:) everyone is home… (Houston, TX, Family Photographer)

Back in June I posted a blog about my good friend Meagan and Matt and their twins that had just arrived.  Ryan was able to come home with Meagan but little Quinn had quite the stint in the nicu, but she finally made her homecoming in late July.  So we were able to then take their “newborn” photos.  All I have to say is that these two have quite the personalities (and each one is completely different than the other) and they are absolutely adorable and I fall so much more in love with them every time I get to see them.  Over the next few weeks I’ll post separate blogs on Ryan and Quinn so stay tuned.

The morning I headed over to do the shoot was such a good morning, Quinn wasn’t really fond of the camera but Ryan seems to not mind a bit, mom and dad were great in front of the camera too!!!  Because we didn’t get to do the session during the first week of their lives we weren’t able to get the sleepy baby photos, but I think we were able to capture their personalities b/c of their age and I LOVE IT!!!  Matt and Meagan, thank you so much for letting me be part of your lives and Ryan and Quinn’s lives, I love all four of you so much and am so thankful that God placed you in my life.  Thank you for letting me be the one to capture this special time in your lives, it means a lot to me.  I can’t wait to see these two grow up.  Here’s a few shots from the session…

When someone says “we’re really drawn to candid wedding photos,” I know exactly what they mean, but I also know it means something different to every couple. And honestly? That’s part of what I love about it. Because candid doesn’t mean chaotic, and it definitely doesn’t mean careless.  Candid means intentional presence. It means pausing […]

I took a trip to Knoxville, TN to document Sarah & Andy’s engagement session.  They wanted to do their session where they will be getting married in 2026 and it was the best decision ever!  Not only did I get to meet and hang out with Sarah & Andy, but I also was able to […]

Greenville, you’ve been a beautiful backdrop—but lately, I’ve fallen hard for something else: private estate weddings. If you’re dreaming of tying the knot somewhere that’s more your world than a checklist, a family home‑turned‑wedding‑day‑stage is where the real magic happens. Why private estates feel so right Authentic comfort from beginning to end It’s your space. […]
