She was ready to get married! The courthouse was running a little late (the ceremony was supposed to start at 1pm) and when we found […]

Well, this was a magical night! How many times do I say that? Probably a lot. If you are tired of me saying “light” and “magic,” you should probably unfollow me haha. Side note: Check in on your photographer friends. It is caaaraaaazy busy season and we are existing on coffee and ibuprofen. Back to […]

My client set up this session for her parents’ 50th anniversary year. She wanted photos of the whole family and photos of her parents with their grandkids. As we were a few days away and the weather forecast for the weekend was not looking great, I knew we had to make this session happen. Coming […]

When this family rolled up and I saw the 6 month old girl’s outfit, I was sold. It’s funny, they actually were a little late because their gps had taken them to the wrong place so we ended up taking pictures in a new spot for me. Usually I head one way at this particular […]

This mom reached out to me recently, knowing I was probably booked for the season, but to let her know if I had any available time slots turn up since she couldn’t make it to my holiday mini sessions (which are also now sold out, ahh!) She kept seeing all of my posts popping up […]

I was excited to photograph this family again, one year after I did a newborn session for their little girl. I remembered them being a fun family and it is always special for me to see how much the kids in “my (clients’) families” have grown. It was a beautiful night (slightly cooler than the […]

Being a photographer has made me a better mom and being a mom has made me a better photographer. There, I said it. As I sat down to write this blog, I started singing “The Itsy Bitsy Spider,” and remembered that during this session, that was the song that the little girl loved. I’m sure […]
