Last month I had the pleasure of attending Local Love in Bloom, a small gathering of local creatives and bloggers hosted by FOUND . Laurel from Sweet Laurel helped organize the event and designed and created all the decor, featuring Hester and Cook kitchen papers. Of course my dear friend Kim from The TomKat Studio was there, and provided a tasty raspberry cham[...]

Sweet Hudson boy is the second little bundle for our friends Pat and Diana, I can't even believe years have passed since I snuggled his sister Haper as a newbie. Hudson was so fresh and so new for his session at just 10 days old, it was perfect! We did a mini shoot and are planning a lifestyle session with his whole family soon, I can't wait!

I love when parents contact me months and months ahead of time, then patiently wait for my response, which embarrassingly isn't always as fast as it should be.

Since I don't currently shoot weddings, it isn't often I get to do engagement sessions, and it's a shame. It was so fun to do this session, try something new, and get to know Spencer and Brooke and their love story. I would LOVE to do more of these, there's so much more I want to try; if anyone is interested, let's get in touch ASAP.

Brooke and Garrett contacted me through our mutual photographer friend, Charity, who I had the privilege of photographing when her own little one, Achilles, was born. During our session, I couldn'[...]

entertaining with Coca-Cola
S'mores, campfires, an aspen covered mountain, and Coca-Cola--this speaks to my soul. Some of my best memories are from camping out in the woods with my family and friends, gathered around a smoky fire, with nothing but the sounds of laughter and the river nearby. I realize this styled shoot by The TomKat Studio is holiday inspired, but I love the idea year round,[...]

  I've not kept my love for newborn lifestyle photos much of a secret. I just adore them. I also adore my dear friend Jessica, and feel so lucky to have photographed both her precious girls when they were brand new (see, this is Hailey right here). I have been thinking a lot lately about whether or not I will go back to traditional newborn photos now that Ever[...]
