October 8, 2014 Andy + Family!

Meet Andy, the adorable ONE YEAR OLD baby boy. I met Andy's mommy at her best friend Taylor's wedding earlier this year where she was a bridesmaid! Needless to say, I was super excited when she booked me to photograph her son's birthday session! Kevin, Caroline and Andy are the cutest family ever and I had a blast with them! Andy was so sweet and cooperative, I couldn't have asked for anything better. Easily my smoothest one-year-old session of all...

I still feel honored that Chris thought...

August 5, 2014 Baby Cruz! | Corolla, NC Family Session

Every year we vacation for a week in July with my husband Steve's family. This lovely family of now four is a part of our motley crew.

This year we're no longer calling that baby "Blueberry" because now he's on the outside, 7 months old and living life as Baby Cruz! I'm so excited to share this year's session and Baby Cruz's debut!...

August 4, 2014 Week/end Recap!

Happy Monday! Last week I took the week off from blogging and (most) work to go on vacation! Steve and I go each year to Corolla, NC (the Outer Banks) with his family some time in July. I've traveled to many amazing places in this world, and I've been spoiled with the clearest waters and some of the most beautiful beaches you'll ever see (Panama, Maui, San Diego, Fort Lauderdale, The Galápagos Islands, Punta Cana, Mexico, The Bahamas, etc.) and yet...
