They’re back! Some of my favorite people to photograph have been in front of my lens lately. My friend Amy (see my favorite pics of her family here) asked me about taking photos of her whole family (siblings, kids, parents, grandparents…) and I was both excited and overwhelmed. I’ve never done a session with this […]

getting a little behind

In terms of Chinese New Years, this is certainly not the Year of the Blog for me. Not only have I all but given up reading the thirty-some blogs I used to follow on a daily basis, but I’ve also entrenched myself in another slump of neglecting my posts here. It seems there are a […]

2 months

Our girl is two months this week, and she is so much fun! I freaking love being her mom. 🙂 She’s smiling a lot, making tons of crazy noises that get louder every day, and we’re soaking up our last few weeks of hanging out all day before I go back to work. We are […]

Claire Amelia Rawson

Posted in Newborn

Our daughter, Claire Amelia Rawson, was born August 14, 2013. She weighed 8lbs 6oz, and measured 20.5 inches long. She is so many things. Wondrous, innocent, stunning, curious, needy, funny, seemingly flawless…my new parent’s heart could go on and on. David and I are so wonderfully fortunate to get to be in her life and […]

These were the last photos I got to take before the birth of my sweet daughter (who I’ll introduce here once I’ve got some of her photos ready!). So fun and fitting to celebrate another friend’s journey through pregnancy alongside my own. These two are incredibly special people to me. I met them a few […]

So happy to have these four on the blog today. How gorgeous does Krista look?! It was definitely over 90 degrees when we shot these and she […]

I had an extremely fun, goofy, bright and happy shoot with these two lovely ladies the other night. Mother/daughter photos are so special to me right now and these were no exception. After spending just an hour with them, I had a permanent smile on my face thinking of how unashamedly silly they are with […]

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 […]

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 […]

the hassler family

Posted in Family

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
