the Brubakers

The Brubakers are the best! I met Megan when she was only two years old. A few years later, Casey was born. I babysat them all throughout my college years whenever I got the chance. I love being around them. They are the sweetest two kids that I have ever met and I've been truly blessed to have been apart of their lives. Their parents are so wonderful and I'm thankful to know them. They have been so encouraging throughout the years and I was thrilled to be a part of photographing them. We went to Tennessee this past weekend where I was able to capture some precious moments. Thank you for letting me be a part of your trip! I love ya'll!

Alexandra

Wow. Alex is absolutely a beautiful person inside and out! She is like my little sister. I couldn't have picked a better girl to be dating my baby brother. Her pictures turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL. She is so easy to work with and is open to trying anything which is great. We had such a blast at this photo shoot with the horses, and in all of the shots that we took. Alex, you're the best and I love you so much! You did fabulous! 

Hannah

Hannah is precious. Her mom, Cassy, and I have been friends since high school. We met through Westside Baptist Church on a bus going to Centrifuge in Florida. Cassy and I did everything together and were best friends. We've remained friends over the years and I'm so thankful that I have Cassy in my life. In June, 2007 little Hannah was born and she is the cutest little girl. I was so happy to take pictures of Hannah. She is a bundle of joy to be around! I love you guys! 

Ally

Ally Meek is one of my best friends in the entire world. Ally and I met working at Kanakuk Kamp in Lampe, Missouri 3 summers ago. After only a week of working together, we instantly became friends and have been inseparable ever since. Ally came to visit me this past summer and I was able to take some really great pictures of her. I think she's going to be America's next top model =). She brought tons of sass and personality to all of her pictures and did a fabulous job! I love you Ally! 

Chelsea

Chelsea is such a sweet girl. It was so much fun going out to Furman University for this photo shoot. Chelsea is a sophmore in college majoring in theatre arts and business. She is so natural in front of the camera and looks great in all of her pictures. I've known her since high school and she has grown into such a beautiful young lady! Thanks for spending the afternoon with me Chelsea! 

Little Laila

Laila is quite possibly the most adorable little girl I've ever met. Laila was one of the flower girls in Rachel and Jordan's wedding. Laila is from Lynchburg, Va and rode all the way up to Ohio with two of the bridesmaids just to be apart of Rachel and Jordan's big day. Laila has such a sweet spirit and is always a joy to be around. She is constantly putting a smile on everyones face. She loves the camera and is always wanting to get her picture made. And of course, she always asks to see the pictures of herself the moment that you take them. She looked so beautiful walking down that isle at the wedding! Miss you Laila! 

Rachel, Rachel, Rachel...

I love Rachel! Rachel and I met freshman year at Liberty University. The guys we were dating (who Rachel is now married to) =) and who I am currently dating =), played on the hockey team together. Rachel and I instantly became friends. Spending all of our weekends at games were always fun, and over the years we became really close. Jordan and Rachel were just married this past weekend in Xenia, Ohio and are now on their honeymoon in Mexico! I had the privilege of being in their wedding as a bridesmaid and also designed their wedding programs (which I was thrilled to do)! It was a great weekend filled with fun memories and happy tears. The day before the wedding, I took some pictures of Rachel at the church where she was getting married in her beautiful dress. She was a beautiful bride! I love you Rachel! 

Brad & Alex

Brad and Alex were so much fun to work with! First off, Brad is my little brother which made it even more fun. He and Alex have been together since 8th grade so Alex is like my little sister. The two of them have meant so much to me over the years and I'm so thankful that we have been able to stay so close. They took time away from their busy, college schedules at University of South Carolina Upstate and came home to be photographed. The two of them just have a chemistry that fills every picture with emotion and love. I love ya'll so much! 

 

getting started

I have just graduated from Liberty University and I am beginning the next chapter of my life. Anyone that I grew up with can vouch that I've grown up with a camera in my face my whole life. Somewhere along the way, I fell in love with taking pictures! 

God has really been showing me these days that you just have to relax and know that He is in control. God has given me a passion and a desire for photography and design, so I know that whether it is a bumpy road or a straight road that lies ahead, it is all apart of God's will and He has a plan!
