THIS FAMILY!!!!! These are just a few of my favorites from this family + first birthday session! I probably should have just shared the whole gallery because I just love them all so much! I’ve had the pleasure of taking a mommy and me session with Lucy when she was just a couple of months […]

I love maternity sessions in the studio. There is something about the simplicity that I’m drawn to. And I love the cream dress that Duncan picked out from my client closet. It was beautiful on her, as you can see. When Duncan reached out to me about doing maternity photos she wanted to bring her […]

So if you know me, you know that I’m always a year behind on blogging my sessions. So keeping with my MO, I’m here blogging on January 1, 2023 a session from January 3, 2023. Maybe I’ll get caught up one day!? I was so lucky this past year to be welcomed into so many […]

Hi everyone, meet my niece 🙂 I had the honor to photograph her maternity, birth, fresh48 and her newborn session. Now she’s 4 months old and coming to the studio soon for her 4 month photos! I can’t wait for you to see how big she’s gotten. If you’re thinking about doing photos for your […]

Every year around Mother’s Day, I hold special motherhood mini sessions, complimentary for all of my mommy’s from the past year.

So many firsts that happen, the first kicks, the flakey skin, the drool, the smiles, the […]

First you need to decide if you want a comfy cozy feel and do pjs (which I love for young kids and babies). Or go full on fancy Christmas clothing. TIP: Stay away from a lot of red. Red is a hard color to photograph and Santa will be in RED! We don’t want too […]

I know styling your family can be so stressful for your family session! But it really doesn’t have to be! I’ve come up with a few tips that will hopefully help! Think neutrals! The camera LOVES soft neutrals and it photographs so beautiful with my way of editing and with the fall sunlight. If you […]

How many times do I say that I love getting to watch families grow? Probably a million! I’ve been photographing this sweet family since big sister was a newborn. And I was still using my tiny 4th bedroom, which is now my office when we did her pictures! It’s been fun to watch her grow […]

I haven’t done at-home newborn sessions since the beginning of the year and I am missing them!! I have a couple on my schedule later on in the year and I cannot wait!! I’m adding them back for 2023!! At-home sessions just have a different feel. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my studio sessions […]
