Miss Courtney was a Click Mama Click workshop attendee. Each of our 'students' received a gift certificate towards Amanda and my services: Courtney immediately knew (as in as she was opening the gift certificate!) that she was going to do a boudoir session! She and I went back and forth over Pinterest and Facebook and shopping sites and pin-up inspiration boards for weeks. And, she absolutely 100% nailed it! Allie stayed after doing hair and makeup because, as a lover of pin-up herself, she just couldn't resist, and I was up for any posing ideas she had! We laughed and giggled and could have shot for hours. Courtney blew me away in any poses that we came up with or ideas we had, ...

Sweet tiny baby Lily surprised her parents by arriving almost 3 full weeks early! I quickly rearranged a few things so that I could head over to the hospital for her First 48 session- I swear, I think these are the absolute BEST part of being a newborn photographer. I loooove seeing those tiny, fresh, little squishy faces surrounded by their absolutely adoring (and exhausted!) parents.

And for that, I am truly happy.And we will speak together on the phone: me asking questions to better understand what it is you are needing, but more importantly, what you are “wanting.” The wants are always more important than the needs when it comes to Art. And ...

Bailey was originally supposed to be a Love Letters client, but as always within the military, plans change! They didn't want to leave England without at least 1 maternity shoot with me, so we did two instead! We decided to shoot their pregnancy reveal in the gorgeous purple flowers near Lakenheath. These bloomed up spontaneously (I gasped when I drove past the first time!), and were the perfect stunning backdrop for this couple. I could tell right away how in love they were, and was so thrilled to be able to work with them! A few weeks later, Bailey contacted me again to set up her gender reveal shoot. However, due to separating from the AF, she couldn't get seen in for the ...
