Family Session :: Nolan at 3 Months


Nolan is getting bigger since the last time I saw him! He's put on some adorable weight, smiles, holds his head up and loves to look at his mom and dad. This is one seriously cute, well-behaved baby!

Why "Red Shoes" Photography?



Since I started this venture, people have asked me, why "Red Shoes"? "What is with the name?" "How did you come up with that?" Well, red shoes just make me happy.

I always say, if you wear red shoes, you can't have a bad day!

They make me feel prettier, and more confident in everyday life. That is the way I want my clients to feel. Like they are wearing red shoes.

If you don't have a pair of red shoes, I suggest getting a pair. They will change your life. And please send me a photo of you wearing them!

Amy and Justin - Engaged!

Justin approached me a few weeks ago to do an engagement session with him and his girlfriend Amy. The catch? He'd also be proposing! to Amy during the shoot. So, armed with a zoom lens and hiding behind the columns of the Arboretum, I snapped some shots of their sweet picnic of Chinese take out and then the moment when he got down on one knee and presented Amy with a stunning ring. We then had a lot of fun taking some darling photos as Justin recounted the tales of all that had led up to this moment. So fun!

Rehearsal Dinner: Natalie and Andrew


When Natalie asked me to come and photograph their rehearsal dinner, I was so excited! It was at the historic Army Navy Club downtown and is filled with old military memorabilia. I loved capturing the family gathering from the north and the south (she's from New York and he's from Tennessee). Their meal was super southern, complete with shrimp and grits and fried chicken! The best part of the night by far was hearing the stories from their friends and family - it made you appreciate what a special couple this is! Congratulations you two!
