and it was a hot one! We started in the late afternoon so as to not interfere with dinner and bedtime. The clouds rolled in and a slight breeze picked up making the heat much more bearable. One year old William made us work hard for some smiles. And, big sister, Ellie, was nothing short […]

It was such a pleasure photographing adorable Riley and celebrating her 1st birthday. It was a hot, humid evening but she and her parents didn’t let that stop them from having fun and getting those perfect shots to capture Riley’s sweet personality and charm. Happy birthday to her mom, Jade, too who celebrated the day […]

As I was driving to meet Hamilton, I was thinking how it seemed like just a few days prior we had photographed his parents for their maternity session. I got a bit emotional as I thought how quickly time goes by…how it seemed like just yesterday I was holding my own sweet baby boy and […]

After an entire day of rain, Anna decided to take a chance and move forward with our scheduled maternity session. I am sure glad we did! The weather was the perfect temperature and the sky was gorgeous.The sun even came out towards the end and gave us some beautiful, warm light. I’m so excited for […]

It just doesn’t get any better than 1st birthday family sessions! I had so much fun photographing this little guy and his parents. I think their first session as a family of three turned out perfectly. Happy 1st birthday, August!

Happy 1st Birthday, Beau! I don’t know how it’s possible for this little guy to have gotten even more adorable since we shot his newborn session, but he did! (I included an image from that session. I just love looking back!)

May you touch fireflies and stars, dance with fairies, and talk to the man in the moon. May you grow up with love and gracious hearts and people who care. Welcome to the world, little one. It’s been waiting for you. ~ Unknown

These sweet girls were born two days apart in the middle of the COVID pandemic. So, of course, they needed a double 1st birthday session to document the year! Their parents, big brother/cousin Easton and grandma Lauri all joined in and got in front of the camera to celebrate. Happy 1st birthdays, Palmer and Cameron!

It’s been a year since I last had this family in front of my camera and so much has changed! Sweet Elliet is no longer a toddler, Knox definitely not a newborn and they will be adding another beautiful babe in two short months. Doesn’t this mama look amazing?! At the start of our session, […]

Finally….I got to meet little Zoey Belle! And, she was just as sweet as I expected. Her big brother, William, (whom I’ve photographed since he was in his mama’s belly) kept things fun…no sitting still in this session. I used all the tricks to keep him interested in my camera. But, that’s what I love….so […]
