These amazing parents are my brother and sister in law and mannnn, do they have the cutest kids. Their happy place is in the Thousand Islands, right on the St. Lawrence River (I know to us NJ’-ers, “river rats” sounds like a bad thing… but it is actually really special to them!) They pretty much […]
A huge part of what makes this family so lovable is that they are so REAL. And the parents are the first ones to tell you what that reality looks like. It is loud. It is messy. It involves a lot of wrestling. But watching the way these boys’ eyes light up when they run […]
If you follow my blog posts, you may remember this little boy. He was in the NICU for awhile because he was born premature and when he came home, he was still on oxygen all day/night. I follow his mama on social media, so I knew that he had grown so much over the past […]
A friend from college referred this family to me and I am so. glad. she. did. They were the sweetest and I just loved their energy. The little girl is excited to be a big sister and meet “her baby.” She was also on a mission during the session— her own mission that involved a […]
I arrived at this location a bit before the family I was meeting because I hadn’t been there in awhile and I wanted to make sure it still looked the same as it did in my memories. Not much is more jarring than arriving at one of “my” locations that I haven’t been to in […]
When I send out my questionnaires to my clients, I ask if they have a particular vibe in mind for the session location. This mom said she wanted us to be in her parents’ backyard, which was a few acres surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected farmland. I was definitely intrigued! She sent me […]
The littlest guy in this family just wanted to run. He was hard to keep still so we had to be on the move for most of the session— which would have been fine (and still was!) but it was a warm evening aaaand mom was wearing heels. Everyone was good natured though and we […]
“I think it’s in my eyes” whispered mom at the end of the cake smash that concluded our session together. And yes, yes it was. But was it worth it?! Hopefully she says yes LOL. I feel like I am always saying, “This family is the best,” but it’s so true. I just have the […]
In December, I took this family to a beautiful garden for their maternity photos. Then in January, they welcomed their handsome little man and I took their newborn photos in their home. Fast forward to March, and I received an email from this mom that said, “Don’t think I’m crazy, but I would love to […]
It’s May, which means First Communion time for many families. This session was originally scheduled for the first weekend of May, which was before this little girl’s communion. But the weather had other plans for us. We had to reschedule a few more times but we still got the session in during May. Success! When […]
