Welcome to my blog!!! I'm a natural light photographer that specializes in bellies, births and babies. There is just something about the 'business of babies' that I can't get enough of. While you're here, take a look around, comment if you like, and don't forget to use the contact button to schedule your session!

Awaiting Levi | Louisville Maternity Photographer

One of my favorite maternity sessions to date! We ventured out to Bernheim Forest on this amazing autumn day. They were so much fun and are so full of life; seriously made my job easy. You can just feel their love and anticipation radiating from these photographs. Mr. Levi was long awaited and lovingly welcomed into the world in November. I will be posting his newborn portrait session soon!

Chris + Candice: Engaged | Louisville Engagement Photographer

Though newborn photography is my passion, I love the moments where I get to step outside my studio and spend some time with an amazing couple in love. I met up with Chris and Candice at My Old Kentucky Home for their engagement session and we ended up out in Wilson Creek...one of my favorite locations!
This couple is seriously too sweet for words! 
I captured their wedding vows on January 21...blog post to come ;)

Awaiting Tinsley | Louisville Maternity Photographer

Isn't her name just adorable! This little sweetheart was welcomed into the world by her gorgeous big sister, Trinity, back in October. Sadly, I was unable to do Tinsely's newborn pictures due to my unexpected appendectomy :( but I am so grateful I was able to capture these amazing moments before her arrival.

Natalie: 6 weeks new | Louisville Newborn Photographer

As I said last week, I have lots of catching up to do on the blog. As a mom, student, photographer, and wife, my life has been very busy the past several months, and things are finally slowing down so that I can catch my breath. I'm sure you are all aware of my passion for bellies and babies by now, and because of this love I've decided to take my business into a new direction, focusing on the three things I love most.

I normally like to have my newborns in the studio within their first 10 days, but due to scheduling conflicts with school I was unable to get sweet Natalie in that early...but as you can see, she rocked her session! It took me a little bit to get her soundly sleeping, but once I did she was a dream. And I am absolutely in love with this pink blanket! Definitely a new favorite of mine.

Olivia: 7 months | Louisville Baby Photographer

It's hard to believe that this sweetheart is the same 7lb miracle I witnessed entering this world. I had the joy of documenting Olivia's birth, which was absolutely breathtaking! You can see it HERE. Of course being the niece of photographer does have it's perks....as you can also see HERE and HERE. I'm positive that there will not be a shortage of pictures of this beauty as she grows into a stunning woman, just like her mother.

This little princess was simply adorable! Even at three weeks old she was still so tiny, and you all know how much I love the tiny ones.
