And just like that, my dreams have come true. Ada is going to have a little sister! We’re going to be raising TWO daughters! My heart couldn’t be any happier than it is right now!

The Dunlap family is proud to announce that we have another member joining our family! Baby number two is due June 11th, and we could not be more excited. Especially big sister Ada.

I used to be one of those people. You know, the kind that judge all those moms out there on social media for posting 424,312 photos of their child’s first day of school. Why was it such a big deal, I wondered? No one cares, I thought! I’ll never be one of those moms, I […]

Today is our sweet little girl’s 2nd birthday!!!! These last two years have been nothing but amazing with her. She made us a family. She completed our little world.

She’s been rocking it during her training, grasping the concepts of proper exposure and light so quickly! I’ve been seriously impressed with her practice photos! She’s already […]

Sometimes this crazy profession bring us the best new friendships, and this is definitely one of them. Three and a half years ago, thanks to a referral from our friends over at Twenty One Films, we got an email from this couple. One thing led to another and suddenly we were their wedding photographers! At the time […]

Oh how I love this little girl. We had no idea how much we needed her in our life until she arrived. Even while I was pregnant, we still didn’t get it. But, as every mom will tell you, the moment they laid her on my chest, it was all over. Our heart was hers. Even on […]

Remember the best friend from the newborn post two weeks again? This is her! Two years ago, I got to photograph this sweet family’s firstborn in his gorgeous all white nursery. To this day, it’s still one of my most viewed posts!! It’s hard to resist the fresh and clean look of an all white […]
