Fall Family Session

This session was a very active and very fun one! Whenever there is a toddler involved, you should expect sessions to be this way. I was excited from the minute we scheduled this session because it had been a while since I photographed a family with a toddler. Mom was very aware of how sessions with toddlers roll - they are in charge basically! I was actually looking forward to following him around and working hard for some great expressions and smiles while he was in action. 

We split the session between trying to get some family portraits and letting the boys just be boys. Big brother had quite a bit of energy, too. Both boys were super sweet and, despite the heat that evening, gave great expressions, put up with my pretty horrible jokes, and had fun, too!


A few family shots to get started...


LOVE LOVE LOVE the light in this image!

My favorite image of big brother

Love his curls - which have been cut now. So glad they thought to capture him with the curls. He looks more grown up without them. (Something to consider when you are thinking about your own session)

Kids love to play on these "rusty, old wheel things".

Done for now! Have a great weekend!

Senior Artist

I was thrilled when my neighbor began talking with me about taking senior pictures of her daughter. They had already had some photos done through school, but they really wanted the pictures to reflect who she was. We talked and shared ideas about the session beforehand (in person and through Pinterest.)

The day of the session the weather was fantastic and so was my model. I had a great time working with her - she was fantastic!

Her mother gave me the sweetest card afterwards and I hope she doesn't mind if I quote her here: "You captured her beauty, creativity, talent and inner beauty. I will treasure these photos for years to come."

This is what I hope to do for each of my clients. I am so glad that I could do it for them. :)
