N. Maternity | Camp Lejeune Maternity | Camp Lejeune, NC

When Gretchen came to me saying she wanted to do a couples session with me and that she wanted to do a fun styled type session to showcase their love for the outdoors I was 100% on board! I love making sessions personal to my clients. It helps them feel comfortable and themselves which always translates to more genuine smiles and actions!

Two years before I shot this beautiful momma-to-be's maternity photos I was photographing her and her fiance at their engagement session. No I didn't shoot a wedding and didn't tell you all but they really wanted engagement photos so she hired me. It is still one of my favorite couples sessions to this day and unfortunately I wasn't into blogging back then so I can't even link it back (*SIGH*). Flash forward to this past October when my sweet friend Jillian came over and we went down the road and got her some GORGEOUS maternity shots!!

Not to many people ask me to style a session for them. It kind of bums me out because I think customizing sessions to speak about you as a family, couple, what have you is not only fun but important. Having photos done isn't just about having PHOTOS DONE. It's about capturing the moment and who you are as a couple/family/person.

I'm usually choked up at homecomings. The build up to this homecoming was more than the homecoming itself. But it was a homecoming no less and it's always sweet to see families reunited!!

I've photographed my fair share of homecomings but nothing like this one. This was my first time experiencing a homecoming at an air station where the Marines flew in as we stood and watched! An emotional homecoming for sure as I sat and watched Momma and her little guy welcome home their Marine.

OOOOOH HOMECOMINGS!!!!!! Such an emotional time!! I have so missed capturing these special moments! Three years at Quantico was great but homecomings are pretty much non-existent there! This lovely family was my first homecoming here at Camp Lejeune and I am honored to have been there to capture it for them!

Ever have things go completely wrong, stress you out and drive you crazy only to have the end result turn out better than what you expected in the beginning?? Well that pretty much describes our move from VA to NC! All the craziness led us to meeting this incredible family and I'm glad the stars aligned so we could get to know them!
