{DeFreitas Family}

So fun being back in Oklahoma and being able to photograph my sorority “Big” sister and her family again! I’ve been able to watch these kiddos grow throughout the years and love seeing them excel in their musical talents and witness their hilarious personalities once again. JJ even played me a little tune while we were shooting! :) Always a fun time with these four!

Newman Family

Another beautiful family on another beautiful evening!

Lewis Family

This session has pretty much been the highlight of 2021 for me so far. I’ve been photographing the Lewis family for almost 8 years. When my family decided to move back to our home state of Oklahoma last summer they were just one of many families whom I knew I would miss terribly. Not only would I miss out on being able to continue to watch these precious boys grow up, I would miss seeing Gary and Kristen once or twice a year as well. But then, I got an email! The Lewis family was coming to Oklahoma to visit family here and asked if I would be up for a session while they were here! Of course my heart exploded with excitement to be able to see them all again and we set a date! And this time I got to meet the grandparents from Gary’s side as well which was such a treat! As a photographer one of the biggest compliments you can get is having your clients come back to you again and again, year after year. The Lewis family has entrusted me with their memories for so many years and I’ll be forever grateful! From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Kristen and Gary, for allowing me to be a part of your story even from over 650 miles away! ;) Xoxo!

{Motherhood Session} The Gilmartin Girls

Despite the weather not exactly cooperating for us (that’s Oklahoma, right? ;) ) I still had SO much FUN meeting and photographing the beautiful Gilmartin Girls. If you don’t already follow Lexie and her family on Instagram, http://www.instagram.com/thegilmartingirls, you need to head on over and check them out! She’s always doing fun things with her girls, going to new places, and sharing the daily ins and outs of their adorable family with the world. Such a fun page to follow!

I have a special place in my heart for capturing images of Mamas with their kids. So many times Moms are behind the camera taking photos of their kids and are hardly ever IN the photos WITH them! And I’m guilty of that too! When your kids are older they’re going to want to see YOU in these memories with them. When you’re gone someday those photos will mean even MORE to them! Step out from behind that phone and let me give you moments like the ones below. Trust me. You’ll be glad you did.

I could hardly stand the cuteness with Lily! Oh my goodness, what a real life baby doll she was!
