this is the one i was really afraid i wouldn’t make it in time. i’m always a bit nervous when i’m on call for a birth that i won’t make it. i try to be ready to go on a moments notice. but this one, i was really nervous. noelle walked around for weeks at 4+ cm dialated. i jumped every time my phone rang. i’m so thankful that it worked out i got to be there. a-maz-ing birth experience. i cried when she was born. and when i was proofing. and when i finished the slideshow. yeah, i’m a sap, but it really was just that amazing. this birth experience was fast. and intense. and filled with emotion. and […]

I’m really behind in blogging sessions so while the kids are all asleep and it’s nice and quiet, I thought I’d catch up a little bit between emails and catching up on proofing! You can see this little cuties sneak peek here (and here). Since his momma is a photographer I’m sure he’ll have tons and tons of pics but thanks Libby for letting me capture the first few days! I sooooo wish I had hired someone to come in and capture Teagan early on. Here are a few more faves from their session….

oh man, those last two totally crack me up!!

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a family session that wasn’t a newborn, in home, instead of on location. I forgot how much I absolutely love in home sessions. I get to see who they are and capture the family interact and be themselves in their own space. Love that. This cute family had grandparents in for Easter and we managed to sneak in a session while they are still here. We played, we blew bubbles and danced and read books and chased the dog and blew kisses andcuddled and took a bubble bath and read a bedtime story with grandma…..whew, toddlers are busy! Oh, and we hung out with mommy….love these….

Overjoyed does not even begin to describe it. This family has been through a lot, they’ve traveled a long road to get these two precious little guys here. They greeted me at the door with big smiles, they are enjoying every finger, every toe, every little wrinkle, every little expression. They are soaking up every moment and are so genuinely amazed by the miracle of it all.

I can’t blame them a bit, they are perfect afterall….

J & J – thank you for today, it was a joy to meet you and photograph Cooper & Spencer!

good for the soul right? yup, here we go….

I’ve managed to get out of going to the grocery store for almost a month. For some reason it has been landing on Jase. Even if it means he goes late at night. Like, really late. I really should fix that situation but at the same time, it’s kind of nice not having to go with all the kids.

I only have one sock on. This happens a lot. No really, like, a lot. I’m not sure how it happens, or when, but I usually realize it only when a member of our family is looking at my feet and laughing. Quirky is cute right?

I have not purchased one.single.thing for Easter for my […]

welcome to the world beautiful girl….

i got to photograph an amazing birth this morning. maddie-rose gave her momma a run for her money making progress over the last few weeks, keeping us all on our toes, ready to go. but when it was time, she was ready! her water broke at 9:30 and maddie-rose was welcomed into the world this morning at 11:17 am. her birth was fast, intense and emotional (i will go ahead and admit here that i cried when she was born, it was so amazing to experience). i’m so excited for their sweet family, thank you again for letting me capture her birth day!
