I would love to introduce to you this all-American, sweeter-than-pie little boy! I had the honor of photographing his parents’ wedding last summer, and he is just the perfect little bundle to start their family. I imagine he already has a heart of gold like his mama and dad, and just wait until you see the great big grin he gave us when his daddy is held him. (Also, note the pride in his daddy’s smile!) Grady, you are precious, welcome to this world!
Meet Maryn! Effortlessly beautiful, she rocked her session through the heat with her long, wavy hair down the entire time. She kept things simple but timeless, and that is just one thing I love about her. We had fun snapping shots of her surrounded with buttery sunlight, wildflowers, and even a few guest horses who popped in the background for a few photos. Maryn, I hope you have a great senior year – enjoy!
Here’s senior Dominic! He is such a kind and humble young man. After his sport shots, we travelled out to the old Army airbase where we dodged mosquitos and what we thought was poison ivy but thankfully was not. We found that someone had written “Tom” in mud on all wall our there, so I digitally recreated it to say, “Dom.” Hah! In other news, we discussed our favorite Pop-Tart flavors, agreeing that there really is not a bad one, except maybe watermelon. Enjoy your upcoming senior year, Dominic, it will be great!
Our third little nugget is three! Rhett is kind of like the comic relief to life. He is always saying funny little things that keeps things light around here, and he comes in at just the right time with a big ol’ hug around my neck and an “I missed you” which actually means “I love you.” He LOVES to play with toys, look at toys, think about toys, talk about toys, shop for toys. His favorites are the ones he can drive or dig around in the dirt or sand. It is so fun to listen to is expanding vocabulary, and I cannot wait to see what he thinks of Preschool. I am guessing his favorite will be the toys there. Happy third birthday, sweet boy, we love you very much!

Meet senior Elijah! This young man has been through quite a journey in the past year. A very shocking but early cancer diagnosis changed the course of his life last fall. His mom was quick to think to have us take these photos last winter, right before starting his treatments. Thankfully, he is now on the road to recovery and remission. But, I want you to know there is so much more to this young man that just that piece of his story. He is very bright, interested in history, and enjoys music and video games. I am so proud of him for all he has overcome in this past year, showing his true strength. Here is to looking forward to a much brighter senior, Elijah!
