I have been itching to post these for some time now.  Kristen made a STUNNING bride.  She also has the sweetest personality.  I absolutely loved working with her throughout her engagement to Justin and ultimately capturing their special day.  <3

I have been itching to post Paige's bridal session because everything about it is just GORGEOUS!!!!  Not to mention, her daughter Naomi is in a few of them and she is just adorable!!!  Paige is now a married lady as of last night!!!

They just moved to Florida and are settling into life as a newlywed couple.  I'm super excited for their new journey together!

Remi Nicole Brooks is their newest addition!  Their family is now complete!  I loved capturing these special moments in their home after coming home with their new baby girl.  Aiden is the BEST big brother.  He loves his sissy so much!  Love the Brooks family!!!! xoxo!

Something about Ashley that really got me is her TRUST in me as a photographer.  She trusted me every step of the way and believed in my art!!! Thank you Ashley for being nothing short of AMAZING throughout this process.  xoxo!

When it came time to tie the knot to the love of her life, Seth, the day couldn’t have been more perfect.  Autumn and Seth were giddy all day long.  What’s even more special… Autumn became the stepmom of Seth’s two sons.  During the ceremony, Autumn had vows written to the two boys.  I definitely teared up during that!!  It was a very emotional day and I just loved capturing all of the special moments of this NEW FAMILY!

Meet Rachelle and Brent!

Adding Another Addison...  What a fitting title considering it is Rachelle's hashtag she uses when referencing her pregnancy journey.  I just love how catchy it is!  Rachelle was the winner of my maternity session giveaway!  She contacted me right away and told me about her vision for her session.  She wanted something different than everyone else.  With it being June, indoors was obviously a great choice for a pregnant woman!  She chose the Southern Hotel for her session.  I was super excited to shoot at a new location.

I arrived at the Southern Hotel a little earlier than them to scope out the place and pick out my ideal spots.  Everywhere I turned there was another awesome spot to shoot.  The artwork on the walls is exquisite and the decor is so modern/chic.  I just loved the vibe of the entire place!  

Rachelle and Brent arrived and we got started.  They were so loving and sweet to one another.  I so loved chatting with them as we moved about the hotel.  I asked them what they were naming their daughter, and they responded, "Brielle."  They said it's their names combined.  What's funny is my daughter's name is ours combined as well!  You can truly feel the love from these parents for this sweet baby girl who will be making her appearance in August!  I am so excited for them and this new journey they are about to take together!  I loved working with them and hope to capture some sweet memories of them as a family when baby Brielle arrives. :)
