I have been where you are right now. Dakota (aka Cody) gave me his last name on August 15th, 2015. I trembled as I walked down the aisle to the man that I trust to hold me close and protect my heart. It's funny because my dad was as nervous as I was coming down that aisle but he got me there. As I write this, I am reminded of how my dad sobbed at our first dance and how that was only the third time I can remember ever seeing my dad cry. Those memories are priceless and I am so grateful that I can revisit them. 
So... I understand what is at stake here and how you must be feeling as you search for the photographer who you trust to preserve these fleeting moments.

As a wife and mom of three, I have super fans who push me the whole way: My oldest son, Grayson, and my husband, Cody. Grayson even had to have his own camera because he loves taking pictures just like mommy. One day, mommy will teach him everything she knows. For now, Eli and Memphis (my two youngest babies) just sort of hang out with us. Oh yeah, and Eli likes to flip things.

What can I say? These little ones of mine absolutely melt my heart. Grayson is helpful and kind like his daddy. He is just the right amount of stubborn (we can't agree on where that comes from). Eli is a cuddler and doesn't like for things to be where they go. Memphis is chunky and working on getting them rolls around! He is currently trying to figure out how to crawl. 

My little Ones

Sometimes you just need a pick-me-up, a mood changer, or a good snack... chocolate is all of those things. For as long as I can remember I have been a chocolate lover, and that is one thing that Grayson definitely took after his momma on. 

Anything Chocolate

The Barton Family first home was something special. It was the home where we decorated our first nursery, spent our newly-wed time together, brought home our first baby, had great neighbors, and enjoyed so many precious memories together. We may move on to the next home, but this one was our first. 

Our old home

This may sound so cliche, but I am so blessed to call this family mine. I have a husband (Cody) who loves me and can't tell me no, and who works so very hard to take care of his family. Then there is our babies who have my heart. I get to be so many things for these little ones, but my favorite thing is booboo kisser. Mommy has the magic cure for booboos. 

My little family

There are so many great things about vacations. Exploring new places is amazing, plus with the wonder in my child's eyes it's that much better. Time together just making memories. Relaxation and no stress?! Nope, not really. Vacations with this bunch is wild, but worth it!

Vacations

Faith is priceless. It is my shining possession. Without faith I would not be here. Being close to God can pull you through any battle. Being a Christian means knowing that no matter the outcome you will be well cared for. I have only learned this lesson more as I have grown. Faith. Is. Priceless.

It all began with a smile.

A short while into my photography journey I helped another photographer by 2nd shooting a wedding for them. This was my first time behind the camera at a wedding. When the moment came and the couple saw each other for the first time, there was something ignited in me. 

I had loved creating images for a while, but it was this moment of intimacy beautifully captured that convinced me that I was right where I belonged, and so it began. Capturing this epic tale for couples to cherish is an honor.

Now as a hybrid photographer (offering photo and video coverage), I am able to capture those cherished moments for couples in still and moving images!
