A few weeks after my oldest child, Noah, was born, I started thinking about when he would turn five. For whatever reason, that age has always stuck out to me. When he turned five, he wouldn’t be a baby anymore. He wouldn’t be a toddler. He’d be a kid. Which felt really big and scary […]

Every year when fall rolls around, I start craving warmth, spices, and delicious flavors and scents. Not much checks off all the boxes quite like apple butter spread over homemade bread! A few years back when my family first visited Scott’s Orchard, I began making apple butter in my crockpot. Now I’m on year five, […]

I am ever-inspired by mothers and honored to walk alongside so many wonderful ones. Motherhood is beautiful. It’s messy. It’s a blessing. It’s challenging and wonderful, exhausting and life-giving. Every time I have met another mom at a photo session, it’s brought me so much joy to talk and learn from her. Hearing perspectives, experiences, […]

I absolutely love lifestyle newborn sessions. Photographing families in their homes as they lovingly and naturally adore their precious new babies is so fulfilling. The intimacy and nostalgia of home pairs so perfectly with those early newborn days. As a Huntsville newborn photographer, I often get asked how parents can best prepare for their in-home […]

My soul has never been so sad to say goodbye to summer as it is this year. Usually the minute August arrives, I’m ready for autumn – here in the South I always know I won’t really get to savor the coziness that comes with the new season for a couple more months, but just […]

Oh, the Smith family! These four are just incredibly precious. I met them for their maternity session earlier this year, and getting to photograph their new baby was such a dream. As a Huntsville newborn photographer, it’s always special to me when a family trusts me with multiple sessions to document their new addition, and […]

If you’re thinking about when to book newborn photos, congratulations! A precious bundle of joy is getting ready to enter your life, or maybe already has! I know this is an exciting time filled with lots of unknowns and to-do’s. I’m glad to hear that a newborn session is on your mind and would love […]

I’ll be honest. I skipped maternity photos with my firstborn, and five years later, I still regret it. So whenever a family contacts me wanting a maternity session, whether it’s their first baby or their fourth, I get so excited! The Armstrong family wanted to document their family of three before the birth of their […]

Expectant families are usually pretty quick to consider scheduling newborn photos. Maternity photos, however, sometimes fall to the wayside and get skipped. I hope these Decatur, Alabama maternity photos will change your mind! It’s always so sweet to capture a family as they’re transitioning from one child to two. For a little while, it’s just […]

As I’m writing, it’s the first week of August. This has always been a bit of a confusing month for me, because it feels like we’re straddling two seasons – the end of sweet, slow summer, and the beginning of cozy autumn (even though, realistically, it won’t be consistently cooler here until closer to Thanksgiving).
