One of my favorite things is getting to photograph families not once, but multiple times, as they grow and evolve into legacies….

A new little fresh baby around the holidays the ultimate Christmas gift. Coming from a religious background, newborn babies around that time of year pull at my heartstrings in a special kind of way.

When I got to their home, the top half of the tree had lights, and the bottom half was bare. It was a happy reminder of reality, the chaos, and the re-prioritized joy that a new life brings.

Is there even anything better than a baby at Christmas?

I can’t describe how sweet this mother-son and family session was. Her little one was just 4.5 months old and OH MY HEART. So precious.  It’s so so so important to get beautiful photos done of little (or big!) ones… they grow up so fast… so hold them on your lap while you work, don’t […]

 Finally, I have a working space out of my home that I can use for studio work! Naturally, I wanted to test out the space, so I grabbed this little creampuff heartthrob for a few shots
