Christmas Already?!

This time of the year sneaks up on me. And this year, it snuck up with vengeance. I mean, it’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, right? For me – and I’m sure many others can relate – it tends to bring stress. Like many others, photographers work their booties off […]

Welcoming the Newest ELCHERT {first 48}

Christina and John didn’t figure out the gender with their first baby (my beautiful cousin, Stella), and they did the same for their second. I never really understood the whole deal of leaving the gender as a surprise until just recently. See, I received a text on Sunday night from Christina, letting me know that […]

Herbert {family}

When you’re greeted at the door by a little boy wearing a Mario hat and a toothless grin, you know you’re in for something good.  I wasn’t wrong. After our session, momma sent me a Facebook message telling me that she realized that she wanted these photos to be of HER kids… not perfect robots. […]

Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Perfect timing, […]

Katie + Matt {engagement}

They met in high school. They are amazing because although I met with them for only about an hour or so, I felt like I’ve known them my whole life. They laugh… a lot. I mean, like, a lot. I think you’ll see what I mean. They just might be the sweetest of country high […]

Cora Grace {6 months}

To say that this past week was hard would be an understatement.  But I’ll tell ya what, when I have a precious baby in front of my lens, all is right in my life.  I’ve always described my studio as a separate place from the world… A place where only love is spoken and memories […]

Gravity

Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long. No matter what I say or do, I’ll still feel you here ’til the moment I’m gone. You hold me without touch. You keep me without chains. I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your […]

It's October!

October is here!  It’s actually surreal to me.  I remember last Fall as if it were yesterday.  Last year seems so close and yet, worlds away.  So much has changed since then.  Change…  Today, Sammi and I transformed my office into a prop room.  It was used as an office for about 5 seconds and […]
