Each year, I like to enter a photography contest called Shoot & Share. The Shoot & Share Photo Contest is the world’s only free & fair photo contest. You can enter up to 50 photos in 25 different categories. The Shoot & Share Photo Contest is unique because it’s all about the photos. It’s not about one […]

Sometimes, you put a lot of time and planning into your session, and then the kiddos just aren’t on board. It happens, and that’s totally ok! I will never rush our time together, and if the kids don’t come around, we reschedule, because at the end of the day, a little extra patience is ok […]

During a long weekend trip from Clarksville, TN to Hope Mills, NC, I had several family photo sessions lined up. It was just my fortune that I got to start my weekend with the beautiful K family at Mp Sporthorses Farm. This joyful family was full of sweet smiles, despite the early morning hours! Big […]

The sweet H kids were such a joy to have in front of my camera! They were so easy to work with, all smiles and giggles, a rare treat for any photographer. It was a joy getting to know them. Their Mama is going to have her hands full in the coming years! This year’s […]

As an older sister and photographer, I understand both sides of the track when Mom says she wants photos of the kids together! For the kids, it normally means eye rolls and stiff smiles, but I like to keep things as pain-free as possible, while giving Mom those memories to treasure! The sweet C boys […]

You are never too old for photos, especially family photos! As the kids grow, and everyone starts going in their own direction, family photos are what you will have to look back on. I was so excited to see this sweet family sign up for mini sessions. I don’t often get to work with older […]

During my travels from Clarksville, TN to the Fort Bragg, North Carolina area, I stopped in at my friend’s farm and had the pleasure of photographing the adorable Waterstradt family! Hope Mills, NC is nestled just outside the Bragg area, and we had such a peaceful backdrop shooting at the MP Sporthorses Farm. These guys […]

I served in the U.S. Army for nine years. And in those years, I photographer many homecomings for my Army unit, especially at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. The 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) is always deploying, sometimes full brigades, sometimes smaller units. And in all those homecomings, personally photographer or for the military, I always wanted […]

My background with horses is primarily focused on the English riding style, but I secretly have a love-affair with all things western. I think the western style is so romantic! So of course, when my sweet friend Amanda said she wanted western-styled family photos, to include her gorgeous horse Ziva, I was over the moon! […]

Typically, I love when you bring fur babies to your session, but as a rule, I don’t allow them for mini sessions because of the time constraint. But the sweet Pummill family was my exception to that rule after finding out their sweet Labrador wouldn’t be with them too much longer. As a mom to […]
