I am so happy I finally got a chance to take pictures of some our best friends. Having known them since teenagers and then Jacob officiated their wedding and now they have little Alivia. It had just started to sprinkle on the way over but stopped long enough for us to snap some pictures. Alivia had just woken up from a nap and after a long few days with family, she was not in the mood to smile. But with Jacob's help, and some gummies, and Micah's silly laugh, we were able to get just a few smiles out of her. Thanks again guys for asking me!

It was fun shooting this family because Jacob was in Southwest School of Bible Studies with Justin (I was in the wives class with Christine) 12 years ago! (2011) I remember the boys being tiny. The kids are growing so fast! We managed to shoot lots of variation shots and even got some with their dogs, per their request. Thanks for asking me, guys! I enjoyed it

I was a little nervous to take some group family photos of 16 people, but it went great! I brought Jacob along as my assistant, and this family had down all their variation shots they wanted and thankfully it all went smoothly. Here’s just a few of my favorites. Their kiddos did great too-little Natalie was adorable!

Took two Christmas mini sessions this weekend…can’t wait to edit and see how they turn out! Sharing sneak peaks soon.🎄Get with me if you’re in the area and you’re interested!

Also took a large family photo shoot (of generations) this week- my largest shoot yet- and those sneak peaks will be coming soon too.

Book a fall family photo session with me while the weather is perfect and the colors are pretty from all the rain! I have a few locations in mind that would work great. We’ll take all the time we need, unlimited downloads of all the edits I take. No booking fee. Message me for more info!

Also- I’m doing Christmas minis this year for the next few weeks!!🌲🌲 $75 for a 30 min session (depending on cooperation of kiddos). Example below is from a good photographer friend Madeline Eledge who was so kind to snap some for us last year.

If you’re near the area and would like some Christmas pictures to have or for Christmas cards I have the perfect spot next to some Christmas trees and a cute little bridge. Time would start about an hour and a half before sunset for best lighting. Message me if you’re interested and pass along the word.

It was a little overcast but we squeezed in a photoshoot before it rained for the next 3 days straight! Brayden wasn’t feeling most of the photos- but we managed to get a few cute ones! It’s fun taking photos for families but it’s even more fun when it’s for your close friends! These boys are getting too big. 😄 Cutest blonde hair and red hair brothers I’ve ever seen. ☺️

Had a fun time shooting some bluebonnet photos for Jon, Meghan, and Claire! Claire was a little hesitant of me at first, and the flowers at times, but we got a few smiles out of her! And I became her friend at the end, when I offered her some gummies for doing good. Here’s a few of my favorites. Thank y’all for asking me! Hope y’all enjoy them. 😄

Here our some of my faves from my recent photo shoot with this fun family! They made it so easy which made editing time even quicker which was a plus as I was in a time crunch to finish sooner than usual. I LOVE how these turned out! Thank you Melissa for asking me to take them! I had a lot of fun and I hope you can always cherish these. ❤️

Because she’s my daughter I have too many favorites… and then of course some black and white. We didn’t get to do everything I had planned because of weather and time, but I love these so much anyway. Can’t believe she made me a mom 10 years ago now! We had fun with this photoshoot and we plan to continue this tradition with more milestone birthdays. 💗

Message me up if anyone else would like some fall photos done! As long as you’re in driving distance- we can make it work! No limit on outfits or photos received. Reasonably priced sessions. Looking forward to the couple I have for next month!
