welll.....I meant to take a brief break and ended up not posting for months!! Every time I tried to post, I just felt so goofy and couldn't get the words *just* right 🤷‍♀️

All that to say, I'm still here, still photographing adorable families and kiddos, and I would love to see you all! If you're looking to book a session with me, check out the link below!

Another year, another cookie baking day! This is one of my favorite unique "holidays"! I spent the whole day baking cookies yesterday! I'll have to show you all the stuff we made in the comments!
Does your family do a holiday baking day? Or am I just addicted to sugar? LOL

Hello December!!
This month brings so many fun traditions! My favorites are baking a whole bunch of cookies with my mom and siblings and walking through a zillion Christmas lights at the park with my husband and son!

What's your favorite December tradition??

I’m so thankful to have clients like you -- who support my small business and refer me to their family and friends! You make my job so much fun, and that’s something for which I’m truly thankful!
Sending you my gratitude today and everyday! Happy Thanksgiving!

I am always honored when my friends choose me to document their families!
Jason, Lana and I go way back to my college days-- studying art and playing music with my husband. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday, but then I see their sweet kiddos and I can't believe how the time has flown by!

I simply adore these sessions! We will have two different set ups. We start out on our Christmas bed and then move to our classic White Christmas set up. We will have cookies, marshmallows and candy canes for the kiddos to guarantee lots of smiles and the perfect Christmas photos!

This sweet boy melted my heart! He found every flower on the trail and picked it for me, ❤😍 I had a tiny bouquet to take home ❤😍 How I wish I could go back in time and spend another day with my son at this age! Such sweetness =)

What they say about me is true…

I am, in fact, crazy about babies!

I have been known to spend an entire party holding a friend's baby rather than socialize! 🤷🏼‍♀️ 💕 what can I say, I just love little babies! I would love to snuggle your little one and capture those sweet first moments!! Send me a message if you're expecting to make my day and get on my schedule!! (pretty please!!)
