Stocktons | Family


One of my favorite things is getting to see the children of client's growing up. Even though it's only been a year since I first met this sweet-faced boy and his family, it is so fun to see how he's developing! He is full of energy, creative ideas, and laughter! And of course that adorable smile doesn't hurt either!

Georgie & Jack | Family

Words cannot describe my adoration for this family. Georgie and Jack are Liam's favorite playmates (although to him they are not separate, but just GeorgieJack) and he frequently asks for them. And by frequently, I mean most every day. They have taken to calling Liam their "Little Hatchling" and he could not be happier about it! We spent the afternoon playing, laughing, and taking laid-back pictures, which in my opinion, are the best kind!










Thanks for making my heart happy yet again Georgie and Jack!

Watch Him Grow | Family

I have had the privilege of watching this adorable child grow this past year! I am beyond thankful to his parents for taking a chance on a beginning photographer when he was born! After photographing his newborn and six month pictures, it was SO fun seeing all of the changes in him as a one year old!







He melts my heart every time!

Brittany | Senior

You know those girls who are good at everything? They're smart, funny, athletic, and drop dead gorgeous on top of all that? Brittany is one of those girls. If I were in high school I would be tempted to not like her because she's just so darn amazing, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to not like Brittany. I dare you to try it. It's impossible! Most importantly though, is Brittany's heart. This girl has a love for the Lord and other people that far outshines her other amazing qualities.

We had an incredibly fun session filled with a few laughter-inducing mishaps along the way! Brittany's truck got stuck in a ditch while we were driving into the field where she wanted to take pictures. So naturally, I got out and helped push. Apparently pregnant women aren't supposed to do that. And apparently 25 isn't too old to get in trouble with your mom for pushing trucks out of ditches while pregnant : )

I'd say it was worth it to get these shots though!


Fierce fierce fierce!




And she's amazing at track. There's nothing this girl can't do!



Brittany, you are truly an inspiring person and it has been an honor to get to know you! I know the Lord has big plans for you life and I can't wait to see how your story unfolds! Thank you for letting me be a part of it all!

Luellen | Family

When Heather first contacted me about taking their family pictures, she asked me to focus primarily on their son, Jake. Jake is the same age as my oldest nephew and the thought of that terrified me. There is no way on Earth my nephew would get in front of the camera, much less pose, much less smile. I honestly thought Heather was asking the impossible and went into the session very anxious.

Let me just tell you...Jake is a ROCK STAR. He blew me away with his willingness to be in front of the camera and trust the crazy things I was asking him to do. Maybe my nephew's refusal to let me take a picture of him stems from the fact that I still try to rock him like a baby and reminisce about stories of when he loved Blue's Clues. Jake, be glad I didn't do this to you : )




Tom and Heather have the BEST story of how they met! Heather is an amazing pianist and played for Tom's choral group in college. Each time before rehearsal, the singers would warm up by giving each other back massages. Tom, being the perceptive man that he is, noticed a cute girl at the piano and wondered why no one ever included her in the back rub tradition. He took it upon himself to be the first. The guy has moves (and apparently a great back rub)!

These two radiate love for each other. I bet that they are even more in love now than they were back in college!



Thank you all so much for letting me spend time with your family! It was such an honor to hear your stories and laughter!

Gender Reveal! | Personal



We are THRILLED to announce that we are having a baby GIRL! Nora Lynn Foster (unless I go crazy and change my mind before September) was already being stubborn during her ultrasound and it took a while to get the "money" shot, but eventually she cooperated and we couldn't be happier!

Tenure Celebration | Personal

Today shoved in the back of a drawer I found my journal from high school. So. Embarrassing. I have to laugh at some of the things I wrote or else I would cry. It makes me truly thankful that God "...who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Because whew, I needed a lot of work (and still do)!

On July 11, 2002 I was writing about one of the many guys that captured my interest during my teenage years and I wrote, "I always wonder who I'm going to marry. I just can't wait to have that bond with a man. Just to know that they really do love me and will always be there for me and I can completely be myself around them."

Little did Mike know that as he was teaching at the University of Miami (after having graduated with a bachelor's degree, a master's, and recently left a very successful job as an architectural lighting designer in New York) that there was a very dramatic high school girl in the Midwest dreaming of him. He was laying the foundation of our future life together while I was still saying things like, "That guy is hecka hot!"

I am beyond grateful that he is such a hard worker. That he is dedicated. That he outshines any dreamy expectation I had of a husband when I was a teenager.

Recently Mike earned tenure! This is an incredibly big deal (or as high school Laura would say, "a hecka big deal")! He has been working toward this goal for years and I could not be more proud of him!

To celebrate, I attempted to plan a surprise date. My sweet friend Rowena was going to come over to watch Liam and when she showed up, I would explain the big surprise date. Things. Did. Not. Go. As. Planned. Mike will tell you a very different (and embellished) version of the story, but even though things didn't pan out the way I envisioned, we had a wonderful time!



Mike, I know I've said this before, but thank you for being more than I ever thought possible. I am SO proud of you...not just for your accomplishments, but for the man that you are. Thank you for really loving me, and always being there for me (and Liam, and Baby #2), and allowing me to truly be myself around you...even though at times that involves lots of drama. I love you!
