As I photographed Morgan and Collin with their precious miracle baby, it became clear that they were destined to be parents. Their love for each other and for Elaina radiated throughout the room, creating an atmosphere of warmth and joy that was contagious.

This is the fourth year I’ve offered my limited edition “Moments of Motherhood” sessions. I couldn’t have been more pleased with this year’s results.

There’s nothing quite like the joy of a new baby! Capturing these precious moments with a professional photographer was a must for loving parents Bethany and Clay.

One of the biggest stressors of having photos made is hoping that your kids act good. Am I right, or am I right? It doesn’t matter if you are hiring someone to do the photos or if you taking them yourself (and if you are, you are my kind of mama… but make sure you […]
