Wedding & Portrait Photographer
One of my first fresh 48 sessions after covid shut the hospitals down to visitors. And it was a goooood one. Sweet little Braeden was a gem. Sleeping only when he felt like he wasn’t going to miss something.
A few days later we did his newborn photos and I couldn’t have loved these anymore. I mean… the LIGHT. It was a beautiful morning and I couldn’t get enough of this yawning babe.
The biggest honor I get in life is when past couples hire me for their life memories and some of their biggest moments as couples.
The facial expressions on this kid was top notch! I have never met a more chill baby! Like look at that first picture. Hands under his head, a little smirk.
Just gonna leave these here.. with their sweet pups too!
I absolutely love this sweet family - I was so excited to capture them going from a family of three to four.
Its been an absolute pleasure to work with Katy & Nick since Amelia was a newborn!
I had a blast exploring their new home and utilizing the AMAZING natural light that it had. Since Katy is a photographer herself I figured natural light would be easy to come by.
I cant wait to capture more memories for these guys and to grow my friendship with them!
I love the Amelia picked up her camera and wanted to participate in the photo taking fun! One of my most favorite families and sessions! <3
I have never had a beach session where I delivered over 400 images…that was until this galley. I have followed this family before they had their little guy here, so to do this session was an absolute blast.
1000% one of my favorite sessions. Just look at those smiles.
Have you ever taken family photos at a mum farm? If you haven’t you need to! Its a must in life.
I love sessions where people incorporate places that mean the most to them. The Hennings own this mum farm, and it has grown to be a beautiful family business! It was awesome to see first hand what they do!
This makes top ten favorite extended family sessions by far!
OH goodness. Look at this sweet little man!
I know covid ruined fresh 48’s but lifestyle newborn sessions are still a thing thankfully! <3 <3
Ill stop yapping. Heres those sweet pictures!
Okay, I LOVE family lifestyle sessions. It doesnt have to be cold for you to enjoy a cozy evening inside with the kiddos having a dance party and cuddling on the couch! Loved meeting this sweet family!
I went a little crazy with their blog post <3 But the kids are adorable.
This sun soaked family session was one of the best summer sessions <3
Although little miss didnt smile so much, her parents were cute enough to make up for that! <3
This was one of my favorites! The sun was PERFECT!
OKAY. Kristy & Ezra are another past couple… and can I just say.. I LOVE that my past wedding couples still come to me for their growing family photos! <3
Loved meeting their sweet new addition. I know it was a HOT night at the beach that night, but the sunset sure put on a show!
Hands down… favorite smash cake. 2020 has been a crappy year but its really pushed my creativity and set the bar high for awesome sessions like this! Jessica & Adam were a past couple of mine and already are celebrating this little chunks first birthday! This sweet baseball themed smash cake was SO fun.
It started to rain about 10 mixtures before we were done with the session, but the sky did some pretty cool things afterward.
The first beach session of the year, did not disappoint. AT ALL.
I love this sweet family - it has been a year since I had seen them and I didnt realize how much I missed faces up until this point in quarantine… Matts face is nice and all but I missed other faces!
I just love EVERYTHING about this whole gallery. I could not even narrow down their gallery to less than 400 images, so I knew their blog would be huge as well!
OOOOOOOH the Castillo Family… I love them dearly. I have LOVED watching little Nina grow this past year..
Greenhouse Minis were a HUGE hit this year, and im SO going to be doing these again next year! I loved them!
I am just going to leave these here… cause squishy Nina is literally the cutest.
I never thought that my first session back after the world pretty much stopped… would be so. so. SO good. I legit sat in my car and cried after. You truly don’t know how much you miss what you truly love to do, until you cant do it.
The few weeks of not working was rough. I was SO excited that we were able to get this session in. It felt amazing to create art again. And I LOVE this family. LOVE them.
The sun was beautiful, the weather was great. It literally was a perfect way to kick start working again. I have been busy ever since and im grateful. <3
The Reeb family is near and dear to my heart. I got to know Bridget and Tom at all of our mutual Sandy Pines weddings over the last couple of years. They. are. the sweetest!
Bridget and Tom were also our DJ’s for our wedding last May. Everyone had such a good time and complimented me for days on how awesome our DJ’s were! If I could relive that night over and over again I would. <3
I loved finally getting to meet their boys! They have such awesome personalities and they are just like their parents.
My longest ever friend had a baby a few months back, and im just now getting around to blogging about it!
This was the first lifestyle session I have done without natural light, and im digging the contrast and lighting!
Im sure this little nugget is getting bigger and bigger every day! <3
I was so excited to once again be apart of a Garner family baptism! Kyrie was baptized just a few weeks ago. <3
I was so excited to meet the Jensen family just a few weeks ago! Hayley wanted a session in Chicago before they moved later this year. This session was CRAZY! We got about 35 minutes into the session and some FOG rolled in. It was the coolest thing. I absolutely loved this session. Loved this family. I wish them all the best in their new adventure!
Its been a hot minute since I have seen this adorable family! Since, they have added a new addition!
They were my first beach session of the season <3 I loved it so much!
The light was perfect. The family was perfect.
I was so excited to get another lifestyle newborn session!
Mom and Dad had the perfect nursery set up for her, so much natural light!
This has to be my favorite lifestyle session to date.. Look at those facial expressions. <3
Wedding season is quickly approaching and I have slim to nothing as far as open session dates for family sessions. I LOVE these family sessions, so if you have an open day during the week, and the kids dont have any sport practice or you dont have to work late. Book a session! I want to be able to pack as many sessions into summer and fall as I can. Weddings aren’t the only thing I do ;)
