Like many other little sisters, baby Callie is going to have both her father and big brother wrapped around her little finger. I was so proud to be invited back into the house of my friends to capture their newest addition. It’s an indication that I’m doing something right…and that’s all the affirmation I need. Thanks for putting your trust in me to capture your beautiful daughter’s portraits.

She’s a gem. Enjoy these images from our time together.

To love someone deeply gives you strength.

Being loved by someone deeply gives you courage.

~Lao Tzu

Tara and Matthew are full of life, humor, and fun. Their wedding was a reflection of that. As was the case with their engagement session, their wedding was nothing short of beautiful. I’ll let their images tell the story…

I’ve been to the other side of the world and back with the Cains, literally, and I’ve really enjoyed watching their relationship grow from their engagement…to their wedding…to Angie’s first pregnancy…to Foley’s 6 month milestone…and his first birthday…and now on to their second pregnancy. All the while, they’ve remained good friends, great clients, and wonderful parents to the kid who, arguably, has the most awesome hair I’ve ever seen.

Enjoy this new set of images from their most recent session!

Well, they’re back! Some of our best friends and faithful MBJPhoto customers allowed me to capture their even bigger family on their new and gorgeous property. Although quick, we were able to gather some really fun family portraits while visiting what may some day be called home.

Enjoy these few images for our short time together!

We can do no great things;

Only small things with great love.

~Mother Teresa

Lauren and Joel celebrated their union at the gorgeous Watercolor Resort along the majestic 30A coastal highway. Surrounded by family and friends, their wedding was beautiful, intimate, and sincere. Neither the bride nor groom allowed themselves to be caught up in the rigors and stress of their event which made for a smooth, relaxed, and joyous occasion. A testament to their friendly and warm demeanour, Lauren and Joel both welcomed me to be an integral part of their day and I was honored to be able to document it through compelling imagery.

To the new Overtons, thank you for allowing me to be a small part of your celebration!
