They met in an unlikely way… in an unusual time in their lives… on the heels of unbelievable change and moments before unshakeable sorrow. But that’s what I love most about the stories that God likes to write. It’s not anything like the way we think the story should go. And the best love stories […]
Okay, you know I’m a sucker for an adoption story. This one is such a good one. I met this family at a garage sale we had last summer while trying to raise money for our own adoption, and I fell right in love with them and their story. They love Jesus and they love […]
ALL my kids love tractors for some reason. Dan’s school is undergoing some big construction and there are LOTS of tractors up there right now. I had this idea of bringing the kids up there to see them. I knew they would love it. I knew I would love shooting it. So the other week […]
I needed a 6-9 month old model to help me out with THIS Best of Basket…. and I needed one fast. Having not lived here in Texas all that long I didn’t know of anyone with that age little boy. Wait a minute… I knew of one family, and I really didn’t know them personally. […]

Having a baby and raising them definitely is a team effort. I’ve learned very quickly that it takes a village. I was so blessed to have been a part of the team that got a front row seat to the miracle of this sweet baby’s birthday. And it was amazing to see the “village” that […]
I don’t usually edit my photographs this way… but I was trying new things and when I saw the photos this way… I knew that’s how my mind’s eye was seeing it that day when I took them. Why hadn’t I tried editing this way before? Why hadn’t I seen that new tool in the […]
Well, I normally like saving these for fun random lists… but life is soooo random right now I thought it would be perfect! 1. Zoe is pretty much potty trained. She just started coming to me and letting me know when she had to go and wa-la! the girl is going most all the time. […]
1. I love these camera straps and these. They are so chic! Thinking about switching out my beloved neoprene strap… which is a must for long wedding days… but for everyday shooting. I want some cuteness!!! 2. If you have a SLR with an on camera flash. Run… don't walk to get one of these Lightscoop […]
First and foremost I want to wish my mother a wonderful Mothers Day! I’m so blessed to be your daughter. I’m so glad you opened up your life to me at a time when life would totally change for you by having a baby. I’m so glad you decided after a day of preschool that […]
I love shooting engagement sessions. They are so easy because you rarely have to pose them or try to create emotion…it's already there!! Young love is very photogenic. I had two awesome couples in the last week or so. Here are a few of my favorites! Blayne + Cari […]
….that's what I would call the past 8 months really. I'm coming to really love texas. I feel at home here. I do miss North Carolina but it's amazing how much a place can become home when your family is here. And they do say once a texan, always a texan. So maybe it's just […]
Well, He did it. He's a husband now. It was a beautiful wedding and we had so much fun shooting it and being a part of that day. Anna was an amazing calm bride and she had a great group of gals as her bridesmaids. Jere was a stellar handsome groom and he had a […]
While I don't think I'm doing the former as much as I should since we moved here. I have reconnected with several old friends. Tiffany is one of those friends. We figured it out that we met when we were both 14 at a conference in Indianapolis. Became pen pals (I'm so going to […]
I love all his little newborn baby parts. :o) Jack is such a good baby…… he Sleeps ALL THE TIME! which is great seeing as how he wasn't supposed to be born for another two weeks. He's eating okay but still needs to develop more in that area, we do a lot of coaxing for […]
Poiema Photography had a great year this year. When I was looking at our summer and throwing in moving halfway across the country, I was wondering how it would all happen. But week by week and wedding by wedding it came together and we were able to be a part of so many beautiful family […]
