When Michelle told me she wanted to talk about Zach's senior photos is was ECSTATIC! Michelle and I worked together and I knew we would have so much fun planning for and participating in this session. Seniors are one of my favorite session types to photograph! Getting to customize each senior's session based on their interests, hobbies and goals is so much fun for me. They were totally up for using my location ideas and they came in with some ideas of their own (which I love!


Love Makes a Family
I had the CRAZY honor of being present for an adoption hearing and capturing family images afterwards. I cannot even begin to express the emotions I felt, watching this obviously loving, kind family be given PERMANENT custody of two children they had been fostering.

Breastfeeding to me isn't simply the supply of amazing nutrients, its all about the connection. Now before I offend anyone, I fully support #fedisbest! I have breastfed and formula fed and I love my children wholly You do you. You feed your baby in the best way you can. Here is my story: My daughter never figured out the whole latching thing so she got formula from pretty much the beginning and guess what? She's perfect! She's smart and beautiful, inquisitive and loves to lea
