How to tell stories of your family through imagery.. Try it at home on a weekend or when the kids are on break from school! Start with a fun activity. Get a wide, pulled back shot to set the scene. Come in closer to show what is happening.  Get detail shots of tiny hands at […]

Editing consistency is important if you want to establish your own particular style. Everyone’s style is different, and mine is on the light and airy side. I like to use film, digital and my phone for taking photos and want the same style to be reflected through my images on all mediums. Over the last several years, […]

This beautiful momma and her little boy are so adorable together, waiting with sweet anticipation to meet the newest addition to their family, a baby girl. We had the dreamiest maternity session right in my backyard. I wanted a minimalist feel, using a simple white sheet hanging from some hedges while momma wore a flowy white dress.

An in-home tropical paradise location with some really beautiful mother daughter moments! I loved this sweet session! I feel like I am finding my groove with the Portra family of film stocks. I still have some Fuji 400h I am not quite ready to part ways with, but Portra is becoming a new friend! Shot […]

In the thick of it with these two little ones! All the snuggles and smiles that come with six months. Baby turned lady and the assertion of independence that come with two years. Believe it or not, these are days that will surely be missed. Soak in every single bit of it!
