Preview - Leaha's Maternity Photographs

It's been awhile since I've photographed a maternity session. It's always an exciting time when a baby is on the way! I knew Leaha growing up, so being able to capture this next step in her life is all the more thrilling.

Here's a preview of what we photographed:

Thank you, Leaha, for allowing me to be such a part of this special time. I'm very excited to meet your baby boy!!

Preview - Aaron & Miranda Engagement Photos

I had a lot of fun working with Miranda & Aaron to help them capture their budding romance as they begin their journey down their path of life together.
I've been fortunate enough to know the both of them prior to this photo shoot and was very honored that they asked me to capture these special moments.

Here's a preview of what we photographed:

Thanks, Miranda and Aaron, for letting me be part of such an awesome milestone!
