I’ve lived in New York for 21 years now. And yet every time I am in the city, I still feel like a tourist. That feeling of being a girl from a small town in Indiana in the big city never gets old. PREVIOUS NYC LOCATIONS Working with my fabulous clients has given me the […]
Location When you have four kids and a dog, easy and fun family photos may just be a must. It turns out, the front yard can be the perfect location. First of all, it was pretty. Green and nicely manicured is always a winner. This was a morning session so the sun was coming up […]
I’ll be honest… I don’t know how photographers regularly shoot weddings or even multiple weddings every weekend. It’s a lot of work physically and mentally. But when I do have the pleasure and honor of documenting a couple’s most special day, I absolutely love it. I’m choosy about the couples who I say yes to, […]
A cozy light and bright mini session was not planned. This year was a bit different. I didn’t do a full weekend or even one full day of holiday mini sessions like I usually do. Like this session here. My scheduled filled up fast before I had a chance to put aside a specific day […]
This stunning family has a very special new edition that they wanted to commemorate with bright modern minimalist family photos in the studio that they can display in their home to add warmth and personality to their walls.

They never fail to bring the energy and fun to a shoot, and when there is more than one? Forget about it, and let’s have some fun! […]
I used to believe that headshots for little kids or young teens would be harder than with adults. Headshots rely primarily on small posing adjustments, and sometimes young children are not known for their ability to sit still (nor should they have to). But what I have pleasantly found out is that kids can’t help […]
Here’s a secret: I don’t chase after wedding jobs. That’s honestly been the thing that’s served me well, because the brides and grooms that do find me are special and unique and they’ve crossed my path on purpose. And this cool couple is exactly that. First of all, they looked amazing Have I ever told […]
