After a bunch of cancellations due to scheduling and weather and anniversary plans, I finally got to meet up with this wonderful family a few weeks ago. Despite half of them recovering from the flu and poor Liana having pneumonia, they were as chipper and fun and photogenic as ever, and having their new puppy […]

Karolina was one of the first friends I made once I became a mom. Her son Nicholas and my boy Calder are just a few short months apart, and in those long early days of new motherhood, I spent many mornings in her kitchen, guzzling coffee and discussing strollers and preschools and diapers (and plenty […]

I love all shapes and sizes of weddings, but I have a special place in my heart for couples who have found each other in a whole new chapter. Dust and Carol got married on a recent sunny Saturday surrounded by their friends, family (including 11 of Dust’s 13 siblings!), and their own children, who […]

I have just finished charging batteries, cleaning lenses, and packing up all of my gear for three days in a row of weddings, but I thought I would lead off the weekend with a post about this wonderful family. I met Mark and Tara a few years ago when I photographed their sweet children Peyton […]

I met Camerin’s mom Alicia on the beach where we both walk our dogs every morning. I was really hoping that I would get hired to do doggie portraits as both of her dogs are seriously cute, but I think working with Camerin for her senior portraits was still pretty cool. We met at their […]

This shoot happened at practically dark o’clock; Marie and I had been going back and forth with some dates and nothing was working because of the kid’s sport schedules, so we settled on a morning shoot (which, frankly, is my favorite) and despite some good-natured grumbling from the teenagers, was a huge success. It doesn’t […]

Grace is the middle of three wonderful sisters that I have been working with for several years — her senior year came up on me quickly, but I am so thrilled that I got to hang out with her on this gorgeous afternoon. She completely embodies her name and I am pretty sure she’s going […]

After a FULL YEAR of back and forth due to crazy sports schedules, Kathleen and I finally nailed down a date for me to hang out with her four amazing kids (who *still* had to miss practice to fit this in). Elle, Jane, Thomas, and Reese are so much fun and we were lucky to […]

How great is it that Matt came all the way from Texas just to have me take his senior photos? 😉 I’m kidding. I think maybe there were some other things on their agenda while they were here, but it was really nice to have a chance to see this family while they were back […]

It’s the same every year — I start working with this year’s rising senior class, and I start realizing that I knew some of these kids when they were 7 or 8 and I was just starting the business, and HOW did they get so big? And when did I get so OLD? It’s a […]
