A few weeks ago we hosted our most anticipated event of the year: The Motherhood Series. This limited edition series honors the connection that mothers have with their children through fine art, painterly studio portraits. I’m so thankful to my creative team that helped this event come to life, including Sara at Willow Canvas for […]

I’m probably in the minority amongst photographers, but I LOVE extended family sessions. There are decades of history and inside jokes. Friendly sibling rivalries. So many cute little kiddos! And most importantly, an opportunity to create portraits that are going to be loved by your entire family for generations. As much as we all love the […]

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! The past several weeks have brought family and newborn portrait sessions, two new wedding clients for 2018, educational workshops, and tons […]

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 […]

I absolutely love this time of year. The temperature begins to dip, football season has begun, and all of sudden pumpkin is in everything. It’s also the best time of year for family portraits! You may be overwhelmed with options and trying to style a whole family can be difficult, so I’ve compiled a few […]

I beg of you: give the same amount of care to choosing a […]

This family is SO ridiculously sweet! Dennisse and I totally hit it off during her consultation, chatting away like old friends for the better part of an hour late one evening several weeks before the session. A few days later I receive an email from Dennisse – she’d broken her foot (ouch!) but still wanted […]

Guys, this session was SO incredible. It was the first time working with my amazing new hair and makeup stylist, Crystal, and we couldn’t have asked for a better family for the occasion! I met mom, Stacey, at the Leprechaun Lilly event last month. Stacey’s boys – husband Fernando and son Liam – keep her […]

As a child and family photographer, one question I hear alllll the time from parents is: how the heck do you do it? I wish I could say it’s easy, but it’s not. Creating beautiful images of children is HARD! Patience and confidence, y’all. You know how they say dogs can smell fear? Well, kids […]
