Hyatt. Newborn.

Oh sweet, Rennen. We have been praying for you for SO very long - what a blessing to be able to snuggle this sweet miracle! You are blessed with the best parents and big sisters any boy could ever have. We love you more than words!!

Grissinger. Newborn.

Children are such blessings, such miracles. If our path to children, including infertility and loss, allows us to walk alongside others on theirs, then I’m thankful for the pain. The best part of it is celebrating, and I’m overjoyed for these friends! Could Lidia be any more adorable? And those loving big sisters! Also, how amazing is this walking trail directly in their backyard??

Jack. Newborn.

Precious Jack, we have been praying for you!! Sharing in life’s big moments with friends keeps getting sweeter. My heart could burst seeing our sweet friends welcome their baby boy, and seeing Nora become a big sister! He is one lucky boy. I couldn’t be happier for you guys - we love you!

There are few things sweeter than seeing your best friends have babies. Danielle is one of my longest and truest friends, and navigating college, heartbreak, forever love (yep, she introduced me to my husband!), becoming mommies together…it’s the best! She is one of the most selfless people I know, and she loves her people well. It was such an honor to be able to capture this special time with their new baby boy!

Ty. Newborn.

It was such a pleasure to be welcomed into Tyler & Emily’s gorgeous (farmhouse dream!) home to celebrate the arrival of their precious little boy. The joy and calm truly radiated in all of them, and it did my heart so much good! You are wonderful parents, and I can’t wait to see you again soon!

Watson. Newborn.

Having babies with your best friends is such a blessing. Allie and I met in high school and reconnected our first semester at NCState. We then lived together the next 3 years and have been besties ever since. True friendship is that regardless of distance and time, you are always there for each other. I love doing life together and that four of our five babies are only months apart. It was such an honor to capture such a special time for her - I love these girls to PIECES.

Emma. Newborn.

I can hardly believe it was almost a year and a half ago that we were taking pictures of sweet Madison, and today I had the pleasure of meeting her precious baby sister, Emma! Rossi, you are SUCH a good mommy, and these girls are so blessed to call you theirs. Love watching your girls grow, and can’t wait to share many more memories!

Julian. 11 days new.

It’s hard to believe our sweet boy is almost 2 weeks old. It’s funny how much I love capturing images for others but sometimes forget to do it myself! We finally carved out time to snap a few of Julian, and although he wasn’t fully cooperative and it exhausted me ;), I sure am glad we did. People tell you your heart only expands with children, and they couldn’t be more right! We love you baby boy and are so glad God gave us you.

Lucas. Newborn.

It is so fun to watch lifelong friends become moms. And it’s even more fun to have the honor to photograph their first few days! I’ve known Dana since middle school, and we lived together for a few years in college and after. That was just yesterday, right?! We’ve come a long way since all day PJs and takeout ;) So excited for your sweet family, and congratulations on the most adorable little boy!

Camden + Mckinley. Newborn.

IT’S OFFICIAL! I’m so excited for this sweet family and to finally be able to share these pictures from December!

Words can't ever adequately express how truly amazing it is to watch your friends become parents, especially when you've waited and prayed alongside them. Meeting these precious gifts and watching the love that Dale & Lauren have for them was such a privilege. Thank you for letting me share in this special time with your family of four!

The love you feel when your best friend has a baby is indescribable. I am in awe, in love, and so thrilled for Danielle and Garrett and can't wait to watch sweet Weston grow up. It seems like yesterday we were business fraternity pledges...we sure have come a long way ;) So thankful to do this mommy thing with you, sweet friend!

Sweet baby Jay was about 4 weeks old for his first photo shoot! As handsome as they come, he is so well loved by his sweet mama and daddy. Brooke & John, enjoy every second with this precious miracle. They go by too quickly!

Clare. Newborn.

I am so thrilled to introduce the newest addition to one of the sweetest families I know. We have had the pleasure of getting to know Shannon and Erin through life group at church, and some lucky Sundays I get to hang out with Rylan in Kid Point. I am beyond excited for them as they just became a family of four. 

Welcome to the world, beautiful baby Clare. You are one lucky little girl!
