Matt, Kim & Baby Abbott | Newborn.

This weekend, I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Mr. Abbott Scott for the first time. I was lucky enough to photograph his mommy, Kim's, maternity session back in November and had the greatest time. The Scott home is full of love, laughter and light - an absolutely beautiful environment to bring an even more beautiful baby boy into. 

Before I show you all these adorable (I mean, adorable) photographs, I just want to send a special thank you to the Scott family. For allowing me into their home and letting me capture one of life's greatest moments. I appreciate and adore you three more than words could say and I can't wait to watch you grow over the years to come. 

So, here's to you, Mr. Abbott James Scott! 
Welcome to the world, sweet boy!

Stephanie | Boudoir.


"Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. 
For love is the beauty of the soul."
- Saint Augustine

Being a photographer, I get to capture the beauty of all of my clients - whether that be in my families, couples, babies, graduates, pets or individuals. One of the my greatest joys is being able to see the reaction on my client's face when they finally get to see their portraits. 

For a while now, I have been wanting to capture the beauty of the women that I know through boudoir photography. I wanted to capture them comfortable and beautiful in their homes - within the walls that they feel the most safe and loved. I was nervous to even bring up the idea of a session like this to any of my friends, not knowing what their reaction would be. That's when I thought of Stephanie. She has to be the sweetest, most generous, funny girl that I have ever had the pleasure to meet - not to mention that she is totally drop-dead gorgeous! 

You might remember Stephanie from her couple's session with her husband, Bobby, before he went off to boot camp last year!


When I asked her if she would be interested in doing a session with me and using it as a welcome home present for Bobby, she didn't even hesitate. And I cannot thank her enough for that! She was so welcoming and we had so much fun during her shoot - just imagining Bobby's reaction to her photos once he opened that little black album! Bobby was so kind and is letting me share some of her photos with all of you. 

Here is just a little sneak peek of Stephanie's gorgeous session!
