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 […]

In The Quiet

I sat here for awhile. Trying to decide how words could possibly do these photographs justice. They can’t. But I will say that moments like these validate what I do. Families like this one show me why God put a camera in my hands.  It’s an extraordinary thing to be a part of memories. Whenever I […]

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 […]

The REAL Story of Snow White {Pit Bull Awareness Month}

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 […]

Picture Frames & Dave Matthews

Get ready for some rambling. It was a Saturday night – not different than most – spent at the studio.  I had filled my day with shopping: first the flea market, then Hobby Lobby, and then T.J. Maxx.  I love flea markets and T.J. Maxx because you really have to LOOK and SIFT to find […]

Arya Noelle {Birth Story}

Let me start by saying that I am a firm believer in plans. Yes, I believe in planning my days and sessions and what I’m having for dinner… but I am also a firm believer in His plan.  I believe that every single person enters my life for a reason.  They are part of my […]

Katherine & Eli

It’s September!!! Yikes, not quite sure how I feel about that. I’m excited for Fall because I love the cool air, smell of leaves, and festivities, but I feel like time is moving on without me. I’m stuck back in May or something. Do I sound completely crazy? Probably, but it’s the truth. I’m trying […]
