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 […]

This session was actually an evolved communion session, believe it or not! Mom reached out to me to set up a session for her daughter who will be making her first communion in May. She noted that for her older daughter’s communion photos (taken at the church), the family pictures were very stiff and awkward […]

This session was a 75th birthday present for the mother-in-law of my client, whose own family pictures I took this past fall. She and her sisters-in-law wanted to have photos of all of the grandchildren to give to their mother. We planned to do photos of the children in each individual family together, all of […]

This mom-to-be was very organized and booked her maternity and newborn sessions well in advance. We began planning the maternity session, most importantly— her DRESS, right away. Our thinking was to go bold (green or red) so that she would stand out against some (fingers crossed) potential snow. Never did I think I would be […]

Isn’t it funny how every year, despite knowing they are coming, the cooler temperatures take you by surprise? It becomes challenging with family sessions, too, because parents pick out such adorable outfits for their kids and hope that they don’t have to throw on jackets. These parents were prepared and brought a blanket to wrap […]

When I met up with this family, I asked if they wanted to walk. This location has a number of good photo spots but my favorite one involves a bit of a trek. They agreed to walk, so away we went! I was able to get to know the girls along the way (and hear […]

This was actually a reschedule date. TALK ABOUT LUCKY! We were a little nervous as we began our trek to the location where we would be taking photos and we saw an animal control van parked near the entrance. I still don’t know exactly why it was there but we did have a little bit […]

I squeezed this family into my ca-razy fall schedule because the mom is the sister in law of a friend/client who posted her family photos a month or so ago. I really try to honor my clients! Election Day session it was. I had met this mom before and she is a lot of fun […]

I went to college with one of the moms at this session and she had reached out to me pre-quarantine to set up a session so that she could gift her mom the perfect Mother’s Day gift— a photo of her grandchildren (ideally all looking at the camera at the same time, haha!). This was […]

The baby was crawling around…not the parents, to be clear 😛 The little guy at this session, clearly the apple of his parents’ eyes, was so happy for most of his pictures. This location can be a bit of a photographer hotspot. This Friday evening, luck was on our side and we had the place […]
