I am a wife and mama to two little miracles from Morgantown, West Virginia. I've had a passion for photography my entire life, but when I had my daughter three years ago, I felt a deep urge to capture her every move. Her tiny baby feet and hands were changing every day, and I wanted a way that I could hold on to those memories forever. Photography is a gift that I provide my family with. I want my children to have authentic documentation of their childhood. I, wholeheartedly, believe that photography is an heirloom.
I am living my dream by getting to know other families and telling their story through a series of photographs. I love to learn about, and document, what you love about your family. Babies change fast. The beautiful chaos of life is something you'll want to remember the rest of your life. Helping other families provide an heirloom for their children is my life's mission.
The Beauty of Documentary at a Wedding
I’ve been sitting on the idea for this post for over a month because I wasn’t sure how to properly go about writing it. I’m not a wedding photographer, so I felt that anything I have to say about the matter would seem insufficient. I don’t want to be a “wedding photographer” either. I’m not…

Birthday At The Park
I’ve been photographing this family since their oldest turned 1. Since that day, two years ago, we’ve documented countless moments together from a trip to the zoo to their dad’s deployment homecoming. They’re a family that truly understands the value of documenting everyday moments…even the ones that end in crying. I’ve loved the stories we’ve…

The DeMents
I’ve known Christina and Rob nearly my entire life, and with extracurricular activities and church they were each a pretty big part of my childhood, so when they asked me to photograph their wedding, I just couldn’t say no. I don’t photograph a wedding for just anyone, ya know? On Saturday, October 5th, after over…

Jack
Jack’s parents have been waiting anxiously for his arrival for the past week. We checked in with each other a few times while we waited and I could tell his mom was just ready to see his sweet face. She was overdue, probably uncomfortable, and excited to hold him in her arms. After a quick…

When I Wake Up
Lindsey and I became friends about four years ago when her daughter, who was almost one at the time, accidentally requested to be my facebook friend. We decided to remain friends on social media since we both had similar interests and our daughters were so close in age. We were both starting to build our…

Love On The River
Rachel and PJ are my dream couple. I’m not a typical wedding and engagement photographer. Because of this, I don’t shoot many wedding or engagement sessions, but Rachel and PJ are different. They’re hosting their wedding and reception in their backyard in 2 weeks, their guests are going to be camping out with them, and…

They Came As Three
The birth of a child is always a life changing experience. There is always a reason why they’re here. This family shared the reason for Wyatt’s presence with me and I knew other people would want to hear it too. This is his story: I wasn’t someone who saw myself with a house full of…

Bringing Home Baby
I was talking to a cousin of mine yesterday, who is due to bring her own sweet baby home soon, about how quickly life changes the minute your first baby is born. You go from living a life where you’re really only responsible for yourself to being responsible for keeping a tiny human alive in…

The Last First
There are 14 years between Sally’s first and her last and it’s been almost as long since she experienced sending her first baby to kindergarten. Each of those experiences hold their own emotions and memories, but in some ways I feel that they’re the same. I drove to this house this morning as the sun…
