The end of summer delivered to me the privilege of photographing the youngest member of one of my favorite families. Stacey is the final Anderson to make it to the end of a well-played high school career. Because he is the baby, the entire family came out to share in the moments being captured. Grandma, […]
Ms. Phyllis contacted me to schedule a session for her family, some of whom had never had professional portraits taken. She was so sweet, but I could tell she was nervous. Nervous about the whole idea of a photo session. Nervous that the little people might not cooperate. Nervous about what to wear. Just nervous. […]
“Now that was a party!” I overheard this sentiment, expressed by a young child as she and her parents left the reception and thought to myself, “She is so right!” I can say a lot of great things about LaPorsha and Jamayle’s wedding, but the first to come to mind would be that they sure […]

I met Julie during lunch breaks at an elementary school where we both worked at the time. I remember overhearing a conversation she was having with someone (yes, […]
For the second spotlight on families that have made the life-changing decision to grow their families through adoption, I want to highlight the inspiration for this blog series. I was first introduced to Julia when a “photogra-friend” tagged me in a post in a photography FB group. Julia was looking for someone in the Louisville/Southern […]
