Newborn photography is my absolute favorite genre. I love being one of the first people to snuggle baby, providing a cozy, inviting place for parents to rest, and creating stunning images that will be adored for a lifetime. You may not realize it, but a LOT of planning, preparation, education, and training has gone into […]

I absolutely love this time of year. The temperature begins to dip, football season has begun, and all of sudden pumpkin is in everything. It’s also the best time of year for family portraits! You may be overwhelmed with options and trying to style a whole family can be difficult, so I’ve compiled a few […]

Congratulations, you’re about to have a baby! You’re probably Googling at all hours of the day: looking for the best car seat, the fastest route to the hospital, researching where your pediatrician went to med school juuuust to make sure it’s legit. I beg of you: give the same amount of care to choosing a […]

The hushed excitement pulsing through the recovery room. Three (yes, THREE!) big sisters, eagerly waiting to meet the newest baby girl. The sweet swell of mama’s freshly postpartum belly, cradling a newborn that’s been earthside for just a few hours. Fresh 48 sessions are magical. Documentary and unposed, taking place in the hospital within 48 […]

Congratulations, you’re about to have a baby! Prepare to be bombarded with unsolicited advice, sleepless nights, and more stuff than you know what to do with. Why do the smallest humans seem to take up the most space?! I’ve now raised two babies to toddlerhood (how did that happen so fast?!), so here’s a quick […]

Have you ever met someone whose story instantly inspires you? That’s how I felt when I first met Candi. She’s a Tennessean, an F-18 pilot for the US Navy, best friends with her mama, former pageant girl, and just an all-around awesome person. If there was ever a contest for the person with the most […]

Ahh, that sweet newborn phase. You can feel it the moment you walk through the front door: a beautiful, pristine nursery, a careful silence in the air, and utterly exhausted and yet over-the-moon joyful parents. That’s exactly what I found when I visited Katie and Kyle. I had the pleasure of photographing their maternity portraits […]

Your little girl is your princess. Now, let’s photograph her as one. Introducing the AWP royal wardrobe: an ever-growing collection of beautiful dresses, crowns, and props fit for a princess. We’ll treat her highness to a pampering session, styling her in the gown and crown of her choice for a portrait session all about her. […]

This session was so special. Shandi and I worked together a few years ago and when I found out she was expecting her second baby, I knew I just had to photograph her! Shandi and her husband, Ian, have gone through so much for their babies, and their love and gratitude for their children just […]

A racing tire has got to be the most unusual thing yet that has rolled into my studio. Beth texted me the night before Lilly’s newborn session and warned me that she was bringing a racing tire as a surprise prop for Lilly’s dad, but I was still unprepared for how huge this thing would […]
