Sofia was my second cake smash in two days.  She made the session incredibly easy.  Literally, she smiled almost the entire time.  I think she was thrilled with the attention.  She was a perfect little client. . .  no tears, no breaks needed . . . just a smiling, happy little princess.   Sofia’s mom […]

Carston was my first of two cake smash sessions back to back.  I love seeing the babies I am going to photograph for the very first time.  Sometimes it’s as they are being taken out of the car by their parents.  When Carston’s adorable curly head popped out of the back seat, I grinned ear […]

We already miss them.  It’s a bit quieter around here.  The pool has been unused since they left.  They have returned back home.  It’s too far away.  But we are so thankful that we have some of James’s family in a drivable (although long) distance. We tried to make the most of our visit together. […]

The New Hampshire Chases came to visit us this week, and really it truly is one of my favorite times of the year.  We love hanging out with them–we used to only see each other maybe once a year for “family” gathering just because that’s what you are supposed to do.  But in the past […]

As a preface to this post, let me point out that rarely do I use selective color in my editing (making everything black and white but one specific part of the photo, left in color).  I felt like doing it for the balloon pictures.  I know it’s cheesy, and I know it’s horribly outdated and […]

 I normally don’t do a lot of senior portraits . . . for some reason, it’s not my favorite.  Photographers have certain things they are passionate about and could shoot a hundred sessions of that particular subject and never tire of it.  If I were to choose my ultimate passion, it wouldn’t be seniors.  You […]

The Crayola Factory is on the way to Philly.  It was absolutely perfect for Brayden. . . he has been so into crafts and coloring lately, and this is exactly what there is to do there.  Carter didn’t have many things to keep him busy–luckily he was free.  And luckily we had lots of snacks […]

This past weekend, I photographed this adorable little two year old. She had a lot to say–much more than I ever recall a just barely two-year-old ever saying before. Full sentences and all that. I loved that her parents brought her special bunny with them. They wanted to capture the essence of her at this […]

WWhile we were in Philly, one of our stops was a museum for children.  It was amazing.  It was expensive.  It had a really weird name.  The Please Touch Museum.  Out of all the fun, imaginative things you can name a museum, and it’s call the please touch museum?  Strange.  I get it.  It’s straight forward.
