I have known Andrea since college and have always thought the world of her.  I love that we have so much in common… especially that we both married our high school sweet hearts!  I have always wanted to get Andrea & Tim in front of my camera, and when they had their two beautiful girls […]

It’s always fun to photograph someone that I know, but even more fun to photograph someone that I’m related to.  A few weeks ago when I was in North Carolina I had the pleasure of photographing my little cousin for her senior portraits.  Taylor I can’t believe you’re old enough to be graduating high school… […]

2010… wow, what a year this has been!!!  I have grown and learned and expanded and it’s all been fabulous.  But none of this year would have been possible without my amazing clients!!  I know you guys can use whomever you want to capture your family memories, but you didn’t… you choose to use me.  […]
