James asked for a fishing license for Father’s Day. I thought it was a great idea. We went out together this past week to Dick’s to pick up the license and that was that. Yesterday morning came around, and I thought how ridiculous it was that all we got James was a fishing license for […]

1. I slept until 7:08 am. Call me lazy. I should’ve gotten up at 6:08 am and used that extra hour to do something productive to aiding my weight loss–like run. Or done a workout video. Or something other than sleep. But sleep is what I did. I was woken up by Brayden, who came […]

Sarah and Matt came on a beautiful Sunday evening as part of my spring mini sessions. She didn’t want a full maternity session, but knew she wanted some images to remember this precious time in their lives. So they opted for a mini, which I thought was a perfect idea. They brought Sunday, their dog, […]

No doubt about it, reminiscing is fun. Looking back on my life, the life that James and I have had with our kids, we truly have had an incredible seven years so far. I love that I’ve been taking pictures of them since they were very little–pictures of nothing significant mixed with stuff that we […]

I’ve been photographing this handsome fellow since he was born, and I loved seeing him to celebrate turning one! I love his super blonde hair and baby blue eyes, and his gigantic smile. He hammed it up for the camera for much of his session until we pooped him right out. As soon as we […]

I knew I should’ve gone in with a game plan. And I didn’t. So, it seemed like the whole weekend was kind of like me twiddling my thumbs in my head. You see . . . for the next thirteen weekends, I’m working nine of them. Photographers have strange hours. And typically, I work seven […]

Today, I’m doing something I’ve never attempted before. Two newborn sessions in one day. In fact, as this post is set to publish, I am knee deep in one of them. Let’s hope he’s sleepy like an angel, putty in my hands. No accidents on the blankets. No fussing. Just a perfect little twelve day […]

I could never grow tired of photographing this little one. Remember her Boots & Puddles session in April? She danced around and sang for me the whole time. She may be little for her age, but she packs a personality punch–she just is full of it. Giggles galore–bit old belly laughs. And they make for […]

I’ve learned that birthday parties don’t need to be so ridiculously involved that I spend two weeks planning, designing and making things to decorate and do. We’ve done that far too many times in the beginning of our parenthood. And you know what? I think I used to do it just so I could take […]

I always adore my time photographing these two beautiful girls, and this past session with them was no disappointment. They are so fun to interact with, and seriously, it’s very hard to take a bad picture of them! They have such natural beauty. We lucked out with a bunch of great wish flowers during our […]
