My time with this family this past fall was perfect in every way. The sun shined on us, the foliage was beautiful and the family was so effortlessly beautiful and natural. Fall can be a very busy time of year and I know that I sometimes get too caught up in the hustle and bustle of busy season to appreciate all of the things around me. So today I am thankful for the ability to rest, reflect and be thankful for what we were able to create.
I loved meeting and photographing this special family. I'm beyond blessed to have so many clients that trust me to come into their home to capture their lives during milestone events or even just life as it is at the time because when kiddos are little, they just don't keep. I really feel the most in my wheelhouse when those families are comfortable being themselves and I can truly just capture the moments as they unfold. I think it's natural for most people to feel that the best photos will be at a gorgeous location full of tall grass and pretty trees (and I don't totally disagree because god knows I love sun!), but some of my favorite ever sessions take place in clients homes, so I encourage you all to consider an in-home session when thinking about locations for your next family photos...
Don't you just love when you get to meet genuinely good kind people? These are those people. They were waiting on their new little boy to arrive and I had the honor of capturing this special time for them.
I don't think I can describe just how much I love new studio. It's bright, refreshing, relaxing and such a great backdrop for babies and families. This bed (I'll let you in on a little secret- it's really an air mattress!!) is such a great place for sibling shots too. I couldn't be more thrilled with this place and just can't believe I waited so long to make it a reality!
I photographed big brother and sister a couple of times, and was more than excited to welcome their little brother into their sweet family. This photo right here is definitely a fave. Why didn't I have this studio when my girls were babies?

I was honored to photograph 3 local seniors who will be graduating this May and going on to college to pursue their gymnastics careers. What an exciting time in their life! I was an athlete myself in high school and college, but it still blows my mind to see the work ethic that these athletes put into their sport. So inspiring!
