During this time, when we are uncertain of our schedules and future events, I want to continue to celebrate our High School Seniors. Even though this will be a memory one year that is distinct and a story that will be told around dining room tables, I completely understand the disappointment for this year’s seniors […]

Graham Cracker.  Graham the Ham.  Grambo.  I have never heard or had so many nicknames for a baby I have photographed.  His parents play the game too and have a new one every time they come for a session.  Do you know what it reminds me of?  Did any of y’all watch Mad About You?  […]

I love Senior Portraits. Honestly, I love all photography. Even the stuff I’m not great at, I appreciate so much, but Senior Portraits are so, so fun. From the Momma point of view, I think they are really important too. It’s the last baby portrait, right? It marks the finish of childhood before they transition […]

Ah, Say Yes to the Dress. The show sparked a phenomenon of watching brides make the most personal decision of their wedding planning time along with all their entourage and (sometimes) drama. Do you love reality tv? Some I do and some I hate, but it tends to draw me in. I had my stints […]

The baby girl turned 14 this month (this past weekend, actually). 14. Every momma says it, but it goes by so fast. You see it most poignantly in your oldest and youngest. Milestones start happening fast and furious and they feel a little foggy. Like, as soon as you can focus on what is happening […]

One of the purest honors of what I do is to get to attend the birth of a precious new life. Last night we celebrated Evelyn’s arrival after a long day of labor and an emergency c-section. Praise to our Lord for a safe arrival for Momma and Baby. Enjoy Evelyn’s Birth Announcement!

A couple weeks ago, I was able to share some new packaging for Cottage Babies and their families, and in the spirit of refreshing for spring, I also want to share The Cottage’s new Wedding Packages. Over the past 6 years, I have tweaked and grown packages to offer a variety of options to cater […]

Good Morning and Happy April! Spring is upon us, and with that comes Spring Cleaning (in a lot of places, but most likely not here!) and organizing and refreshing! I do love to do the organizing and refreshing part, but if anyone would like to do the cleaning part here, have I got a project […]

There has been a new birth at The Cottage!! Not a baby birth, but a business birth. When you begin a business, you have choices to make about your business model, and while I don’t want to bore you with all that, that’s where my journey began. My generation is the one that started with […]
