As a newborn photographer, so often all I see is the happy ending: a beautiful, healthy baby. Tired but beaming parents. Older children becoming siblings. It’s wonderful, but so often, there’s so much more that goes unseen and undocumented: the endless waiting. The invasive tests and questions from well-meaning relatives. The crushing news received during […]

Summertime means loooong days, picnics outside, and lots of family time. With later sunset times, it’s the perfect opportunity to fit in an after-work portrait session if your weekends are packed! You may be overwhelmed with options and trying to style a whole family can be difficult, so I’ve compiled a few steps to help.

Well folks, the end of the year is nearly upon us. It’s time to reflect on our accomplishments, our triumphs, our finest moments of 2017. But that would be boring. Instead, today I present to you some of my favorite outtakes from the past year. I’ve been holding on to some of these for months, […]

It may be Halloween, but I’ve got Christmas on the brain! Plans for the AWP children’s holiday series are in full swing and appointments are booking quickly, so I wanted to pass along the details as this is NOT your average mini session event!

Well, as to be expected, I challenged myself to blog each day in the month of September – and then TOTALLY fell off the bandwagon. But it was for a good reason, I promise!

September was an absolutely incredible month for me and AWP. The studio got a beautiful makeover, I booked two more weddings for next year, and I got to serve some absolutely wonderful new clients. To cap it off, I was fortunate enough to attend a small, in-person workshop with one of the greatest newborn photographers […]

It’s hard to put the power of newborn photography into words, but I’m going to try. My births and post-partum experiences were difficult, physically and mentally, and sadly, I don’t have many happy memories of the early days with my daughters. Before they were born, newborn photography seemed like a frivolous expense. “What do I […]

How do you want to be photographed? I begin all consultations with this simple question. Because it’s not about me, it’s about you. Let me show you your greatest possible self. The beautiful soul that your family and friends adore. You are enough, you are worth it, you are valuable. Great portraits are a side […]

Ahhh, I can’t believe it! My first fall mini session event has completely sold out – and it’s still almost two months away! To ensure I’m able to serve as many families as possible, I’ve opened up a handful of additional sessions on Friday, November 3rd. Visit the shop section for more details and to […]

You’ve heard it a million times – your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye. The months (or years!) of planning and preparation will be over before you know it, and the next day, all you’ll have is your groom and your photographs. It’s my job to make sure the latter are […]
