I had the incredible pleasure of meeting this lovely little lady when she was just a day old. I met my good friends Tyler and Mandy (remember their awesome maternity session?) at the hospital to ooh and ahh over their sweet Coralee Abel as I snapped some photos. Both times I have seen her now, […]
Prepare your hearts for so much adorable love. I’m definitely partial. I had the humbling privilege of photographing my nieces, brother and sister-in-law as a new family of four, including some one-month-old photos of the newest little darling to our family, Nora. She has followed her big sister’s footsteps by being breathtakingly beautiful and my favorite thing – she has […]
Say hello to one of the world’s newest residents. Little boys like Andrew are just….*sigh* perfect. He turned me into a melty puddle as soon as I met him. I know his GORGEOUS mom from college days, and she is an incredible gem of a friend – the kind you rejoice over when she tells […]
One of my special privileges as a photographer is spending lots of time with moms. I take their photos with the people they treasure most. They are intimate. Often full of joy, comfort, support, laughter and touch. These women vulnerably share their families with me and put their deepest affections on display so I can witness and transform their […]
She’s here! My sweet niece is here. Ohhhh, how my siblings’ babies hold a deep, sweet place in my heart. If I’m allowed to have favorites, they are my first choice of subjects to photograph, and this one is a natural. She bears a striking resemblance to one outstanding big brother, and she’s just dainty and […]
This family. I fell even more in love with them the second time around, and I just cannot get enough. I love photographing young siblings, because they are in for some of the best years of their life growing up together with a constant companion, and they don’t even know it. I love their imperfect way […]
I find a lot of personal significance, when I look back at the year 2014. There are the obvious things that were happening, like most of my daughter’s first year of life, big decisions like leaving my day job to pursue photography full time, etc. But amidst those things, I think I just grew a […]
Welcome to the world, sweet baby girl! You couldn’t be one ounce more precious. I don’t have too many words when it comes to newborn sessions. Every single little one is such a unique, beautiful creation, and I think it’s best to just admire each tiny feature in happy silence. Shhhh… Thank you, Callens, for letting […]
Seeing your long-time friends welcome baby #2 is a special thing. I love being in the midst of big changes for people with whom you’ve lived a bit of life. This family is so tender, patient and adoring of one another. We could all learn a lot from them. Congratulations, Dexter family! These sisters couldn’t be any […]
Happy friday! I’m excited to be posting pictures of a dear family today, one that I’ve had the sweet privilege of watching grow over the last few years. They are funny, they have a unique family personality, they roll with it, they enjoy each other well. And their newest addition has stolen my heart. Those […]
There’s a beautiful new baby girl in the world, and she belongs to these two. Welcome to the world, Adynn. You have quite the adoring entourage, and you’re worth every little hug, cuddle, and kiss. I think this little man deserves a shoutout. Being a big brother is exciting, but it can be hard to […]
Our daughter, Claire Amelia Rawson, was born August 14, 2013. She weighed 8lbs 6oz, and measured 20.5 inches long. She is so many things. Wondrous, innocent, stunning, curious, needy, funny, seemingly flawless…my new parent’s heart could go on and on. David and I are so wonderfully fortunate to get to be in her life and […]
Meet the Wiedeman family: adorable brother love, smitten parents, one awesome, pirate-loving and proud big brother, and a delightful new addition with a full head of awesome hair! So happy to have these four on the blog today. How gorgeous does Krista look?! It was definitely over 90 degrees when we shot these and she […]
Well, I’m pretty behind on blogging. I thought I’d post these immediately after my sweet nephew was born and here it is, a whole month later, and I already have a niece to go with him(!), and still I haven’t shared any photos. I also need to post pictures of our bathroom remodel we completed […]
One of my favorite families has a new addition. Anthony David Smith is here and he is awesome. Big brother Gregg has graced this blog with his cute face over the past year or so and I love looking back over several photo shoots with this family and seeing how they’ve grown. Congratulations, Will & […]
I’m sure these don’t really show it, but this little miss is so tiny! Photographing her at two weeks was a such a sweet way to pass a Saturday afternoon. Campbell was born to two great friends of mine from college and she is just pure sweetness wrapped up in a little pink blanket. Big […]
Lillian is a sweet, tiny, pink baby whose parents let me photograph a few moments of their amazing journey of pregnancy back in October. Lillian Frances arrived in November and these photos were taken when she was just nineteen days old. With two red-headed parents, she’s one cute little ginger. Someone did not enjoy being […]
It is an amazing thing to meet the children of your closest friends. I’ve gotten to experience this twice in the last several months and it’s not exactly something I’m used to. I’m just arriving at that stage of life and it’s mesmerizing me. How can one tiny baby look so distinctly different from another. […]
