Emily and Brock, waiting for baby

The cool spring air and pastel sunlight was a beautiful combination for these maternity session pictures. Brock and Emily chose the dripping Spanish moss oak trees of Southwood as the backdrop for their photos.

They’re welcoming their first baby in a few short weeks and wanted to remember this season of anticipation with photographs. I love this session. It’s soft and sweet, alive and timeless.

I can’t wait to meet your little one!

Maclay Gardens in full bloom is one of those things that genuinely cannot be recreated.

Not next month. Not next year. Not by finding a similar spot somewhere else in town.

The soft pastel color, the light filtering through the canopy, the feeling of being completely surrounded by spring - it exists for a brief window, and then it is gone.

April 11 is the date. Five spots is the limit. When those are filled, that is it for this spring.

If you have been wanting to get your family photos updated and you keep waiting for the right moment, this one is worth paying attention to.

My dad was a hobbyist photographer when I was growing up.

Not a professional. Just someone who paid attention, picked up his camera, and kept a record of our family over the years.

Those photos have given me something I did not fully understand the value of until I was older - glimpses of moments that would have otherwise just faded. Seasons of our family's life that I can actually see, not just try to remember.

That is a big part of why I believe what I believe about this work.

Your family is your legacy. The people in your life right now, at this exact age, in this exact season - they deserve to be beautifully preserved. Not just for you, but for the people who come after you, who will one day look at those images and feel the warmth of a family that showed up for each other.

That is what I am here to help you do.
I’m still sifting through all the December sessions and have so many favorites to share. Thank you to all my families who trusted me to be a part of their photographic legacy. It is an honor and I never take it lightly.

Here’s to another great year!
Tonight I had the first session of the year! It was beautiful. I’m not sure if I love this warm January or not,  but it sure made this maternity session more comfortable.
A message from Santa as we wrap up the Christmas week. 

May you and your family be blessed this year and into the next. I look forward to seeing so many of you again in 2026.
