There was serious Nebraska beauty the night the Andersens hung out with me for photos on their acreage. Great people, big skies, chickens…it was heaven! Christina and Charles are raising three lovely kids. Owen, Caitlin and Kayliana are nothing short of charming. Hands down, the best part of my job is gaining so many new […]
The blog has never looked so happy as it does today with this crew. Dear friends, if any of you believes you can rival Ryan’s raised eyebrow in terms of awesomeness, please direct yourself to my contact form, and let’s get that business documented for posterity! In all seriousness – bring me your family’s quirks, […]
This family just may actually be part sunshine. Sammi and Steven and their adorable children filled my day with it, at least! We had an intimate, chill family session at their home, and I got to catch a sweet glimpse of life with the Kaisers. Will. His crinkle-nose, tooth-baring smile is to die for. His […]
I enjoyed the most laid-back, natural family session with these four. Erick and Tracy have the SWEETEST little boys. Christopher and Collin were so fun to photograph, and they have such a cute, budding friendship that’s going to last forever. I can feel it! Christopher must have doubled in height since I last saw him. […]
It has been an absolute blast photographing these two brothers throughout the first year of Kayden’s life. They are so sweet and kind, and have energy brimming up to their eyeballs. Each session has been a highlight! Head back to see Kayden’s dreamy newborn session and how much fun they were stirring up after six […]
Prepare your hearts! There is so much tenderness, genuine happiness and grace being exchanged between the three members of this family, and it’s a mighty thing to witness. Elizabeth and Will welcomed their daughter Eleanora a few weeks ago. She is so magical! This girlie is a top notch snoozer. She just snuggled away with […]
Welcome back to the blog, Erika, Stefan and Sophia! Six months with a new baby takes no time at all. Sophia has morphed into a busy, playful, smiley girl, but hasn’t lost an ounce of sweetness. I love that she is nearly a 50/50 blend of her parents’ looks. She unmistakably belongs to them! The […]
I will admit to being a chronic power user of the word “favorite,” but it should be made clear that the people in the photos below are *actually* two of my FAVORITES ever. They’re my parents!!! I’m so grateful for them! They made my day by asking for a session of just the two of […]
Hey, hey, the McElravys are back! These three are patiently waiting for the arrival of their new family member! He is super loved already, and it’s clear he will be welcomed with so much excitement and affection. While it’s rather hard for me to believe that Harriet is already three, going on four, she made […]
Will and Elizabeth are the epitome of happiness. They are so dang cute, and they can’t help but smiling over just about everything. Do you remember their GORGEOUS – and chilly! – wedding? It’s impossible not to love them, so I was ecstatic when Liz emailed to tell me they were expecting. One set of […]
What a joy to spend a morning getting to know Evelyn and her wonderful parents! I fell for her hard and fast. She is a squishy bundle of tiny, sleepy perfection. She even did my favorite baby pose! Rhett and Jolene are the kind of people who make you feel so comfortable right off the […]
In June of 2019, I was with Seth and Elizabeth, photographing their amazing wedding. And here they are again, plus one! I’m so excited to introduce you all to their lovely daughter Clare!! This sweet pea is so wonderfully perfect. Her wild hair, intrigued gaze and tiny features are almost too much. Seth and Elizabeth […]
Everybody’s just so happy at the Olson home. Theo has arrived! It’s one of my favorite things to witness new parents doing their thing. Katie and Max have stepped into the roles beautifully, of course. Theo is in for a lifetime of being loved on by these two. Let’s revisit this one in a few […]
Oh goodness, this fun fun fun family is about to get even better! Baby Olson is on the way – is it February yet?? Katie and Max have these vivid, magnetic personalities that perfectly complement each other. What a duo! They already have some parenting experience with their cute pup Charlie. She is crazy-loved, so […]
I absolutely love getting together with this crew. They are so full of life, always joking with one another and the kids are total straight-shooters (inspiring laughter from dad and head shaking from mom). I always leave smiling and full of energy. They’re awesome. Remember Calvin? Remember how cute and adorable and little he was […]
It’s New Year’s Eve, friends, and it’s got me reflecting on all I have to be grateful for in the past year. Sharing this fun family with their sweet new addition is the perfect way to end another year of blogging. đŸ™‚ I’m so happy baby Rosalie has arrived, adding just one more thing to […]
The adjustment to a new normal of having your first baby around can be described with plenty of adjectives, but the one I think pairs best with each one of them is “grateful”. You’re enamored + grateful; changed + grateful; exhausted + grateful. I can see gratitude all over AJ and Maddy when they look […]
Say hello to little baby Hadley! Every newborn session feels special and sacred right now. All masked up and sanitized and distanced and not touching anything, I actually go into people’s houses – something that’s become rare and unsanctioned. Seeing these perfect babies has been one of the best parts of my whole year. Hadley […]
