5 What to Wear Outfits for Mom for Fall

When guiding my amazing clients through what to wear for their portrait sessions, I tell mom to start with herself.  I encourage her to find something that she can move and pick up babies in, she can sit on the ground in, bend over in, and over all move around comfortably in.  I also want […]

High School Senior Beach Photos

She’s finally a senior! What an interesting/challenging year of high school it has been. It’s usually the year that you have the most fun with the best friends and work the hardest planning the following year. This gorgeous young lady is balancing school, a job, her acrobatic cheer team, and applying to the colleges of […]

Fancy Beach Photos

My goodness. Another family’s plans for a bat mitzvah was cancelled due to COVID. When will it end?! As Ross on F.R.I.E.N.D.S reminded us, we “piv-ot!” This was not the original plan, but mom sure did her thing, and after all the many months she spent planning were cancelled last minute, she planned a brand […]

Beach Club Family Photos

If there was a formula for a perfect family session (don’t we all wish!), it would probably go something like this: First, get the perfect morning session on the beach with a picturesque grassy sand dune. Then, add in the most gorgeous light, peeking right over the dune, and lastly, add in an adorable family […]

Breezy Point Family Photos

One of my greatest joys is getting to know my client families, and it is one of my favorite parts of being a photographer. These are people who I provably wouldn’t have crossed paths with if it weren’t for my camera, but I am so glad that I get to hear their stories. The other […]

Big Move?

I know that many of you have caught wind that my family and I were trying to move out of state this summer.  Weeellll, things did not go according to plan and I am still here. I was so excited about this move.  My oldest is going off to college in a couple of weeks […]

Grown up Family Photos on the Beach!

I loved meeting this lovely family! I got a call recently, because these sweet grown-up sisters wants to create some special photos for their parent’s anniversary. What a sweet idea, and I loved getting to help them dream up what their parents would love. Originally, we were going to meet up at sunrise, and they […]

All White Beach Family Photos

Let me be honest with you for a moment: I usually try to talk people out of everyone wearing white for their family beach session. It brings back memories of 1990’s denim and white photos, that now look dated, and the sun reflects off pure white clothing, which makes it glaring sometimes. I recommend a […]

Birthday Photoshoot: Happy 30th!

You know what I love? When strong, empowered women celebrate themselves, for any reason! It’s so easy to forget to high five ourselves and give ourselves a shout out for any little or big thing. Girls, please remember how great you are outside of being a daughter, a mom, a friend, a wife, an employee, a […]
