Graduation is here again! Yesterday, we celebrated my oldest baby graduating kindergarten. Funny enough, I can remember sitting in the very same room 26 years ago wearing my hand-print shirt. It felt like 20 lifetimes between my kindergarten graduation and the time I said my final goodbyes to Austin High School. Now, as a mom, I can understand that it truly is just the blink of an eye. One day we're in an oversized cap and gown singing our ABCs and the next day, we're in anot

I’ve always told my husband that parties are my love language. I adore organizing, pinning, planning, and scrutinizing every detail. I absolutely love arriving to a wedding day and seeing all of the couple's plans fall into place. Some weddings are grand productions with hundreds of guests, and I cannot lie, I absolutely love them. This is exactly why I was so stunned by how much I enjoyed Alyssa and Zayne’s much more intimate celebration. With four kids in tow, they traveled

The quick hour I spent with Camryn allowed me to capture the most personal and special shots that highlight her calm and gentle spirit.

Although I think anything could've done it better than her momma and sister behind the c

As I was editing this session, I told my husband that I’ve been patching out Chris’s sunglasses tan lines for nine years now. They truly are my original models. The O’Neals were my very first wedding as an actual business and I’ve had the absolute pleasure of watching their incredible love story unfold. I feel a special connection to their journey. High school sweethearts, married young, lots of prayers answered when their first baby boy entered the world, and now here they a

You know what’s crazy? I live and have lived 30 minutes from Churchill Downs my entire life. People fly in from all over the country to get dressed up and watch the Kentucky Derby. Here I am within reach and I can remember watching it on TV two times in my life. Once just because it was on in a restaurant. You see, if you travel just a little ways north, you will find that around here, it’s not Derby season. It’s prom season. I get a front row seat each year to the fashion an
