I really do have the best job ever, and i'm so thankful that once a year I can give back! A few years ago I started The Rainbow Gift, to bless mommas that have gone through years of infertility, losses, adoption struggles and more. When Sheena & Nathan announced they had adopted twin girls, I knew I wanted to give them The Rainbow Gift!

When they came to the studio and talked about their story as I photographed their new baby girls, I was in tears and had goosebumps with how it all worked out. They struggled for over 10 years, 9 losses, failed adoption and tons of heartache. They are the SWEETEST couple and their faith is astounding, they deserve all the happiness in this world and i'm just so blessed that I could do these portraits to celebrate their new family of four! These are just a *few* of my favorites!

January.

That was the last time I blogged a session, woah.

It might also be next January before I remember to blog again haha but I am going to try to get better at taking a few minutes each week to blog a session! I'd also love to blog about other things like life, kids, traveling/camping, photographing puppies ect! Be sure to put in the comments what you'd like to read about on here, if anything other than pretty portraits! ;)


Today, 14 day old newborn twins Rollyn & Landrie are featured!

They were the sweetest babies during their newborn session with me, and I cannot WAIT to photograph them again at their milestone sessions over the next year!! I got to capture them in their momma's belly too, best job ever!

Oh, 2020.

What a year, I think we can all agree.

The year a pandemic hit, businesses were forced to shut down for lengths of time, kids learning school virtually (whew, ready for that part to end!), momma's being principal, lunch lady, teacher, janitor, and trying to stay sane amidst it all, especially if still working on top of it all!

For me, this year has been whirlwind in many ways, but I wanted to look back on the TOP 3 silver linings through it all.

I had to close my studio temporarily due to a mandated shutdown and I was literally going crazy not being able to shoot sessions, use my creative outlet or work with my clients! What did I do? I started ordering BARBIES haha. My husband would walk by, there I am in the living room sewing wardrobe for them, making tiny flower crowns, tiny swaddles, built a teeny crib and little sets to photograph them like they were clients! Yes, I know this sounds crazy, but it kept me sane and ended up being so much fun. I photographed maternity, a birth in a barbie jeep, a water birth in a tub, a welcome home for a soldier's wife, newborn twins and more for the Barbie Series. It was a blast and made tons of people happy which was my goal!

The silver lining: My niece got a ton of Barbies to keep afterwards haha (mom of boys here!), and I made people smile in a tough time. :)

Every year our local magazine, Owensboro Parent, opens voting for favorite local businesses. When I found out I had won Best/Favorite Newborn & Family Photographer of Owensboro, KY...I felt insanely honored and thankful. To know so many voted for me, winning that in this tough year especially, is such an amazing accomplishment for my small business and i'm still so thankful! Seeing it in print in the magazine was extra special too!

The silver lining: Amidst tough and uncharted times...good things can come and make the whole year! 

RIGHT before Covid hit, I started something called The Rainbow Gift. After having experienced loss myself, and hearing heartbreaking stories from clients, I wanted to offer something special to bring light to one momma and hope to do this each year! I was able to gift my time, along with a gorgeous Keepsake Box of prints & all digitals to a special rainbow momma that had experienced loss, infertility then adopted their rainbow baby whom had open heart surgery at just a few days old! We had the most amazing session and captured beautiful portraits for them to forever have! 44 News also reached out and wanted to feature the story which was absolutely incredible! A few of my rainbow momma clients came in to be interviewed and talk about their own journey, and it helped get the word out for my giveaway to give more mommas the opportunity. <3

The silver lining? That we were able to do this literally weeks before the pandemic happened, and blessing an amazing rainbow momma!

I challenge you all to look back on 2020, and try to find your own silver linings...let's focus on the good things this year has brought like extra time with our family, or good things that have happened with work/business.

Find the good!

This momma reached out to me to schedule a family session with their 3 month old rainbow baby, and what a joy it was! I absolutely loved working with them, we had so much fun and full of laughter, and seriously...those baby smiles!!!
