“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever…it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” -A. Siskind
Welcome to my little piece of the internet! I’m glad you’re here because I believe so strongly in making sure we capture all of the moments in our lives— from the ordinary to the extraordinary— so that our memories can live on forever. (And to make sure that mom finally gets in the picture!)
I know everyone is very busy so I work hard to make your photography session more than just picture taking. We explore, we laugh, we play. Each session is an experience. One you will consider a fond memory when you look back over your pictures for years to come.
I encourage you to take a look around and then drop me a line so we can start planning your session experience before any more times gets away! Now is the time. Life is special; capture it.

Traditional Newborn Sessions occur within the first 7-14 days after a baby is born. We capture sweet, snuggly poses as your new little one sleeps the time away. The newborn phase goes by so quickly; capture this time to record and preserve your baby’s first days.
“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.”
Fresh 48 sessions occur within the baby’s first two days of life. These are short, documentary-style sessions where we capture all the newness— it can be siblings meeting for the first time, grandparents snuggling their new pride and joy, or even just mom and dad counting fingers and toes proudly.
“Making the decision to have a baby is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” -E. Stone
Pregnancy is an amazing time when your body grows another human being. Each day brings new changes and a growing belly. Maternity sessions are typically done outdoors, with golden sunlight, to capture the beauty and awesomeness of this very special time.
“Family is not an important thing. It is everything.” -Michael J. Fox
My family sessions are more like a laid back play date. We laugh and talk, so I can get to know you and your babes. I want to capture y’all in your best light! During a family session, we’ll take some posed pictures, some candid pictures, and some pictures of the kids just being themselves. There’s no fake “cheeeese”-ing here.
“Children are one third of our population and all of our future.”
Children are probably my favorite subjects to photograph. They aren’t self conscious yet and they are so authentic. Smiles or no smiles, you can’t help but fall in love with their portraits.
You can book a session so we can focus on your child(ren) or we can do a family session so everyone can be included!
Lifestyle sessions are one of my favorite! We document your family in your element. It can be during a newborn session, a family session, or for a special occasion like baking with Grandma or reading with dad. Whatever the occasion, or even if it’s just because, I can guarantee that these moments captured will be treasured forever.
“Today you are you; that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you!” -Dr. Seuss
Congratulations! You’ve made it through the first year of your baby’s life! It’s a time to celebrate— and look back to see how much your little one has changed and grown. It’s pretty amazing if you think about all that’s happened over the last 365 days.
I offer two types of First Birthday Sessions—
—an outdoor session that includes family pictures and a smash cake
or
—an indoor session at my studio which includes a custom styled set for the birthday baby (and a smash cake, of course!)

Your little one is now grown and about to graduate from high school. Where has the time gone!? Let’s document this time before they leave home and head off into adulthood. A senior session includes two outdoor locations and up to three outfit changes. We capture a variety of poses and candid looks in beautiful, soft-lit spots. Parents are welcome to jump in a picture as well!
Whether you’re engaged and wanting to celebrate or you’re just a couple wanting some pictures of the two of you, let’s document this moment, this time, for you. My couples sessions occur outdoors during the golden-hour so we have beautiful sunlight to add warmth to your artistic photographs.
A wedding is an incredibly special day, not just for the bride and groom, but for the entire family. After everything is over, you only have a few things left— one of the most important (aside from each other, of course) is your photographs.
Choosing your photographer for your wedding day should be one of the most important decisions you make. Take the time to talk with various photographers, get to know their personality, look at their work. Make sure they’re the right fit to tell your story.
If you have an upcoming wedding, drop me a line and let’s chat to see if we’re a good fit!
A few times a year, I offer special, themed mini sessions— cotton field sessions, Santa sessions, Easter sessions. These are announced on my FB page so make sure you’re receiving notifications as there are only a limited number of spots for each one! (www.facebook.com/iephotographs if you need the link)

I have had the pleasure of photographing the absolutely amazing students of Magnolia Montessori School for the past several years. I also have photographed dance students from a local studio for several years— they sure do have some talent!
If you are a school, studio, teacher— anything!— and you’d like to talk about how I can capture the awesomeness of your program, get in touch and let’s connect!
These sessions are all about making a woman (or man for some dude-oir) feel incredible. We are all beautiful and amazing and perfect just how we are. Let’s focus on capturing your awesomeness in a comfortable and private environment.
Part of the name behind {i.e.creativity} is my graphic design work. I enjoy creating cards, birth announcements, logos, and artwork digitally.
If you have an idea in mind, let’s talk and see what we can create together!
