As of this afternoon, I am back to work. I will be shooting a session and then Gracie and I have to buy some things for Santa and then my plan is to come home to start editing. Typically I handle all newborn things and that has gotten a little further behind that I like. I will be working on those off and on over the next week in between trying to get set for Santa. So much appreciation to the folks who have been helping us with Santa set-up as we are a SOLID week behind. If you're in Springfield and bored and we are there stop in -- we will give you a job. LOL.

Thank you for the time away. While I'm still very ... well, I don't have accurate words for what I am, I just know it's "very" ... I need to get back to work to keep my mind busy.

If you still have one, go hug your mama today for me.

Starting set up for Santa today and I can’t wait to create this set right here. It might be my favorite this year. We still have some reindeer sessions left. If you’re interested drop a comment below.

Brooklyn and Camden | October 24, 2026

Saturday was such a beautiful day celebrating these two at River House at Southern Light Farm. From the perfect weather to the sweetest families and a dance floor full of friends, the whole day was filled with so much love and happiness.

And that sunset, it was magic. We couldn’t have asked for a prettier evening, with the most beautiful golden light followed by a blue hour that was the perfect way to finish out the day.

Brooklyn and Camden, thank you for letting us be a part of such a special day. We are so happy for you both and wish you a lifetime of the sweetest memories together.

Please bear with us this week as my mom passed away late last night. We may request some modifications to our schedule this week but we are always committed to serving our clients as best we can

Thank you for your kindness during this difficult time.

"If you had told me the girl on the schoolbus would be my wife one day, I would have told you you were crazy." ~Camden to Brooklyn during their private vows.

Well, looks like no one was too crazy because here we are!

Congratulations to Brooklyn and Camden on their wedding!
(and yes, the sky was really that pretty tonight!!)

When your dad works for Skylife and your mama plans ahead for your session ... you get the most customized image ever. What a precious image that I know dad is going to print and hang in his office for sure. Little Maverick (how about a PERFECT name too?) was all ready in his custom flight suit from Lisa Eaton at Lily Mily Boutique & Co. He was such a trooper for his session too! Welcome to the world little man!

Wishing our friend Jesse Boyd a huge happy birthday! I'm pretty sure he lucked out and got THE cutest family on the planet!

Sweetest little six month session. And look at that beautiful red hair!! And even though I say it regularly ... I love six month sessions so very much!

Can we TALK about this cutie right here who arrived just in enough time to get us into the a total fall vibe. He had the CUTEST expressions and often looked at us like we were kooky for posing him like we did, but ... hey, he was so cute so we had to! Congratulations to Whitney and Matt! He is such a wonderful, handsome blessing!
