This sweet family decided to take on the rain. We were shooting the photos with the pond in the background while the sprinkles fell steadily on us! And it was so fun! Once the rain stopped, we were all so happy. (Not just because we would have cut the session short –but because we would have missed the most beautiful after-storm sky! It was gorgeous! And sweet {A} was such angel. Through getting rained on, outfit changes…she was such a great sport. It was truly a pleasure to meet this family. I hope to capture them again as {A} continues to grow!

{K: Birth Story}
Kimberly has been my doula (natural birthing coach) for my past two deliveries. Kimberly’s career is supporting mother’s as they labor through bringing their child into the world. Kimberly watches mother’s unite with their own children, all while there was a hole in her own heart as she hasn’t known her own birth mom. A precious DNA ancestry gift from a client, began to open the door for Kimberly and her birth mom to be reconnected. The test connected her to a cousin and eventually to her mom. 40 years later, they are united! When she asked me to take photos of their reunion birth, I was honored. Kimberly’s story of adoption, how she found her birth mom is simply beautiful. I love how God is true to His word: “Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Just like birth stories, the long time of laboring is quickly overlooked and forgotten, as a mother embraces her beautiful baby. I pray this too would be for Kimberly and her mom–that their togetherness now would overshadow the years apart! Kimberly shared her story here and I know that it is well worth reading. Thank you Kimberly for the honor and joy of capturing these for you and your mom. 
A + J Session
This morning A + J were all smiles & all boy! I absolutely loved taking their photos! I was incredibly stoked about the Smoky Mountain Model A Club, allowing us the incredible opportunity to take photos of the boys in their antique 1929 & 1930 Ford Model A cars!!! I mean what?!?! What a sweet surprise and fun gift to this family. We almost kept walking by, but I said it doesn’t hurt to ask…and boom…they said yes!! A huge thank you to the http://www.smokymountainmodela.com for letting us capture some priceless photos! And thank you to this sweet family for allowing me to meet their sweet boys! I look forward to capturing them again! Enjoy the session!
The gift of life
The glow of a woman bursting with excitement as they anticipate the coming of their sweet little one is one of both joy and honor for me as a photographer. I absolutely love capturing it. I love the gift of life.
