Since I have photographed couples & weddings for years now….couples are my safe zone-could-do-this-with-a-blindfold-on-kinda thang! Now that I have moved into photographing families, it’s a skill that has served me well because PARENTS NEVER HAVE PHOTOS TOGETHER. I can speak for my own dang self…as a photographer…that the last “just me & my husband” photo […]

I was looking forward to this family session so. stinkin. much. Because the momma is someone I *really* admire. She is so intentional with her time (it seems) and what she puts her efforts into. She loves her family so well, she’s clearly head over heels for her husband still, she’s a country girl, she has […]

So the story of this session: I was uber pregnant & needed an assistant & Marisa and I were friends through the interweb with many common friends and interests: BOOM. Hired her as my prego right hand and found out she is one lovely human. Turns out, she lives 3 minutes away and also adores […]

I was so inspired shooting this family & those sessions always tend to be some of my personal favorites. My philosophy for shooting families is centered around savoring the love of now & your current place in life. Not so much – “Okay, I’m going to shoot mom with each kid then dad with each […]

The stars aligned and every aspect of this session was what I envisioned AND what they envisioned. So everybody won, big time! […]
