Say hello to sweet Wren! This absolutely darling girl was so much fun to photograph. She alternated between this intense look of curiosity and a huge, playful grin the entire time. She’s a new member of the one-year-old club, and she’s simply fascinating. There have never been any two cuter teeth than hers. Her parents […]

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 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 […]

This wonderful crew is back! Earlier this summer I got to once again photograph my sister’s family, and WOW do they look grown up. Something distinct changes for photo sessions when the youngest reaches age 5. It’s got such a different feel. Still so fun, but the wild level comes down a notch. 😉 Just […]

You can tell a genuine smile by how far it reaches into someone’s eyes. With these three you don’t have to squint to tell whether it’s real or not. Ryan, Jessica and Ada all have the warmest, joy-saturated smiles with twinkly eyes. It’s the best kind. 🙂 Each time I see Ada, I fall a […]
