As this pregnancy is rapidly coming to an end, we feel so overwhelmed – with love, with joy, with nerves even if we’re being honest. I realized that there were so many little things I wanted to remember as long as I could and one thing that mattered was the nursery that Ryan and our […]

Wow. Two years already?! How is that possible? It seems like just yesterday I stood in our apartment and cried on the phone to my mom, feeling like I didn’t know how to make the right choice for my future before finally deciding to pump the brakes on graduate school and give myself time to […]

I’m not going to lie – the idea of taking maternity leave, time OFF, from my business is terrifying. I’ve build up my amazing clients, I’ve built up projects and systems and it worries me that in 6-8 weeks, I could lose some of that. On the flip side, it SCARES me that I would […]

I can’t believe that the fall colors are starting to fade and the winter is coming! I’m so happy that I’ve been able to fit a few family sessions into my schedule before baby boy comes too, including this sweet family! I had a blast meeting Jennifer and Chris and the rest of their gang! […]

Autumn… what a time of year. The leaves are falling, the air is crisp (okay, freezing – let’s be totally honest here), and the colors are just stunning!

Booking maternity portraits was so important to me for a variety of reasons (read about that here!), but picking a photographer turned out to be harder than I thought! I was so happy when we found Lundy Photography to take our portraits while we had a brief trip to the Outer Banks this fall. The […]

One of the comments I hear a lot from older clients, family and friends is that “maternity portraits weren’t a thing when I was pregnant!” and many of them don’t quite understand the concept. For some women, pregnancy looks glamorous – I don’t feel like I’m one of those! – and for others, it’s a […]

Every time I get to see Megan and Aaron, I can’t help but laugh until I cry. These two display exactly what a good relationship should have in it: laughter, support, good listeners, feeling taken care of and being happy together. I am so happy they were able to be a part of this project […]

Although I’m generally a paper + pen kinda girl – both for my business and in my personal life – becoming a business owner meant finding the most efficient method possible to keep track of important items like receipts, bills, mileage and also to complete my work, especially when it comes to social media. Over the […]
