Oh, to find the right words for this session! Let’s start wth unrestrained joy. Breathtaking beauty in the face of sweet Zoe and the season of growing and learning a new set of ropes as a family. It was just my favorite thing walking in to their house to see these two friends (I had the pleasure of […]
I stepped into a dreamy newborn fog when I walked into this adorable house to meet baby Harriet. LJ and Emily seem to have stepped seamlessly into their new role as parents and there’s so much love for Miss Hattie, it’s impossible to miss it. What a lucky, lovely little lady! Newborn babies have the most unique […]
Perfect baby alert! Owen is likely to cause baby fever. Browse photos at your own risk. There. You’ve been warned. 🙂 Well, well, well. It’s one of the sweetest families around and they’re back on the blog! I’m overflowing with happiness for these friends of mine as they have welcomed their second kiddo, Owen Lee. […]
All week I’ve been thinking about words. What words might describe what the new year will bring? What words will characterize my circumstances or my thoughts? And then I sat down to create this post – my absolute favorite of the year, because who doesn’t like to gather and dwell on their favorites? – and […]
Get your cute-people-admiration-goggles on, because this family is maxing out the adorable scale! Newborn sessions – let’s talk about ’em. I walk in the door and it’s like time stops – nobody is in a hurry, everyone is on a tiny human’s brand new schedule, and there’s a LOT of love flowing around. But, there’s […]
And then there were three! Join me in welcoming sweet, curious, cuddly Opal June to the world. She’s an awesome addition to a couple of pretty great new parents, and I had the privilege of dropping in on them as they were all getting acquainted in that first week home. My job is so crazy […]
After photographing this sweet girl’s big brother Grayson during our maternity session a few weeks back, I had no doubt she would be every single bit as cute, and boy was I right!!! Josalyn was so much fun to photograph. I am in love with all the little things she did with her hands. She’s […]
Last fall, after a really fun, laid-back session with this family, a glowing Elizabeth told me that in the spring, I’d get to photograph their twins. TWINS. I think next to the two of them, and possibly a few family members, I was the next most excited about their news. 😉 Fast forward just a […]
The beauty of this sweet babe is totally beyond words! I had the privilege of photographing her parents as they awaited her arrival. This whole family makes me incredibly happy. 🙂 We got together again to capture Rashmi at one month, with her grandmother still here from India. What an honor to be invited into such a […]
Even though this stunning family has been on the blog many sweet times before, I hardly recognize them now that they’ve grown to a party of FIVE! I can’t believe how much has changed in four years since I first captured baby Trey with my camera (plus this, this and this). It goes without saying: I adore […]
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 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 […]
