My heart behind it all.

I had an interest in photography since I was a kid which has now turned into a passion. I remember taking lots of photos with an old film camera. Now, all the photos were blurry because I could never line up those darn lines perfectly but I still enjoyed it. Then I bought my first digital camera. You know, the ones that could fit in your pocket. Many photos were taken with it mostly of friends and some landscape. They did not contain any creativity by any means but life was documented. Many years later, my husband bought me my first DSLR. I photographed so many things and I even tried a little bit of family stuff. Now, if you’ve been following me long enough you’ve heard me say at the beginning of my journey I didn’t want to do families. God had different plans.

When my daughter was born, God gave me a passion for family photography. I found out first hand how fast these babes grow and I found myself wanting to hold onto the memories. Photographs were/are my way to do this.

I hadn’t realized how important photographs were until after my daughter was born so I missed photos of the first moments she was born and oh, how I wished I had photos of these precious moments. So when my son was born I coached my husband on what I wanted. Didn’t he do an amazing job? I am forever grateful for these photographs. Those first moments feeling his weight on my chest, his sweet cry, and those moments of just us after the nurses and doctor leave. I love these moments and I want to remember them forever.

This is my hope for you. I hope you never look back wishing you had taken the photos whether it be family, maternity or newborn. Or even birth, when I start offering it. I promise, you won’t regret them but you could regret not having them.

To have these tangible, heartfelt memories are irreplaceable. It is your ability to hold those memories personally. Life with your family is worth documenting.
