It was such a pleasure to work with this kind family. They drove an hour to do Valentine’s Day baby milestone session with their daughter Lucy. I figured that since they had invested so much time preparing and traveling for this shoot, we could kind of make it a 3-in-1 session: Christmas photos, Valentine’s Day…
I have a feeling that Makayla’s parents will pull these photos out often over the years to remember what it was like to be able to fit their daughter in the palms of their hands and feel the soft baby skin. That’s one of the greatest pleasures of being a photographer: I get to help families preserve those magical moments.
Check out the stunning colors of this late fall session! We wanted spectacular fall leaves, but we were at the last weekend of peak foliage. On a whim, I thought we’d try this pretty waterfall location. Even if the leaves were on their way out, the water gently cascading down the rocks would not disappoint….
Sometimes, even the best intentions don’t go as planned, which is especially true when it comes to little ones. For this shoot, Mom and Dad planned a fall photo session with me to capture Michael at 6 months of age. They had the outfits picked out, we settled on a location, we went over their…
This little blue-eyed beauty was quite the stoic…until we pulled out a wooden crate and an apple. At this session, I witnessed firsthand why people say that babies would rather play with the box than the toy. Even at just nine months old, baby Guilia knew right away how to flip the box over and…
Anytime I see a returning family’s name pop up in my messages or on my phone I get so excited! It’s like getting a call from a friend you haven’t seen in ages. You can’t wait to catch up, hear their voice, and find out what’s been going on in their life since you last…
This sleepy-eyed beauty looked like a delicate rose petal during her newborn shoot. Madison was born this past fall (hence the little pumpkin peeking out of her swaddling blanket), and Mom and Dad wanted to capture those first magical moments in the days following her birth. They loved the sweet, feminine set ups, which were…
I’m always surprised at how well kids (usually) handle the weather. For this family shoot, Mom, Dad, & I were so cold! We wiggled around and pulled our sweaters tight, but 16-month old Madelyn and her 3.5-year-old brother Nathan seemed unfazed. We didn’t get a ton of smiles, but they seemed so content and handled…
This was an extra fun and unique family shoot! I traveled to this gorgeous small family-owned horse farm to take some fall portraits. He is a farrier (shoes horses), and the entire family rides regularly. I was a little jealous of their amazing farm life—I think it would be amazing to take my horse out on…
Sometimes life doesn’t go quite the way we think it should. We make so many grand plans only to get stuck at roadblocks we didn’t even know existed. I know that family planning seems that way for many couples. Adoptions don’t go through, pregnancies don’t go the way we had hoped, or we go years…
Hello, Miss Veda. It was so nice to spend time with you and your parents during your newborn photography session. Veda’s mom got in touch with me a few months before she arrived because they wanted something extra special from their newborn photographer. Wonderfully colorful newborn photos and some fun photographs too! I do hope you…
Having just moved to town and then given birth to their third child, Nevin (he’s the tiny one in the middle), Mom and Dad were eager to find a newborn photographer that could work them in and capture this special time in their lives. However, lacking sleep and just wanting to take care of all…
Meet Daniel. He was one of those babies that just had me sighing “awwwwww” with each new picture that I created. His parents were so happy to do a newborn session with him, their second child. Due to complications with their daughter, they missed out on the chance to have newborn photographs taken with her….
This adorable little girl is Lyra (pronounced Ly-ruh). She is now a year old and had just learned to walk. Mom and Dad had me photograph her newborn session last year and wanted to get her 12 month milestone session photographed now that she has grown so much. She’s normally a happy baby who keeps them…
Meet little Dakshina. Mom and Dad contacted me in the summer to do their maternity photos. Back then, we played up the beautiful summer green that was surrounding us because green is mom’s favorite color. But now that their baby girl has arrived, and it is fall, they chose to have me create fall color…
This family has literally grown up before my eyes. I’ve photographed them twice a year for the past 3 years, and now their little boy Rory has turned 6 months old. It was just serendipity that his 6-month milestone session landed at the beginning of fall because it’s Mom’s favorite season every year. So we made…
Meet Elizabeth and Lilly. And God help me, I can’t tell who is who! But I can tell you that their mom is the sweetest lady on the planet. When she contacted me to create her identical twin girls newborn session, she knew exactly what she wanted and I couldn’t wait to make her vision come…
This is little Benjamin and his parents. We met several months back when Benjamin was just born and I photographed his newborn session (come back up and see how much he’s grown when you’ve finished reading this post.) But now that he has grown so much, we met up this summer evening to do a…
This is Summer, the third and completing member of this family. Her mom was looking for a newborn photographer in Connecticut a few weeks before she arrived and a good friend told her all about me. We hit it off and I knew her family would be a perfect fit for the video that you…
This little cherub is Miss Nora Rose. She was 18 days old when she came to visit me and to get her first photographs taken. Mom wanted to incorporate lots of roses in her session, paying homage to her middle name. I hope you enjoy the rose themed newborn photos I’ve created for this family….
