It’s somewhat of a toss-up, but the night we took this lovely family’s photos may have been the prettiest day of fall! What was even better than the weather was the company. 🙂 I always thoroughly enjoy time with Chad & Halley and their darling kids, who are definitely growing up fast. Calvin is a […]

I know I frequently gush over my sweet client families, maybe to the point that some think it is not genuine, but THEY’RE ALL JUST SO FANTASTIC AND I LOVE THEM! Case in point: the Sova family. They are like an explosion of kindness, hilarity, sibling rivalry, sibling adoration, sass, maturity, fun, laughter and love. […]

Oh, to be two years old! Hudson is a perfect example of the zest embodied in this age. Volume: up. Emotions: up. Energy: up. Hopes for independence: way, way up! It helps in this full-on stage of taking each day by storm, to have two adoring, smiling, loving parents like Matt and Abby. Oh, how […]

This senior session! It would be impossible to capture the full force of Isabella’s creativity in photos, but dang, did we try! Her ideas for her session were inspiring, and I am so in love with the result. One-of-a-kind, ethereal, and radiant – everything she is. Isn’t she the loveliest? I’ve had the pleasure of […]

This session was a 10/10! We had a perfect night, and it was simply delightful to wander Holmes Lake and enjoy them enjoying one another. This crew knows without a doubt that they are one another’s people. They have four uniquely different personalities, but their traits overlap each other’s like a Venn diagram. Closeness radiates […]

What a session with Connor! Photographing him at the outset of his senior year was an honor, and he showed up laid-back, confident and dapper – such a great trifecta of his personality. I try to “pose” people as casually and unposed as possible, and Connor made it a breeze. He’s got a natural confidence […]

Next up on the senior schedule: Logan! He’s just impossible to not like. Personal bias alert – he’s got ‘special family friend’ status in my house since his amazing mom has provided part-time childcare to all three of my kids over the past nine years and loved them like her own. As we’ve come and […]
