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.

I love when a plan comes together! One of the great honors of this job is to get to watch a little one grow their first year. Last year was a huge baby year at The Cottage, so I was in heaven! Each session provides it’s own opportunity for creativity, and because you get a […]

Okay, everyone! This is big! Never before seen at The Cottage. This year, I am so excited to announce Mom and Me Exclusive Sessions at The Cottage! One of my favorite events of the year is Daddy Daughter Date Night that I get to participate in with our awesome, local Chick-fil-As, and this year, I […]

Alyssa and Dylan have been waiting for this day for a long, long time! Don’t let their baby faces fool you! After being middle and high school sweethearts, and an engagement of over a year, they were ready!! Alyssa got to think through all her plans and fine tune her details to suit her day […]
