the orton family

Posted in Newborn

Well, I’m pretty behind on blogging. I thought I’d post these immediately after my sweet nephew was born and here it is, a whole month later, and I already have a niece to go with him(!), and still I haven’t shared any photos. I also need to post pictures of our bathroom remodel we completed […]

the cordell family

Posted in Family

Say hello to the Cordells! Last Saturday, we had ourselves a fun hour of running around, throwing grass, picking flowers, sitting in anthills (just me, actually), and being very patient posing for photos before getting to run over to where the fun is really at: the park! They are such a sweet family. You can […]

Because all women, pregnant or not, should enjoy a decadent waffle from time to time. 🙂 These are just a few snapshots of the shower we (myself, my mom, and my fabulous friend Amy) threw my sister to celebrate and prep for the little man who is due TOMORROW!!! I am anxiously awaiting his arrival […]

This is my sister. And her little one. And her fantastic husband. Molly, you’re beautiful. You’re a mom! And in just a few short days you’ll finally meet my handsome little nephew and we’re going to celebrate like crazy. Thanks for asking me to take these pictures. They made me nervous, but they were very […]

the dexter family

What to say about this sweet family? All I can think is it was so special to photograph them as they are right now, with their beautiful daughter Eva, when I’ve known them for almost 10 years now! I’m so tempted to preface this shoot with somewhat embarrassing pictures of them, myself, and several other […]

If you’ve read this blog for awhile or followed my photography, you know I am in love with clients I get to photograph twice…or more! I met Sam when he was just six months and content to stare straight at my lens and make adorable faces for a few hours. Then I got to snap […]

the smith family

One of my favorite families has a new addition. Anthony David Smith is here and he is awesome. Big brother Gregg has graced this blog with his cute face over the past year or so and I love looking back over several photo shoots with this family and seeing how they’ve grown. Congratulations, Will & […]

i miss you, blog

Hey! It’s been a month. Wow. Isn’t that just how it goes sometimes? We have had so much going on. Namely, our bathroom remodel project is underway and actually almost done! What we naively hoped would be a 3 week project, 4 max, is turning out to be about a 7 week ordeal. Gross. As […]

the tran family

I’m sure these don’t really show it, but this little miss is so tiny! Photographing her at two weeks was a such a sweet way to pass a Saturday afternoon. Campbell was born to two great friends of mine from college and she is just pure sweetness wrapped up in a little pink blanket. Big […]

I have a little news to share this morning…the Rawsons are gonna have a baby! (That’s not mine. Obviously.) Here’s the rundown: Due in August. I’m 15 weeks. Yes, I was a little sick for a few months but not bad. Yes, we plan to solve the he/she mystery (end of March). And yes, we’re […]

Winter. Blech. I’m not a fan. I try not to use this blog as a platform to do a lot of whining, but I allow myself one post a year to rant about the weather. And it’s that time again! January in general (and particularly last night’s snow dump) makes me wonder why on earth […]

First post of 2013! Yes! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Years. I was lucky enough to spend my day off on New Years Eve taking photos of these guys and their family that consists of two wonderful people + two big, beautiful dogs. We started off in their amazing condo […]

happy 60th birthday, mom!

Posted in Other

My mom, Dori, who many of you know, turned 60 on December 19. Earlier this year, my family decided to pull together a surprise party for her and it took no small amount of planning and scheming. She was very surprised to see my siblings and our spouses in South Dakota, a week before she […]

john & jami, part 3

Posted in Family

The last time I took pictures of this adorable family, Lily was nineteen days old. She is preciously sweet and I can’t get enough of all that red-head love. These guys are one of my most encouraging client families (and were one of my first!) and I love working with them. You can see their […]

Blog, meet Jeff, Laura & Landon. Lovely people, aren’t they? I certainly think so. We spent a fun afternoon together, chasing after the little man as he satisfied his curiosity, walking down lots of steps and picking out the family Christmas tree. This picture is my favorite. I’m not entirely sure why, but I love […]

This is how I feel about winter… …so I couldn’t blame little Evie one bit for shivering during our shoot last weekend. The air had a little snap to it. But my goodness, this girl, and her parents, too, for that matter, were such troopers. They didn’t seem to mind the cold and looked gorgeous […]

What can I say about the Clarks? Tom and Ruth are wonderful friends. I’ve known them for a few years now and they are generous, fun, thoughtful and they thoroughly enjoy people. Their sweet Lydia Jane is just that. So sweet. Thanks for spending the afternoon with me sitting around a park and playing with […]
