I still can’t believe it. With three children of my own and having photographed countless numbers of babies…I still can’t believe it. Yes, I have had a few babies throw smiles my way through the years, and they are super cute, but for the most part, they are a result of gas or a little nudge of the cheek. But not this morning. This little guy, was so chill, and I started to make sweet talk with him while shooting and each time I did, he’d look right at me and smile. At first I thought it was a fluke, but he did it over and over again!! Talking to him in a calm voice was so calming for him […]

I had the honor of photographing another home birth yesterday and there were not one, but two firsts for me. One, this is the very first birth I’ve photographed where the baby arrived on the actual due date! And, believe it or not, this is the first birth I’ve photographed where the family would be surprised by the gender, believe it or not. I had to really stop and think back through all the births I’ve photographed over the years and I do believe this is the first surprise baby. And surprised they were! I LOVED that moment of realizing that with 4 sons, they now have a daughter. This momma worked so hard for her baby, it was a […]

I love….that our lives are so intertwined that when I go to look for a photo of one of them, I always have to stop and think about whether it’s mixed in with my family photos or in their “client” folder…..

I love….that my children and theirs are at their happiest when they are together, no matter what they are doing…..

I love…..the little girl giggles and the dress up and the play dates and the long girly telephone calls and the constant scheming to be together.

I love…..that they will grow up and never remember […]

Slideshow: The Birth of Noah

His birth was quiet and quick (59 minutes after I arrived quick!). It was filled with love and joy and tears and a ton of beautiful little moments. He’s blessed with a calm, loving mother and a father who is just head over heals in love with his life and his family and two big brothers that will make growing up so much fun. Noah, as well as both of his brothers were all born at home, in the same room. That is totally amazing, but now they can never move! HA! Congrats to the entire family and thank you for letting me share Noah’s birth […]

Did you know that I now offer a Belly and Baby package? Sure do! Many times a mini session is perfect for maternity photos. It’s just enough to capture and document your pregnancy, especially when you are about to have a baby and know you’ll want to blow those images up and plaster them all over your walls! I’ve been doing a lot of mini maternity sessions here lately and I love them! Their little guy has already arrived and I’ll be doing his newborn session this weekend, I can’t wait to meet him!

These two are so adorable together. Dominic has THE coolest British accent. Seriously, I could listen to him […]

Blog posts that is 😉 This little guy arrived a bit early and we’re lucky to have squeezed in a maternity session just a few days before the big day! Since I didn’t get a chance to share the maternity session before we did his newborn session, here are a few…

Katie over at Modern Muse Makeup Artistry did her makeup, gorgeous!!!

And not too many days later….he’s sooooooo cute!

His mommy had a big stack of hats for me to choose from and use for his session, cute stuff!
