There are moments in a photographer's journey that feel profoundly special—this maternity session was one of them.

Welcoming a new baby into the family is one of life’s most cherished milestones, and capturing those first precious moments is something every parent will treasure forever.

There is something incredibly special about being invited to document a family’s most cherished milestones.

This maternity session is very close to my heart! A few years ago I blogged about my daughter Kaitlin and Andrew’s beautiful North Carolina wedding and I wanted to express my heart as a mom when your daughter gets married! It was such a wonderful joy for me to share my heart!

I have been photographing this beautiful family for over seven years now!  It started when Alyssa was expecting her daughter, Autumn Faith.  We had so much for the first time doing a maternity session.

Stephanie and I have been working together for just about a year!  She is such an awesome fashion blogger and I have learned so much about fashion.........

I was so excited when I received a phone call from Nicole telling me that she and Ali were expecting a child! They could not be more delighted hearing the news that it was a girl!!!.....

This adorable little one just turned one! Life is pretty full for her chasing around her three older brothers......

I was so excited when Sarah called me to come and photograph her beautiful girl twins!  It was my first time and I was very excited!  We had so much fun and the girls were just angels.......

When springtime comes I get really excited! One of the reasons is to be able to get outside and capture these adorable memories for families!  Autumn and Christopher are seriously so adorable........

I am so blessed to have so many wonderful photographer friends!  One in particular, Monika de Meyer, who happens to be my birthday twin, well we got together and decided to make a pretty little styled shoot together!...............

I was so excited when my beautiful cousin called to tell me that she and Ali were expecting their first child!  When they found out it was a girl, they were thrilled!  I had so much fun capturing this beautiful time in their lives.......

there is nothing more precious than a mother and daughter!  The love that they share is never ending.........

When my niece told me that she was expecting her first child I was thrilled to hear the good news.  It was such an honor to photograph her beautiful maternity session.......
