I remember the night that we decided: one more baby. Over a glass of wine, on a date at our favorite Indian restaurant I finally verbalized what had been swimming around in my head…should we or shouldn’t we? I can honestly say I didn’t really want...

These two. They each have a little bit of their momma in them. We’ve been friends for (gasp) almost 2 decades? (Yes, we met as small children…Ahem). Anyway, these two gorgeous babes of hers…I just love them to pieces. And that hair, how is he not MY...

These two. Truly, madly, deeply…and so sweet. Married at The Barn at Raccoon Creek, this summer day could not have been more beautiful. Every detail so thoughtfully considered. I was honored to capture their day and as my first big job after maternity leave I...

As a second grader, she’s an old pro. The 1st day of the 1st week of school started by taking this sweet girl to her bus stop. She posed with her friends… Climbed on the bus and off she went. (Don’t ask what could possibly be...

Knowing that the pain is indescribable. Knowing it’s a marathon that no training can prepare you for. Knowing that there’s always at least one fearful moment. Knowing that ‘birth plan’ is an oxymoron. Somehow, despite knowing all of this, I...

No better way to come back from a ‘maternity leave’ than to jump right in and photograph a wedding. I am so excited to photograph Josh and Leah tomorrow as they take their own plunge and say ‘I do’. As I sit here trying to cool off on this near...

I was going to do this self portrait session yesterday, but I didn’t feel good. I was utterly exhausted and had zero motivation. I just felt…yuck. Last week I found out this baby boy was breech. And I’ve been in a funk ever since. I know it’s...

I can’t emphasize enough how much I love to photograph young families. Small children are just plain awesome, whether they love me or not they certainly keep me on my toes! One might say it’s even exhilarating. This gorgeous family was no exception. These...

I’m pretty sure we captured her first heartbreak on video. We did a gender reveal with the kids and Grace bit into her cupcake first. “Aww” she said with a disappointed swing in her voice. And we knew it was a boy. We all laughed and chattered in...

Jared and I love a newborn cry, it’s so sweet. It’s like their screaming with all of their might but to us it’s muted as though you’re listening through glass. We talked about it before Luke was born, how we couldn’t wait to hear it....

When she stepped out of the car I about died of glee. The shoes. Oh the shoes. But they would have to wait, first she had to greet her groom… and squeeze her soon to be stepson… and let those shoes walk her down the aisle to marry her man. Strike a...

I can’t say it enough, I love a newborn session. I especially love when little baby has an older sibling…like this cutie pie The thing is, sometimes despite how much they love their new little brother or sister, it’s not always easy to share the...

If you happened to see my post on my daughter’s room reveal, you might remember these pinwheel flowers I have hanging on her wall. I actually made these for her 3rd birthday party (she’s 6 now!) as a decoration but I loved them so much I used them in her...

A few weeks back I posted my Boys’ Room Reveal and also talked about how it was just the beginning of decluttering and simplifying our home. Perhaps the room that needed it the most, was my sweet girl’s room. It was always a mess. So we went through her...

The story begins with me needing a photography backdrop for taking head shots. I invested in a nice dark background but I wanted a light colored one as well so I could give my clients the option. I read somewhere to use a canvas paint drop-cloth from Home Depot and...

Last week I posted about our maiden voyage in our new camper. I might have briefly mentioned that our camper is 41 years old, which might lead you to ask why on earth would we buy a camper that was born in the early 70’s? It all started with my neighbor… I...

When I made the decision to participate again in this year’s 31 Days blogging challenge, it was partly because I knew I had a plenty of material from a backlog of projects. One of which is Jack’s birthday party…which was 5 months ago (sheesh). This...

In case you don’t know this part of our story, just over two years ago my husband was laid off from his job. At that point we insanely bravely decided that we would pursue the dream of both owning businesses and working from home. We truly believed this is where...
