I've
always been
storyteller.

But I never set out to be a photographer. I was (and still am!) going to be a writer. And then as I worked toward that writing goal, someone put a camera in my hand and asked me to try telling stories with something besides words. So with an English nerd's love for character and tone, a romantic's love for poignant beauty, and a realist's love for imperfection, I dove in.

I've
always been a
story-teller.

That was back in 2010.

Since that time, photography has changed much of my life. It's brought me some of my dearest friends. It's reshaped the way my husband Danny and I view serving others. It has even literally taken me around the world. One thing that hasn't changed: my soul-stirring desire to tell stories that feel so real you're sure you knew them before you heard them. Or saw them. It's my privilege to tell those stories for my clients, and for the generations of their families still to come.

Waiting for Baby Ethan | Ormond Beach Maternity Portraits

Friday, August 29th, 2014

Ever since Danny and I have been doing photography, I’ve told Karlyn that I wanted to do a shoot with her family. She has agreed, but the timing never quite worked out. Well, unless you count that one evening last year when I was visiting them in Sarasota and the sunset was so beautiful that I had to pull Karlyn and her girls outside for a quick shot or two on their driveway. (I don’t count that.)

But this past week, with baby #3 due in just a couple short months, we set aside a window of time when we could finally shoot, out at our old stable.Daytona Beach lifestyle family photographyOf course, hilarity ensued. It’s to be expected with kids. Especially these two.Daytona Beach Florida photographerOrmond Beach photographerLifestyle maternity photography Daytona BeachDaytona Beach maternity portraitsLove this.Daytona Beach Florida lifestyle family photographymaternity photography Daytona Beach FloridaKarlyn, you look amazing — all the time, but especially when you have so many wonderful reasons to be so incredibly happy.Maternity portraits Daytona Beachlifestyle family photographer Daytona BeachFamily lifestyle photography Daytona BeachLifestyle photography Daytona BeachDaytona Beach Florida maternity photographyOrmond Beach family photography
