Every Summer, like Roses, Childhood Returns
Ohhhh buddy. If you even knew what this kiddo and I have been through together... I always go into it KNOWING that this sweet boy is gonna make me work for it. EVERY. SINGLE. SECOND. OF. IT. So Mama Jodie and I were like, okay, he's cheezing for the camera. CHECK! Okay, I'm bringing lots of toys and snacks. CHECK! We were 100% prepared but still a little skeptical. LET ME TELL YOU WHAT... this kid surprised us all and KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK. He played and laughed and had


She's the Exclamation Mark in the Happiest Sentence that I Could Ever Possibly Write
Is there truly anything more beautiful than the bond and the love between a Mother and her Children? I definitely do not think so. I found inspiration for these sessions LAST YEAR. Yes, that's how far in advance I plan these shoots; I'm crazy like that. I absolutely love the set - there were of course issues... transporting the canopy was NOT easy. The wind was WICKED. But we made it work. With some awesome attitudes and some amazing women, we made it work and the images are


There are So Many Beautiful Reasons to be Happy
My bestfriend has been trying to get family pictures done for over a year. Not just family; extended family. Her mom and dad, her sister and her family + Case and her family. We FINALLY got it scheduled and done. Everyone was there and it worked out beautifully. With 5 little boys we were definitely kept on our toes. Casey was so EXCITED to have pictures of her mom and dad together. I know this session meant so damn much to her & I couldn't wait to edit and deliver their imag


If I Know What Love Is, It's Because of You
This session was a LONG time in the making. Ashly won this session by participating in a contest last fall, late fall. We originally scheduled in I think, November. It ended up being one of the COLDEST days of the year... Of course. I think it was 15 degree WITHOUT the bitter wind chill. Obviously with all the babes, that just didn't work out. We all went out, gave it a shot, but it just didn't work and we couldn't keep the babes out any longer. We rescheduled for April, thin


Spring Mini Sessions
I am happy to say that I hosted another successful day of Spring Mini Sessions this year. Families and Mamas and their babes filled my day. Most of the sessions were some of my amazing repeat clients but I did get to meet one amazing family. They have an amazing story that I cannot wait to share with you! Emily & Greyson Okay, these two are ADORABLE. I first met them around Christmas time when Emily booked a Holiday Mini Session. She is the absolute sweetest person ever and d


Take That Chance. Find Your Forever.
I'm not going to lie, I was nervous for Christy and Bob's engagement session. They warned me before hand that it was hard to get him to smile for pictures. Once I saw them the day of the session, my nerves quickly faded. They were amazing to work with and they had so much fun with my prompts. They didn't look at me like I was crazy, they just WENT WITH IT. I didn't think it was hard to get him to smile or to get emotive images at all! I owe a lot of that to not being a "posey
