Over Labor Day weekend I flew out to see my sister and her husband who live just outside Denver in Aurora! While I am a salty soul through and through, it was nice to see land that wasn’t so…..flat 😉 My dad flew out too and while we were planning on surprising her, we nearly […]

This past Friday my best friend and I headed up to Northern Virginia for a weekend of shopping, eating, drinking, laughing, dreaming and LEARNING! We were so excited to be attending our first photography workshop/conference, CLIC, in Alexandria. We met some great new people, learned ALOT from all the speakers and really walked away knowing […]

This session is so sweet and close to my heart because I have known sweet Gracelyn (and her awesome parents!) since she was days old! I did her newborn photos when I was first getting started and although I don’t do newborns anymore except for friends and family, I am honored they ask me back […]

I really love writing blogs like this ones because it means that I got to be a part of a HUGE part at the beginning journey of parenthood, finding out WHO your baby is!! There are so many fun ways I’ve seen but I LOVED Jeff & Lindsey’s. Our friend Alex and her sweet Savvy girl […]

It’s hard to look at these pictures and know it was FREEZING cold during this shoot. The wind was so not on our side, but the Chappell’s were troopers! Maybe because of the secret they were getting ready to spring on Alyssa! As we were finishing up our shoot, Chris’s mom rode by! He had […]

Dear finally-not-a-newlywed you, Isn’t your husband the best?! He went above and beyond for your first anniversary. Researched and researched, asked some trusted professionals and bought you a shiny new camera. A “good” camera that takes “good” pictures. Wow, wait until you talk to your 5-years- married-momma-to-two-boys-and- owned-a-business-for-over-a-year-self. You will now know how to take […]

She was nervous and asked if he was ready. No reason to be nervous, they were already married. But this day was the day he’d see her in a white dress and say he would in front of her mom, dad, and her sister. This day she would say me too in front of his […]

If you’ve been a fan of EMP for awhile then you may recognize this adorable family! It’s Murphy’s Law that one the day of our sessions it will be cold and windy, but they always rock it out. Sarah, Chris, Mia and Mason met me WAY out in Pungo, pretty much North Carolina actually but […]

It’s funny with Facebook you get the chance to watch your friends from high school go out and have families of their own like nearly ten years hasn’t already gone by! Levin and I knew each other all through high school! There were plenty of laughs shared over Hickory High lunch tables. It was awesome […]

Rhandy & Lisa are the adorable parents to two even more adorable boys, Logan and Jackson! It’s so important for photos at this age, your babies are changing just so much. Yes, they don’t really sit and look and smile but just documenting those moments and mannerisms will make you so happy years to come! […]

As photographers we start to really favor places to shoot, East Beach is no exception for me! It is gorgeous, calm, relatively empty, and provides that perfect East Coast dune grass look I love! Not to mention, the whole neighborhood is so idyllic so I absolutely love when I get to introduce the area to […]

So I can finally share images from a short and sweet session I did a few weeks back for a friend of mine! I met Gemma a few weeks before her wedding to do her makeup. At the time, I was about 18 weeks pregnant with maverick I think and she had just found out […]

Clare is the daughter of our great friends, Coleman and Kendal. The whole time Kendal was pregnant I swore Clare was a baby and since she was a delivery surprise( like really a surprise she came the day after her baby shower!) it was quite the anticipation game! Kendal talked to me about doing a […]

I really love getting to meet people I have talked to so much via Facebook! Since Mother Nature has given me some crazy weather this year, we had to reschedule our session but I am thrilled we did! Ended up with perfect temperatures and a very uncrowded street. I hope when you see these images you notice […]
