I can’t get over how adorable this little girl is!  I mean, seriously??!!  Look at those big brown eyes & perfectly curled lashes!

Jennifer is one of my dearest friends.  We’ve been involved in each others lives since elementary school & have remained close for over 25 years.  We’ve been through so much together … from playing dolls to crushing on boys to taking college classes together, to being her maid of honor, to celebrating the birth of her 4 beautiful children!  She told me she wanted to celebrate their 10th anniversary with a photo shoot & I couldn’t have been more excited to start planning this session!

I’ve known Chris & Anna for several years now and was beyond excited when they told me they were expecting and wanted to schedule a newborn session. They told me that they wanted to be surprised so they wouldn’t be finding out the gender until “baby Fry’s” arrival. Little miss Lola Grace decided to make an appearance  just 4 days after Mommy & Daddy’s maternity session!

One of the things I love about my job is the opportunity to meet amazing photographers.  I was lucky enough to have met Lisa of {LMarie Photography} four years ago.  She has become such a dear friend & mentor.  She is one of the kindest, most compassionate, loving, & generous people I know.

Hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July with your loved ones!

This is my Papa.  And he’s gone.  My phone rang last night at 9:30pm & it was my Mom.  It’s rare for my Mom to call much past 8:00pm, so I knew it must be something important.  My 8 month old nephew was going into surgery this morning so I assumed that must be what the call was regarding.  “Papa just passed.”  I was in shock.  It was sudden.  It was unexpected.  We are told it was painless.  If only the loss, grief & mourning could be the same.

Baby Warren made us a little nervous at his doctor’s appointment last week when Mommy & Daddy were told that he may actually be making his appearance sooner than expected.  Xenia contacted me right away to see if there was any way we could “bump” up her maternity session.
