Bess, John, Adie | Lasting Memories

All I've ever wanted to do is take pictures that matter.  The kind of pictures that speak to your heart and leave you longing for that moment again.  

All I've ever wanted to do is document and tell beautiful stories that lie within each and every family.  To capture the love, laughter and heartfelt moments.  

To me, it’s all about the real emotion and candid moments that make my heart skip a beat.  I adore children, their pure spirits, their natural, sweet, funny, and adorable little expressions.  I want nothing more than to make sure these kind of moments are captured and preserved for many years to come.  For parents to be able to look back on and remember forever…freezing time because it slips by so quickly.  It’s an honor to join family’s lives and photograph the real connection and beauty of what lies within the core of a family. 

So when my dear friends asked me to capture some portraits of their beautiful daughter Adie during a summer cookout, I was so excited!  I really wanted to be able to give them meaningful portraits of Adie, ones that would celebrate their beautiful daughter.  I couldn't just stop at photographing Adie though, ohh nooo….there were several times during the day that my heart was a puddle in water as I watched through my lens the love of this amazing family and their love for sweet Adie. 

Adie has the most sweet, real and hilarious personality.  She is a true extension of her amazing parents, my loving friends who I adore with all my heart.  So happy I could preserve these memories for them.  

Here are a few of my favorites from our special day :)
