the birth story of sweet Emery Drew! It was a rainy May morning when I got the call that it would be the day! …

I love all births but this one is extra special. You see, Caitlin and Tyler are my first bride and groom to book me for their birth story. I can’t really put into words how much it means to me that a couple would continue to trust me again and again with some of the most special memories in their life.

I photographed their wedding about 2 years ago. (And yes, the previous post is about Tyler’s brother and his family) I love these two a whole bunch! When I found out Caitlin was pregnant I was over the moon excited for them and when she asked me to photograph their Birth Story I think I about died of excitement!

I’ve known this sweet little family for a few years now, ever since Zac’s brother got married! They are the kind of people you just enjoy being around because they are so kind and sweet. I actually had the privilege of doing maternity photos for them when they were expecting their first baby boy so it was so exciting when Bri contacted me to tell their Birth Story for baby boy #2! 

I’m back again! And it’s with another beautiful birth story!! 

This one is so special to me because Em is one of my closest friends and our friendship actually grew because of our passion for healthy living, organic foods, home/natural birth, and of course, Jesus!

Since I’m a wedding photographer, it always seems that the births I document happen to be in the fall and early winter. It works well that way. I get my fill of spring and summer weddings then I get a lovely dose of beautiful babies being born in the fall and winter. That’s not to […]

Over the past couple years Heather and Jordan have become good friends. You see, Heather was my neighbor growing up but she was homeschooled so we never knew each other. We both went off to college at Liberty University, still not knowing each other. My dad ran into her dad one day and they realized […]

I apologize in advance because this is going to be a long one. When you photograph 24 people AND it’s your pastor’s family (who you’ve known for almost 24 years) it’s bound to happen! My parents started going to LCF Church when I was 2. At the time it was the new church on the block. […]

Will is my little brother. He’s been my best friend for his whole life…like he really had a choice. ;]  I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out what to write for a whilte but every time I start to type it just sounds meh. Words can’t really do justice for how much I love […]

On Saturday morning, December 12, I woke up at 5:25 a.m. to my phone buzzing. Normally, I sleep like a rock, but the day before, I got a very exciting text saying that Cala was having contractions; so when the phone buzzed I was already expecting “the call.” I answered quietly so I wouldn’t wake up Mike and Ellie. I was greeted with a very perky, “Hey Emily! How ya doing? You ready to take some pictures?!”
