This shoot. I wanted to do this shoot justice maybe more than any family I’ve photographed before. There’s something about these three, and it’s not just the unique circumstances they find themselves in. There’s a joy that’s present in this family, and it just begs to be shown – it HAS to be seen. It’s […]
Reflecting on the last year is always mind-blowing (even when it’s done in February – whoops!). Did all this really happen in the same year?! As I looked through nearly every photo I took in 2015, I found myself smiling – a lot – and even laughing out loud at my desk, remembering the amazing […]
I’ve had some amazingly fun opportunities this year to photograph extended families. This one ranks pretty high up there since this particular family is so special to me. Three of them are dear college friends of mine, and I loved all the memories that were called to mind as I edited these. 🙂 Road trips, hiking […]
When I first met LeRoy, he left an unmistakeable impression, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would say that of meeting him. He is so friendly it startles you, and I mean that in the best possible way. Everything I know of him is an encouragement, and so I was thrilled to have […]
I’m awfully glad this warm (and hilarious!) family rolled the dice on a late November family session, because we got crazy amounts of gorgeous family fun in this session! Not to mention, the weather was as good as we could have asked for. I’ve never had so much fun with portraits of the parents. Rich and […]
I know that not every family is made up of siblings who desire and choose to remain in one another’s lives long past the point where that is easy and natural. I’m incredibly lucky to be in one where that is the case. This is my sister and her family. If you’ve followed my work for […]
Just look at this SUPER cute family!!!!! Ahh! Sweet Mackenzie stole my heart during our afternoon together. She is as sweet as they come. Her parents aren’t too shabby either – check out her gorgeous, glowing mama Megan and proud daddy Craig. I can’t get enough of these three – soon to be four! Mackenzie on the […]
One of my last fall sessions of the year didn’t feel like just any session – it was with my best friend and her adorable, growing family. If you don’t remember her from about this time last year, let me introduce Bethany and her new arm candy Henry. And here’s the proud big sister, Agnes. She’s […]
Recognize these lovelies? This is their FOURTH appearance on the blog (2012, 2013 and 2014!), and of course, I look forward to our session every year, because there’s absolutely never a dull moment. 🙂 When the kids pick the poses and it turns out perfectly. Well done, Izzy! John, here’s a preview of your senior photos, ok? But […]
Gosh. Another family of people so special to me. I get to call Ashley “family” – she was my Big Sis in our college sorority, and such a dear friend throughout and beyond our time together there. Now she has these three handsome boys with her and it was a complete honor to photograph them together. […]
I don’t even know how to preface this post, except that it may be one of my favorite sessions to date. The last time I photographed these guys, I believe Ayla (the youngest) had just turned one. I fell in love with photographing sisters, and it was a sweet reunion to do it again with these […]
One of my favorite families is back!!! Last fall, I met these three wonderful people, and little Ariadne rocked an entire session that was largely about her with a big ol’ fever. This time we managed to not be sick, and she was sweet as ever. I love, love, love seeing how these kiddos and families […]
What a crew this was! I laughed hard, smiled a whole bunch, and worked up a sweat during their fall family session, and it was well worth it. This is such a special family and I’ve been looking forward to their session for almost a year now! I drew Jennifer’s name to win the session giveaway […]
Oh, my heart! These four lit up that glowy magic hour of sunlight, and their kids filled my heart up with happy kid feelings. 🙂 It was SUCH a good night! First, meet Claire. I know. I was partial to her from the start because of her name (obviously), and those incredible baby blues. She […]
John and Jami are one of the first couples I ever photographed. They asked me to take maternity photos when Jami was pregnant with Lillian. I gulped, somewhat terrified of maternity photos at the time (ha! not anymore!), went for it, and fell in love with spending time with people and my camera during such […]
These three were such a treat to photograph – so chill and laid-back. We trudged through grasshopper infested fields like this pretty one, played with the grass and threw rocks in the water on the loveliest fall day. Meet Kinsley. This sweet girl is full of fun, and has a precious look of mischief mixed with […]
It’s been a while since I photographed this family for the first time. Eva was not quite a year old, and now Ruby is just a bit older than Eva during that first session. We also got some newborn loving in when Ruby was born. 🙂 *sigh* I adore these four, and the sister love […]
I heart this family with all the big puffy heart emojis that exist. We’ve partied with them before for maternity and newborn photos. They are some of the most selfless people I know and have blessed my community in countless ways. People like that can’t help but radiate love, and I’m not kidding when I say I […]
