The Joy Before Me

The Joy Before Me motherhood, faith, photography My photography inspiration comes from my own three kids. [email protected]

Blogging about my passions...being a mom, faith in a Wonderful Joy Ahead, educating and advocating for my daughter with type 1 diabetes, and photography! They make me want to be a better person, a better mother, and a better photographer. No studio necessary...I take my photos outside or in well-lit indoor locations. If you're looking to update photos of your children or family, please contact me with questions about rates and availability.

All because two people fell in love!

The ground was so wet that it made squelchy sounds when we walked, and the sun was intense, and the wind made our hair horizontal, and it was an early morning. But these guys were so great, and we persisted, and look what we did! Beautiful memories of this precious family, frozen in time through photographs.

Who wants to go next? Gather the grandparents and the cousins and the aunties and uncles and let’s make some beautiful memories!

My bestie’s daughter turned 15 this month and she celebrated with her friends at a “Brunch & Bouquets” party. The girls all made their own gorgeous flower bouquets, and then we went outside for a little photo shoot. Super cute, right?

Spring and summer are full of parties and events. Let’s chat about how I can take photos off your plate for your next get together. You just enjoy the party, and I’ll make sure every moment and detail is captured for you!
