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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Woah, these boys are handsome! These two brothers won me over (in about .02 seconds) at Kayden’s newborn session and here we are six months later! It was a delight to see them again. Kayden was pretty serious-faced and curious during our time unless Kian was in sight, and then it was just adorable smiles […]

It was pure joy to have these cuties back for photos this year. They may as well be adults, now, and sister dynamics are basically my favorite thing ever. We had a fun time! Sienna is just striking! Her style, personality, pixie cut (heck yeah!) and dimples are the best combo. She’s also very poised, […]

Pure happiness is on it’s way for these two! Their maternity session was fun, sweet and heartwarming – despite some chilly weather. We walked around their breathtaking acreage, and I felt like I was with family, even though we’d just met. Their baby boy will be here in a matter of days – I’m so […]

Before you begin scrolling through this session, take a moment to prepare your eyes for cuteness. There are really high amounts of it and you may appreciate the warning. Ready? Great. Let’s go! Maximus is a handsome, curious, wild three-year-old, and sweet, mover-and-shaker Graycen recently celebrated her first birthday. They are quite the duo, and […]
