If there is one thing I love about being a photographer, it's being able to take photos of people I care about and feeling as though I really captured their "essence" - that's what I love about these photos. They are so "Celia."

Celia is a good friend of mine who moved here from Texas a few years ago. We love comparing "did-you-ever-hear-of-this-before-you-moved-here" stories, talking military life, and reminiscing about our Southern Baptist upbringings. I think she is the true definition of what a classy woman should be. I <3 you, C!

Aside from getting some fun, colorful shots, we had a great time last night scouting locations, dodging bumble bees, and using our "America's Next Top Model" modeling jargon. :)

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing another beautiful family. 5-year old Gage was the perfect little model for me. He followed directions and added in his own fun ideas like a champ! Sweet baby Kellis did his part to sleep, coo, and inspire me with his big beautiful blue eyes. Thanks for any awesome day, N family!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of taking photos of two of the sweetest little girls on the planet, Abby & Emma. After only a minor thunderstorm set back, we ended up having a beautiful afternoon at the park. I look forward to taking photos of these cuties in the future and watching them grow!

I've been taking tons of pictures of Caleb lately. I seem to go through spurts, but lately, I just can't get enough of him. There is something so overwhelmingly blissful about being a mother. His smiling face and funny expressions completely melt my heart on a daily basis.
