“It was at about this point – as I sat with my camera & watched them interact – that I remembered just how important this is. Phoebe won’t be so little for so long, and seeing them become a family of 3 and then simply spending time together has been so special. Capture these moments, people!”

“For obvious reasons, Kate likes to say, “POWERRR TO THE PEOPLLLE!” when Journey sticks her fist up like this (below). I love that early empowerment – you go, Journey girl! …”

“Baby Wonder Woman, astounded by cats. Who knew? …”

“AND THESE KITE PHOTOS… If I had the opportunity to take photos like this every day, my heart would be set for life. Seriously. Did your heart flutter as much as mine did seeing these photos? That authentic interaction, a parent playing with their child and having genuine, simple fun… these are perfect examples of why I love lifestyle photography more than posed photos. I enjoy capturing both styles of photos – but man. There’s just something about capturing these real moments of engagement and love. …”

“These two lovely people are so near and dear to my heart. I’ve known Heaven since fifth grade, and she and Russell started dating while we were in high school. We’ve supported each other through a lot and have spent many sleepovers together eating cookie dough, making forts, and putting things that we probably shouldn’t have in bonfires that were probably bigger than they should have been. …”

“While Olivia was super cute as a newborn and adorably giggly as a 6-month-old, her 1 year session is when I really started to see her sweet personality. She shared so many smiles as she practiced walking and many laughs as she played with her parents! She even gave us some spit bubbles on the back porch! 🙂 …“

“This is what I love. I’ve crafted the New Life Collection so that I can capture and share your baby’s growth across his or her precious first year of life, so that you have prints and a photo book to look back on these memories forever, and so that I am able to selfishly sneak in and live small moments of this tender time with you. / Today’s post holds Olivia’s newborn photos, with her 6 month photos and 1 year photos to come in future posts! Enjoy! …”

“Photo books come with a custom cover including the fabric color of your choice (the same fabric offerings as the image boxes, so you can coordinate!) and a photo from your session or wedding, both wrapped around the edges of the book for a clean finish. Choose an iconic photo that represents this time in your life well, and choose a fabric color that coordinates with your home! The fabric wraps around to cover the entire back of the book, and the image on the cover has a very smooth, soft-to-the-touch feel. I wish I could let you feel it as you read this post, but that will have to wait until we meet in person! …”

“It’s been a pleasure being by their side as their family grew with a little girl, and I’ve loved capturing moments for them as Kellay neared the end of her pregnancy and just a few days after they had Harbor. These photos are from October 2017 – the newborn photos taken only 2 weeks after the maternity ones! …”

“Framed art is available in 5×7″, 8×10″, 11×14″, 16×20″, and 20×24″ options with your choice of frame and mat. Having trouble visualizing those sizes? I have samples that I can hold up to a wall in your home – this makes it so much easier to picture your own art hanging there! You’d be surprised how small an 11×14″ or even 16×20″ photo can look in the space above your couch, but I work with you to find the best size for your needs. …”
