I have been so behind on posting to my blog, but I’ve been busy. I shot a gorgeous wedding in Atlanta (blog post to follow soon) and lots of adorable little ones. Finally, I’m back here. And I’m so excited to introduce my new niece, Caleigh. She was born a...

Prior to meeting him, I heard that this little guy loved the camera. Even knowing that, I wasn’t prepared for such a ham. Frame after frame caught Jaeden with fantastic expressions. It was really a dream shoot: A happy baby with a sparkling personality and a beautiful, breezy summer day. I couldn’t ask for anything...
