This little girl has THE BEST farm to grow up on EVER and in the prettiest farm house! I am a little jealous to be honest, ok a LOT jealous. Their property is just gorgeous!. Driving up through their tree lined driveway and passing the pond with all the cows, I was just in heaven. […]

I’ve been photographing this family for a couple of years now. From maternity (with big sister), newborn, family, Santa, Mommy and Me, and now back around to newborn and one year! I can hardly believe that sweet baby sister has turned one! And like my true self, never got around to blogging her newborn session. […]

Sweet Elle and her precious family were such a joy to photograph! We started with family pictures and it went so smoothly. You never know how siblings are going to do. Sometimes they are totally in to it, and sometimes they aren’t so much. But big brother did such a wonderful job and was so […]

Wondering what a typical family session looks like? Well, a lot like these. Some posed, some not, lots of smiles and running around. Do kids always cooperate? Absolutely not! Do we still get some great photos with some great memories! Absolutely yes!! These were taken this past fall in my secret spot that I found […]

I have know this sweet mom for a long time. Her sister actually came for her son’s newborn photos when I was just starting this little business. Then it was her turn, we did maternity pictures when she was pregnant with her first, had a simple newborn session with her daughter, Elin, and now their […]

Happy Birthday to Callan! This was my first time getting to do a session with this family! They chose to do Callan’s one year session in the studio. I love using the studio for One Year sessions, especially during the transition from winter to spring. You never know what kind of weather you’re going to […]

There have been so many requests for the sweet, timeless and traditional portraits. And I’ve been saying “no, I don’t do those” for too long. I was worried that my “natural light” style wouldn’t fit in with the “studio lighting” that many photographers use for these types of portraits. I recently held my stock the […]

I just LOVE these sessions! They are so fun! 6 months is such a sweet age and the ROLLS!!! GAHH, I just love it! I HIGHLY encourage all my moms to be in the milestone sessions, because they always make for the sweetest photos that will be cherished for many, many years. And it’s so […]

As most of you know, I offer a client wardrobe for any of my sessions. It’s just one way to help with the stress of getting photos taken. So many people have LOVED that I offer this! Dresses for mom, outfits for kiddos, and few items for dad too that I know will photograph well […]

I don’t know how many sessions we have done together but, this beautiful family is definitely close to winning the award for my most photographed family! I started with big sister when she was 3 months old and now she is the proud big sister to sweet Teddy and I have photographed every sweet milestone […]
