The newest little Johnson has entered the chat! And what a sweet, handsome guy he is! Wyatt Logan made his appearance in late July and as a momma of three summer babies, I can confidently say that nobody is happier to meet him than his momma. Speaking of his momma, Ashleigh has held onto her glow and I'd really like to know how. I know those newborn days seem to last forever, but these new parents make it look easy. Wyatt's big, blue eyes graced my camera for most of the sess

There are many full-circle moments I have been honored to have experienced over the course of my career. I've seen children grow into adults, couples turn into families, the same people in different stages of life, celebration, grief, and literal answered prayers all through my viewfinder. As I'm sitting here reflecting, I'm beginning to wonder if this may be a first in TALPhotography history: two of my previous seniors are now my engagement clients! Why exactly does that mak

How crazy is it that I have a picture of the very first day I ever met Monse? Mask and all... On that fateful day in 2020, I gained another sister. Little did I know that cute trick-or-treater would force me to sit through millions of dance routines, send me countless "this or that dress" texts, and steal all of the grapes out of my fridge. Monse is more than my sisters' friend, she's a part of the family. My kids consider her their aunt. In fact, she is Landon's strongest au

Not even the arthritis in my knuckles before the rain makes me feel as old as this post does. I have known this girl since literally the day she was born. I was there for her first steps. This girl used to make me watch Yo Gabba Gabba! and Tangled on repeat. This girl was my flower girl. This girl is my little sister, and somehow, this girl is a senior. I was volunteering in her kindergarten class my senior year and now she’s coming to my kid’s kindergarten graduation. Time i

Little man is already half a year old! How?! This sweet nugget came into the world between blizzards, but this session came at the perfect time for him to enjoy a sweet summer breeze. I can't decide which is more delicious: that watermelon or those incredible blue eyes! I loved getting to see Wyatt's personality in these images. He certainly knows what he wants and it made the session so much fun! I can't wait to see how he continues to grow and steal the show!

Allow me to introduce you to the Riley family! Although to me, these images are filled with familiar faces. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing this bunch for decades and getting to watch them expand into the family they are today is so special. Breanne and I have shared many an adventure, and I first met her brothers at a backyard pool party many moons ago. From sleepovers to basketball games, movie theaters, and amusement parks- there is no shortage of memories. Now here they

One thing I love about photography as an art is how it evolves with you. Lately, I've discovered that instead of trying to fit each image into a certain style, it's a lot more fun to edit images to how they felt in the moment. I want to shoot and edit true to life, true to color, and true to emotion. My job is to capture the magic of the moment without distorting the memory that's already there. Especially for weddings, I want to be true to the day. This day was overcast. Thi

I had the sweetest little visitor this week. Mr. Theodor has made his appearance and he has already proven true to his name. Just like a real teddy bear, this little boy takes his cuddles very seriously. He was perfect and content in his sweet swaddles, but nothing made him happier than snuggling up to his mommy. I loved getting to highlight his little features. From his dark locks to the little milk dots on his nose, these are the best parts of having a newborn. There's noth

As if this season hasn’t been wonderful enough, here come Lauren and Emory with this dream of an engagement session. This beautiful couple met me at Lanier Mansion to stroll along the grounds and snuggle up for some sweet portraits. I loved seeing the way these two lit up in front of the camera. Every single giggle was a reflection of their relationship. Lauren, just as gentle as she is beautiful, absolutely shines with Emory. He’s so stable and supportive. Although they clai

That's right! Somehow it has already been two years since we first met Miss Goldie. The world is brighter, bigger, and all around a lot more fun since she's been in it. This little ham loves to show off for the camera, but she also loves to remind us that she runs the show. She keeps us in a good balance between work and play, but the best shots are when the two overlap. Featuring her sweet family, this session highlighted Goldie entering her next era with a bang.
