Christian and Trey are the sweetest! I had the chance to meet them the night before our session at a wedding I was photographing and they were attending. We had a blast! I hope you enjoy their session! :)
Read moreA Precious Session with Lela - Memphis Family Photography
The last time I took pictures of Lela, sweet baby had just arrived. She could barely open her eyes. Almost a year later, she was bursting with personality. It's crazy how time flies. Check out this adorable 1 year session I did recently with Lela and her parents in Downtown Collierville! Try to not smile!
Read moreFinley's magical journey into the world
The day has finally come for this blog post. This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever done. Amber and I have been best friends since high school. We even managed to be college roommates and still remain BFs. We've been by each other's side through all the boy/job/life troubles and also through all the boy/job/life celebrations.
When Amber told me that her and John were trying to get pregnant, I told her I was there for her whenever/however she wanted. My heart practically burst when she told me she wanted me to be there from the very first moment of telling John, to the day Finley was born... And all the amazing moments in between.
I couldn't be more proud to show off to the world... Finley Claire, my perfect Goddaughter. I pray you enjoy Finley's journey into her mommy and daddy's arms as much as I enjoyed being on the frontline to capture this incredible moment on one of the strongest and most miraculous days of my best friend's life.

Read moreA 17Berkshire-Inspired Styled Bridal Shower Brunch
So in case you weren't aware, Nuha with 17Berkshire is quickly becoming one of my favorite people in the world. What I love about her treats is the fact that you get designer treats that taste homemade. I didn't even like macarons (which is the correct spelling for the dainty little treats she makes - I looked it up) until I had one of her macarons. I had the amazing opportunity to work with her again this past weekend for a 17Berkshire-Inspired Styled Bridal Shower Brunch (yes, I know that's a mouthful). Nuha made Strawberry Cheesecake Chocolate Pyramids, a Caramel Drip Cake, Meringue Kisses, Croquembouche (the cream puff tower), Eclairs, and Raspberry Macarons. My favorite part was eating it all after though. :D Check it out below! Also... Please take note that I have a new number one rule for my life - Gold leaf must be sprinkled on everything.. Always. Please and thank you.
Read moreA Woodland Themed Baby Shower
Ok - So I know I go a bit overboard sometimes with baby showers. I'm not sure I know how to just have a little shower. Plus, it's a blast for me to plan all the details. My best friend, Amber is due in a few weeks. Ryan and I threw her and her hubby, John, a couple's baby shower. I didn't get a picture of the invitation, but I put a screenshot of the PDF for you to see. It was a woodland themed baby shower... Hence the 'chicken salad tree stumps', 'chocolate MOOSE', and 'Snow White and the 7 layer cheese dip'. Oh, and don't forget the 'Happy Trails' Mix party favors. As sad as I am that the shower is over and I can't throw another until the spring for my baby brother, I am so pumped that we are now in 'waiting' mode for Finley. Words can't express how much this family means to me. I can't WAIT to meet little A'corn. One thing is for sure, she has many warm hugs ahead of her. So here it is... And make sure you check out the AMAZING cake and treat towers from 17Berkshire! She is FANTASTIC!
Read moreWaiting For Baby - A Memphis Maternity Session
Recently, I got to take their maternity pictures. I'm pretty obsessed with them. We went Downtown and drove around to a few locations. This weekend, Ryan and I get to throw John and Amber's couple's shower. So I'm pretty pumped about that. I started planning the day she told me she was pregnant.
I can't WAIT for this time next month. If sweet baby isn't here, Amber and I will be downing spicy food and playing Dance Dance Revolution until baby C decides to make her arrival. Till then, enjoy these sweet baby bump pictures... Isn't Amber the most adorable preggo??
Read moreBlue Suede Shoes - A Memphis Inspired Wedding
I had the amazing opportunity to work with some world class Memphis vendors on this incredible styled shoot this past weekend. They took this theme and truly brought it to life. The overall goal wasn't to make it 'in-your-face-Memphis', but rather... If Elvis Presley were sitting at the table, what would he want in front of him. I think it worked out perfectly. From our beautiful model's blue suede shoes to the gold detail in the tablescape. From the luscious flowers on the modern acryllic table, to the gold dusted blueberries and macaroons. From the gorgeous Paloma Blanca gown on our wavy-haired and peachy-toned model, to the stunning invitation suite... I am so overwhelmed with the greatness involved in this session, and I feel so truly honored to have had to opportunity to work with such amazing people.

Read moreGrayton Beach Senior Pictures - Caleb
My hubby's aunt asked me to come take pictures of Caleb while we were at the beach. I was more than happy to accommodate this request. You see... Caleb has NO clue that he could model professionally if he wanted. But the fact that he is unaware that he could model makes him even more adorable. I love this kiddo; and I can't believe how quickly he's growing up.
Check out some of my favorites from our session!
