw him, it was crazy to see him running around the yard when last time I saw him he was just getting crawling down. These three are such handsome boys, and mom is so laid back I always have fun at their house :) Although we are 2/2 on rain now so hopefully next time it will be dry and sunny!

Sweet Sweet Baby

This little doll face is just so kissable and sweet, it was so fun shooting her. I was ready to take her home with me, but I don't think mom would have been too keen on that. :) She's a fantastic mom and it's so obvious that she's nuts about this little precious one. I have a feeling everyone who meets this little one is going to be nuts about her too, I know I was, you just can't help it! And look at that red hair! *Love*

Family Fun

I've shot these two handsome guys twice before, but this was the first time to get mom and dad in front of the camera and how fun! The boys were running all over the place being boys, they are so adorable. :) And mom has great style, the whole fam just looked fantastic (I know that mom is always in charge of these sorts of things and this mom knows what she's doing. :)
I love how the boys are SO being themselves here, Chase with his head thrown back laughing and Hamp with his tongue out, just so dang cute. Dad's a strong one!

Back home... for a day.

I'm back from my week in Georgia and it was wonderful. It was definitely a lot of work but I just LOVE my Georgia clients so they make it worth it. :) It's amazing to see how much some of my kiddo's there have grown in just a few months, it blows me away. I am going to work furiously on getting as many sneak peeks up as I can before I head to Lubbock tomorrow for the Tech/UT game, if I don't get to yours I will get it up as soon as I get back. Everyone be sure to watch the game this Saturday!!Wreck em Tech!

Is there a doctor in the house???

I have a sickness, it's one that I am familiar with because I have been stricken with this same ailment before, but I thought by some miracle I was cured. It has been months since my last outbreak and I thought finally I was free, but then Nolan showed up. The little sweet kissable peanut came over for his very first photo session and BAM, once again I am infected...... I have Baby Fever. Baby Fever is a serious epidemic affecting millions of Americans, the only known cure is to stay away from babies, or to have a baby, and since I am definitely not prepared to do either of those things I have decided to find a way to live with Baby Fever. Hanging out with this cutie pie was well worth it though. :)

His dad got a tattoo with his birth date, initials, and angel wings. LOVE it!!! Tiny little baby :)
