Continued from Part One… The cervical exam had happened at 4:30pm and after my contractions continued to intensify, the High Risk Pregnancy team decided to move me down to labor and delivery at 6:30pm. The contractions were coming every 4 minutes and getting progressively more painful. I knew I wanted an epidural and my nurse […]

We are so excited to announce that our baby boy is here! James Patrick Marlow was born on December 18th, 2022 at 10:53pm weighing 5lb and 1oz and 19 inches long. We are so overjoyed to have him here safe and earth side with us! Today I’d like to share his birth story. And just […]

It feels like yesterday we were taking our maternity portraits for Olivia on a hot Charleston summer afternoon and here we are just 16 months later on one of the coldest November days we’ve had in awhile taking maternity portraits again for baby James! And these were extra special because they were captured by my […]

Lauren and Kyle may look familiar because this my fourth time photographing them! (You can see their engagement session, wedding, and family photos at the links here.) So it was SUCH an honor to photograph their family after they’ve recently welcomed their sweet baby girl, Blair Dorothy, in September. So thankful for these clients turned […]

I’m almost 26 weeks pregnant with our second baby, James Patrick Marlow! Sweet baby James’ name is so special to us because it’s a family name from both sides of our family. I also loved that we included Patrick as the middle name as a way to honor Patrick without making him a Jr. We’ve […]

My dear friend Julia and her husband are expecting TWIN girls!!!! We met through Yoga Teacher Training in the fall of 2020 and we had many happy hours where we talked about how fun being it would be to be pregnant at the same time one day. Well fast forward to earlier this summer when […]

Over a year into this whole motherhood journey and the #1 question I get asked by moms is: what are your MUST HAVE baby products? So I rounded up everything we used and loved for Olivia’s first year. My biggest piece of advice when crafting a registry is to think beyond the first few months! […]

There was a time in my life (pre-baby, of course) that I was dead set on blogging my work once a week. Well here we are at the end of July and it’s been 2.5 months since I’ve blogged a session… that’s mom life for ya! But when I had the opportunity to shoot my […]

It feels surreal even typing this but Patrick and I are over the moon to announce that we’re pregnant (again!) with baby #2! We found out on May 19th (the day before our 5 year wedding anniversary… it was the best gift!) and we couldn’t be happier! We’ve gotten tons of questions about this baby/pregnancy […]

Alright it’s official, family sessions have my heart!! I never thought I would say that after saying I was just a wedding photographer for so many years, but having a baby of my own now makes capturing families in a similar season of life so so special. Anna and Ian moved into our neighborhood in […]
