I got extra giddy and excited at the first glance through these photos after a super fun session with this crew. Is it the red-headed children? I don’t know, but something about this family makes my heart all happy and fluttery. They’re just so darn wonderful. It’s been a year and a half since I’ve […]

I love this family and the fact that they frequent this blog from time to time. 🙂 Oliver and Veda just steal my heart, especially this time since Oliver was excited ALL DAY looking forward to our session. Talk about filling up my love tank! This session was in celebration of Veda turning one year […]

I get to share another beautiful extended family session with you all today! There was lots and lots to love about this one. You know it’s gonna be good, when you have multiple unexpected road blocks (like literal, actual gates blocking the road) to deal with in the first five minutes of arriving at the […]

THE CALLEN FAMILY IS BACK! They’re like a national treasure, and I can’t get enough of this wonderful little crew. My friendship with Cherise goes back thirteen years, and I am full of thanks that we are still in the same city, in the same life stage, and I get to watch her be a […]

Wild amounts of fun were had with this sweet family, which comes as no surprise. Can you even believe these twins are so grown up? I hadn’t seen them in a year or so, and it’s truly crazy how much changes in so little time. I’m over-the-moon that Elizabeth asked to do the session at […]

There’s so much life in the group of people you see here. So much laughter and enjoyment of simple things and love between each member of the family. SUCH a gorgeous time with them, and they made me feel like part of the fam! Ruth & Eric with their super-fun, amazing and unique grandchildren. These […]

This session makes my heart super warm and fuzzy. It just does. 🙂 This little party of three is incredibly lovable, and capturing Hattie at one year – then doing a mental contrast back to her newborn session – is a beautiful thing. Time is the craziest. Hattie is the queen of ALL the faces. […]

Lots of energy: check. Cute factor: check. Lookalikes: check. These two siblings are such sweet firecrackers and it was so fun to chase them around and capture all their fun. Keep an eye on almost-4-year-old Grayson throughout these photos. He is a ham and just didn’t quit the whole night! He’s been the same since […]

If a family invites you to their lake house to capture the true, relaxed essence of their family in their beloved vacation spot, your answer is YEP. I had so much fun with this happy crew! The original Wortmans! Paul and Sue’s fun grandparent game is strong. They are clearly adored by each one of […]

I have lots of love for this crew! When I walked in the door and saw little Veda, my jaw dropped. It hasn’t been *all that* long since her newborn photos, but time flies and babies grow up and I was shocked at how much she’s grown! Kids everywhere, please…for goodness sake, slow it down. […]

This is one of those posts where I’m struggling to begin. Sometimes the task of summing up a family’s awesomeness in a short blog post is just not realistic. And what a great problem to have! We kicked off this evening of photo-making craziness at Nate and Amber’s home, and when that works out, it’s […]

I was swooning hard before, during and after the hour I spent with these guys. Not only are they old friends, they’re the best kind of people. The kids are fun, so sweet, love to get dirty (so we did), and they squeeze fun out of everything. Love them! Justine and Andrew were among the […]

This session was such an honor. These three were visiting from Italy (woah!) and during their precious time with family, we worked in a photo session. I fell hard right off the bat for little Siena, who just happened to be turning ONE that very day. She is the sunniest little girl!  Gosh, these next […]

One of the most naturally happy families I ever did see. The Olivers! You know for sure when mom doesn’t ask any questions or even raise an eyebrow to meeting for photos in a nondescript parking lot on a busy street, that you’ve got a winner. 🙂 These boys were so much fun! I love their brother […]

Welcome to the blog, Holt family!!!!!! These guys have something special going on. They enjoy one another so dang much (and for good reason – they’re all wonderful) and it made me all kinds of happy. I could have hung out with them all afternoon, but couldn’t because they had to go to Costco. 😉 Let’s kick things […]
