Welcome to the blog...

Gosh, it’s been cold here! I just opened up my spring and summer 2024 calendar, so I’m already getting excited for warmer weather so I can start shooting outside again. During these coldest days of winter so far, spring and summer still feel a long way off. But my booking calendar always keeps me thinking months ahead! Although it’s only the second week of class…

This month I am celebrating 5 incredible years in the photography business! Woohoo! Honestly, I can’t even believe it some times. Some days it feels like I’ve been doing this forever, and other days it feels like I just started. I just want to say that I’m beyond grateful for every client who has entrusted me with their family’s most precious and defining moments over…

I’m obsessed with everything about this incredibly fun Christmas Tree Farm Family Session with the Samples family! Amazing location.   Sweet kiddos.   Adorable family. Lots of love & connection. Everything that photographers dream of for their sessions! The Samples family made such great Christmas memories at Homestead Pine Tree Farm for their Christmas trees farm family session this year!…

I’m thrilled to share the joy and cuteness of this minimalist floral cake smash session to celebrate Fiadh’s recent first birthday! As a photographer who specializes in capturing priceless moments, let me tell you – cake smash sessions are the epitome of fun and frolic! I love these photos of Fiadh and her parents SOOO much, but can I be honest for a sec? Getting…

I recently had the incredible opportunity to shoot a branding session for the talented vacation planner and travel blogger extraordinaire, Devyn! From brainstorming travel itineraries to crafting unforgettable experiences, Devyn’s passion is planning epic getaways and finding hidden local gems. And she definitely knows what she’s doing! How do I know? Because Devyn travels 100% of the time! Can you imagine?!?! As someone who has…

Guys, Mario’s senior session was my 4th session with the Brkaric family! They have honored me so much by booking me for two family sessions and then a senior session for each of their two boys—I did Mario’s older brother Gavin a couple of years ago. It truly is an honor when clients continue to come back to me for future sessions. So this is…

Statement outfits—outfits that really stand out or draw attention—are sneakily one of my favorite things about senior photos. Not all, but many of my seniors choose an outfit or piece for their senior photos that really stands outs in a way that “makes a statement” about who they are! The reason I love statement outfits so much is that are one of the major ways…

Many clients come to me expecting their family photo session to be a stressful event. They really really want the photos, but with young kids, they assume the process of getting the photos will be a challenge. We all want stress-free family photos, right? I admit that there is a lot of work involved—getting everybody dressed and ready to go can be a chore all…

Gosh, I have been obsessed with the senior photos we’ve captured this summer. With a few more senior sessions to go this fall, I am already thinking about next year and all that I want to do to create an amazing senior experience for my class of ’25 clients!

I work with all types of seniors and thrive on…
