I can’t believe Joey is a senior this year! I’ve been photographing Joey and his wonderful family for many, many years, so this one is definitely bittersweet.

The Stephens family has always trusted me to capture so many special moments over the years, and I’m honored to be the one capturing Joey’s senior year too. It’s pretty special getting to watch these kids grow up in front of my camera!

Have an amazing senior year, Joey! Enjoy!

It’s always fun having Will and Tristan back in front of my camera for their yearly photos! Another year older, another year of capturing these two as they grow. Love keeping this tradition going!

Our nephew recently came in for a photo session to put together some images for modeling opportunities. It was so much fun getting to work with him and capture a variety of looks for his portfolio. He did such a great job in front of the camera!

We may be a little biased, but we think he’s got a pretty great look! Excited to see where this might take him!

Some kids are just completely at home in front of the camera, and Remmie is definitely one of them! I've had the privilege of photographing all of her birthday sessions over the years, and it's been so much fun watching her grow. Every year she makes my job easy—her smiles, personality, and confidence just come naturally. I can't wait to see what next year's session brings!

Oh my goodness! Jace turned 9, and Parker turned 3! It feels like just yesterday they were little guys in front of my camera. Watching these two grow year after year is one of the best parts of my job. Happy Birthday, Jace and Parker!

It's hard to believe this little guy is already 9 months old! Watching him grow through his first year has been such a joy.

What's even more special is that I photographed his mom throughout her childhood, and now I get to capture these same milestones for her son. There is something incredibly meaningful about seeing generations come full circle. Thank you for trusting me with your family's memories all these years! Enjoy

Thomas' birthday session is always one I look forward to each year. I can't believe how tall he's getting... it won't be long before he's taller than me!

He's especially special to me because I've had the privilege of photographing him every year as he's grown up. Even before that, I photographed his parents' wedding, so getting to watch and capture these milestones through the years means more than I can put into words.

Enjoy!

It was so special getting to photograph Jaeda, Logan, and their beautiful 3-month-old daughter, Aleina. This session was extra meaningful for me because I photographed Jaeda when she was a little girl, and now I have the privilege of photographing her daughter. Seeing families grow through the years and being trusted to capture these milestones is one of the best parts of what I do.

Welcome to your photo debut, Miss Aleina. You are already so loved. Enjoy!

Braxleigh recently celebrated turning 3, and she was all smiles for her birthday session. It's hard to believe how much she's grown since I first started photographing her. Her personality shines a little brighter every year, and she made this session so much fun. Happy 3rd Birthday, Braxleigh! Thank you for letting me capture these memories for your family.

Mr. Asher's Birthday Session!
It's hard to believe this little guy is already 4. I still remember photographing him as a newborn, and now I'm celebrating another birthday milestone with him. Watching kids grow up through my camera lens is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Thank you to Asher's family for allowing me to capture these memories over the years. It has been such a joy watching him grow, and I can't wait to see what this next year brings for him!
