My passion for both photography and storytelling combined into one unforgettable session with the kindest family I've ever met. We didn't coordinate outfits, discuss color palettes, plan activities in advance, move towards the best light, set up perfectly posed shots. We just.... hung out. They did exactly what they would have done if I wasn't there - ate lunch, played in the backyard, talked, laughed, enjoyed each other's company. I documented, observed, captured their st

The sweetest summer mini ever with the sweetest sisters on the planet!

There is something so relaxed about a Fresh 48 session when it's baby number three. And the third boy! Baby Finn has two awesome big brothers with BIG personalities. They laughed (a lot!), snuggled and ate donuts. I can't think of a better way to spend my morning! I know I say this every time but I LOVE Fresh 48 sessions! Those emotional and intimate storytelling moments of families bonding with their new babies makes my heart melt. I wish I could photograph Fresh 48 se

Welcome to the world, Charleigh and Caden! It was such an honor to be invited into the hospital room while the sweetest parents celebrated the arrival of their healthy, beautiful twin babies. 48 hours new and these two were already making their personalities know. Caden's bright eyes were so alert and he was calm as could be. Charleigh was such a little cuddle bug, only happy when in mom or dad's arms. And these lucky babies have a big brother at home to look up to and le

Another amazing first birthday + cake smash session in the books. And this baby girl was such a little doll! We had to reschedule twice due to weather and illness but it was 100% worth the wait. How adorable is Sadie and the lamb with their matching hair bows?? Oh my goodness, this photograph of Sadie is an all-time favorite for me - from her perfect little hat, to her finger in the icing, the expression on her face and the eye contact with the camera. I adore this photogra

I've had the pleasuring of photographing beautiful baby Blake for her in-home lifestyle newborn session, 6 month family session and, most recently, to celebrate her first birthday. I love first birthday sessions for so many reasons but my favorite part is getting to design the scene. Mom wanted soft, sweet and 'girly'. I had a love/hate relationship with this tepee during the construction stage but in the end, I'm so happy with how it turned out. How perfect is the adorable

My two favorite types of sessions - first birthday and lifestyle - all wrapped up into one. And the cutest little peanut to top it off! They cuddled, laughed, read books and finished the day off with a cupcake to celebrate turning one. Just look at those pigtails and that dimple! All the tiny details that melt my heart - little fingers turning the page, arms squeezing her stuffed dog, pacifier always within reach. Happy birthday to the happiest baby girl! Her first taste of

What a MAGICAL way to spend your 4th birthday! Mom wanted to give her Tinkerbell-loving Lucy a very special photo shoot. I loved every minute of this session, from planning to prop making to shooting to getting to hang with the cutest Tinkerbell ever. I love telling a story through my photographs. Here is the story of little Lucy who dreamed of being Tinkerbell one day. Enjoy! Want to know the best part of the entire session?? Lucy truly BELIEVED we were in Pixie Hollow

Remember that awesome first birthday lifestyle shoot I blogged about waaaayyyyy back in the spring? Well here's part two. :) This is still one of my favorite sessions to date. Mom invited me into their home to document their weekend tradition of making breakfast as a family. It was her youngest child's first birthday. Through my lens, I captured plenty of laughter, chaos, tears, smiles, spills and love. 100% real moments. I know how much mom cherishes these photos. In

One of my favorite aspects of being a photographer is getting to know new families and watch their little ones grow. These adorable sisters have been in front of my lens numerous times and I can honestly say I love to photograph them. They are so full of energy, smiles, laughter .... they make my job easy! I was so excited when mom booked the Limited Edition Tea Party for these two angels. I knew they would have so much fun and I'd capture some beautiful moments. They did
