One of my favorite little nuggets is back on the blog today. I spent Sunday night with her and her mama traipsing around Berry College, snuggling and giggling and giving a few stink eyes.

You know what I love? When I finish a sessions and I can’t stop looking through the gallery and smiling back at my friends in the portraits. And this session puts a grin on my face every time I look at it! I mean- how can you look at these two giggling and laughing at […]

Hi Friends! In January I told myself I would blog once each week for the year- But here we are, a week into February and I’m… 3 blogs behind? Maybe more! Oops! I thought January would be a little slower following the crazy holiday season but apparently it’s still a circus over here. One reason […]
