The second port we visited on our cruise this summer was Nassau, Bahamas! This island is the home of the world-famous Atlantis resort (which we saw from our bus trip!). We were only in the Bahamas for a day – not even a full one – so we opted to take a bus tour through […]

I LOVE BABIES!!! There, I said it! I’m pretty sure if you know anything about me, you know that I love babies but what I love more is getting to photograph babies – their tiny feet, their cute little eyes that can’t focus on anything yet, the way their moms look at them like they’re […]

Ah, Monday. You’re back. I guess I hoped that somehow we might get an extra day in the weekend this time, but alas – I was wrong. 🙁 The weekends really go by so fast (or is that just me?!). I usually use these Dowler Days posts to talk about what we did over the […]

Kristin! I just LOVE you. I am so lucky that you have been a part of this project – I have absolutely loved getting to know you (so far – and I can’t wait to keep getting to know you!). Seeing you pregnant and now getting to meet your sweet little boy has been such […]

This July, Ryan and I took our first cruise on Royal Caribbean with my parents (Joan + David) and his parents (Sandy + Herb). It was a fantastic trip – we got to stop in Bermuda, the Bahamas and their island Cococay over 9 days. Getting to travel with our parents definitely made this a […]

What a weekend! August is turning out to be a very busy month for us Dowlers – but I wouldn’t dare complain because we simply LOVE everyone we are getting to see! This weekend I got to meet the sweetest baby boy for a newborn session before heading down to Madison NC to see Ryan’s cousin […]

Monday is back + August has arrived! I can’t believe it! Monday being here also means it’s back to real life for us here in the Dowler household. We spent the last 9 days cruising along the East Coast and visiting Bermuda, Bahamas and Royal Caribbean’s island, Cococay with both sets of our parents. What […]

To me, photographs are a way to capture a moment in someone’s life and history so they can remember that time in their life forever. It’s a wonderful way to help parents remember how small their babes once were, how it felt to be celebrating your first, second or last pregnancy together, how your family […]

 Megan and Aaron are probably one of my all-time favorite couples to photograph! Last fall, before they got engaged, we did one of my favorite fall sessions to date. I love to photograph them because they are full of laughter and it makes everything so much easier! Aaron keeps Megan in stitches, mostly because she’s trying […]

Awhile back, I introduced two of our sweet fur babies here on the blog: TOC and Grey Cat. If you follow me on social media, you know that we have one other bigger fur baby too, Shelby! She’s such a sweetheart and I’m so excited to finally share the last piece of our little family […]
