It was a special time in the studio with this wonderful family. When I first heard from Taryn and PJ, the excited buzz in their voices was contagious, and I couldn’t wait to meet their first child. And just like Taryn and PJ, as soon as I laid eyes on their baby boy, Paul, I […]

In my sessions with families, I love to get to know them and what they value. So many families, if not all, value love, honesty, respect, and quality time spent together. Some will go further, valuing the practice of waiting patiently for things. This lovely family goes that extra distance, and has been waiting so […]

I love seeing so many different, loving families come through my studio. They come in all different shapes and sizes, and their excitement at their newborns or their quickly growing toddlers is something that I love to capture. I was blessed to meet Cory and Jenny, 21-month-old Ava, and their precious little man, Aiden. This […]

Baby's 1st year baby Milestone Sessions

Our babies grow up soo fast! Ever since the day that we hold them in our arms for the first time, the clock seems to move faster and faster with each passing day. What seems like just yesterday was really six months ago, and our helpless little bundle of joy is starting to learn to […]

Happiness looks good on Sandra and Andrew. This lovely couple recently welcomed their gorgeous little girl, Taylor, into the world, so it’s no wonder that they can’t help but smile! Sandra and Andrew’s love story started 9 years ago, when they met through mutual friends, and you can see that that love has only grown […]

Words can’t express how full of joy I was watching my dear friend Michal on her journey of motherhood. Thanks to this blog, you also were able to see her first maternity session with me, her first daughter as a newborn, and now her maternity and newborn sessions with her second daughter. I love looking […]

It’s not everyday that a photographer gets to take pictures of newborn twins! For me, it makes the entire session double the fun, because you get to capture double the joy on the faces of the parents, as well as design a unique shoot centered around both of the twins’ budding personalities. Mom and dad (Kim […]

I love to hear the story of how a couple met. Even after hearing hundreds of unique and beautiful stories, I never get tired of listening to the two of them retrace the steps of their love story. It’s amazing to think that, if one of those steps never happened, the two of them might […]

Conception is an amazing thing. Sometimes it can happen when you least expect it, and for others… you have to try for years and years, hoping and praying that this month is the month you’ll find out the news you’ve waited your whole life to hear. Callie and Mike are no strangers to the struggle […]
