One of my favorite parts of a senior session is when I have mom get in the pictures. I have dads do it too, if they come and are willing. I think it’s so important to get these, because so often moms are the ones taking the pictures and so they aren’t in them. Don’t […]

I finally have a day that I can sit down and work on a blog post. I’ve been meaning to get this one done since I took the pictures last Fall!  This shoot was the first time I photographed the Hart family, and we decided on an urban setting. As an added perk of my […]

Fresh 48 sessions are the most emotional and rewarding sessions I get to do. All the anticipation of meeting the new little one… and the fear of how the delivery will go… and the praying up to that point… and finally, the tears of joy when he or she finally makes an entrance into the […]

I was pregnant with my 6th baby when my friend, Jessica, said I should have maternity pictures done. I hadn’t ever considered it. I mean, I have family pictures that I’m pregnant in, but I had never done a maternity shoot. I loved every minute of it! I ordered a couple of dresses and had […]

I think it has been almost 2 years since I had my last family session with the Austreims, when the girls were 6 years old. They have grown 8 inches since, I swear! We decided it would be fun to do a session downtown. Alex and Averi were a blast and game to do whatever […]

So many moments in life are fleeting, but life-long friends are amongst the most special blessings a person can have. So when my friend of nearly 3 decades asked me to take her engagement pictures, I was honored and proud to play a part in showcasing the love between her and her fiancé, Tavish.I know […]

Isabel, Chelsa, and Taylor celebrated the end of the 7th grade by grabbing some yogurt at My Swirl. While hanging out with the girls, I couldn’t help but think about the friends I had at their age. It was at this age that I made friendships I still have today. In fact, most of my friends […]
