Modern Studio Maternity Session

Nothing like a baby bump, huh? I loved having that sweet bump, and really enjoyed being pregnant. I know not everyone has a positive experience with things like morning sickness or struggles, but the miracle of a new baby is always something special! It’s a time filled with anticipation and joy, and parents who are […]

High School Senior Portraits

Many of us parents, as we speak, are in the process of our babies leaving the nest! What an unique time of our lives, when we are getting ready to send those high school seniors off on their own in just a few months. It is a time filled with lots of big feelings and […]

Professional Headshot Session

The colors you wear really make such a difference! I have noticed that some people really know what colors work for them, and when they were them, they shine! They are totally radiant. That was the case for this gorgeous gal. She knew that jewel-toned green was amazing on her, and it WAS! When we […]

Romantic At Home Engagement Session

There are many special milestones in life, and this couple just celebrated two of them: an engagement and purchasing their first home! What an unique time in their lives, and the perfect time to do a romantic, in-home engagement session. I love using people’s homes when I can, because it’s where you feel most comfortable […]

Men’s Headshots

Before I began doing headshots as a big part of my business, I had mistakenly thought they would be boring. I couldn’t have been more wrong! I now really love being one on one with a client in the studio, and getting to capture their personality. There are no distractions with headshots, no fancy tricks, […]

Whenever I am lucky enough to spend time with an adorable, snuggly little baby, I have to warn the parents that I might get a little goofy! I always remind them that my children are so grown up (already 14 and 17), and I sure miss having a little one to play with and hold. […]

40th Birthday? No problem!

Turning 40 is something a lot of people joke about. They call it going “over the hill”, and act like it is something terrible. But this gorgeous lady wanted to turn it into a POSITIVE, and show off some serious self-love. This amazing lady is hitting that big 4-0 milestone, and she is thrilled! This […]

Family Photos | Formal Communion Portraits

This is yet another stellar example of a Mom who wanted to celebrate a special occasion with gorgeous family portraits! She opted for a more formal look, and I can barely stand how absolutely stunning they are. I felt a little like I was photographing a celebrity family. Is it a little unfair how good-looking […]

Usually, we do first communion photos in the church, but as we all know, things are different this year. So, we pivoted and chose a creative and different location to celebrate this little lady’s first communion. She is spunky, kind, and beautiful, and she chose this beach location for her celebration session. She is wearing […]
