Family & Kids

The further I get from the newborn stage with my own kids (now 7 and 4), the more astonished I am with how tiny humans start out. I know my own kids were once that small, but, gosh, newborns are really small! Aylo is named after her great-grandmother and it’s a name that I find […]

Their snowy engagement session is one that continues to inspire others to also embrace winter shoots! […]

Kourtney had first contacted me back in the late summer about doing newborn photos for their family when she gave birth to their second child sometime in November. I offered her a few referrals for traditional newborn photos, but she was looking for more of a lifestyle type session, which I was happy to offer! […]
