This is one of the sweetest lifestyle sessions that I have captured so far! I met Austin in photography class at Southeastern. I always thought she was so lovely and captured life beautifully. She had two little boys at the time, and I was yet to be a mother. Later on when I was expecting […]

“Summer was our best season. It was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape.” We come alive in the summer time.
