at home with the O’Neals… a family session

Randy & Jana O’Neal have really really adorable sons. As in, they’re almost as cute as my son… which is a stretch, since I’m the mother of the most beautiful boy on earth. (Aren’t we all?)
I haven’t had much time with their images yet, but I wanted to get them a few sneak peeks before...

tiffany & mark’s snuggly sundance engagement session

When we scheduled Tiffany & Mark’s engagement session for 9 a.m. on a weekday in Sundance Square, the weather was still beautiful. Fast forward a few weeks to constant rain and chilly temperatures, and we were understandably concerned.

“all you need is…” — Kari & Garrett’s wedding

C’mon, you know you sang the rest of that classic line!
Kari & Garrett’s wedding this last Saturday afternoon was a lesson for Mack and I in scaling it down. Only one attendant each, 30 guests, few formalities… this couple truly knew that all that mattered was each other. In fact, Kari was only able to...

sunshine in my soul

*Note: By popular demand, I’m going to start blogging once a week or so about more random things. I’ve been wary of doing this in the past because, well… you’re not here for me, right? You’re here for the fun pictures! But enough people, both “real life” friends and blogstalkers, have mentioned it that I...

legally brunette — Jessica’s celebration session

You’ll have to forgive me for that title. It’s early on a Monday morning, and my “witty” button seems to be broken. Still, it kind of works, right? Jessica is a gorgeous brunette, who’s about to graduate from TSU with her degree in Pre-Law, and head off to Law school to kick butt with the...
