I just cannot say enough about this couple. Ashley and Jake are two of my favorite people! I first met them when I photographed their daughter, Lyra, as a newborn. I then got to see them again when Lyra turned a year old. They are just so fun and loving. They are a joy to…
Alexander was a month old when he came in for his newborn photography session. He was struggling with some issues for the first few weeks, so we waited to do his session until he felt a little better. The poor boy was so fussy the entire session; he had wind so badly that he would…
What a gloriously sunny day for this fun one-year-old TWIN session at Elizabeth Park. A year ago, Mom and Dad were in for a big surprise with their beautiful identical twin girls (click here to check out their newborn session). Once again, I can’t believe how fast these twelve months have gone by – every time a…
Adorable Newborn Composite Session Lilianne’s parents are the kindest couple! Lilianne is the first child for them as a couple, but Lilianne’s mother has four other children all in their teens. They wanted to be surprised by the gender of their baby, and they were thrilled to have a baby girl. Both of Lilianne’s parents…

I first photographed Guilia during a newborn photo session a mere 19 months ago. She was wrapped in all things feminine and laid in a bed of beautiful flowers. Like most newborn photos, Guilia slept through most of it, creating even more of a peaceful aura. Fast forward 9 months, and I got to photograph…
Pregnancy is such a unique season in a woman’s life. No two women experience the same pregnancy. And no woman experiences the same pregnancy twice. I was able to capture this gorgeous momma who was experiencing so much newness all at once. Not only are Lauren and Jon expecting their first child, but they are…
Family Photos and Cake Smash in the Grass Another one of my newborn babies! They’re all growing up so fast. I remember Connor as a tiny sleepy bundle of joy, and now it’s already time for his one-year cake smash session! Since the weather has been so nice lately (at least in the morning and evening), they…
When you know that cake is coming, it’s pretty hard to be patient through a photoshoot. Sweet little Greyson was a few months over a year old when we did his session. As the saying goes, the days are long, but the years are so very short when it comes to little ones. Before Greyson’s…
Too often as moms we exclude ourselves from the big moments. We are always on it when it comes to photographing our baby’s first steps, birthdays, and milestones – even just daily life – but we’re rarely in those photos. How many photos of playing kids do you have on your phone – with yourself…
Having recurring clients (who have become real friends) is a family photographer’s dream. Being able to watch families grow through births, first steps, toddler stages, and more is such a joy and an honor. I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to meet new families who are venturing through parenthood and life…
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…
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…
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…
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…
