I was almost to my meeting location and I got a text saying, “We are meeting at the James Memorial, right? Panic sets in I look at my watch and its almost 7:30 pm, what time did I say I was meeting? Gah! I find the text and I said 7:15 pm. I pull up […]

In-home newborn family sessions, are a great way to get pictures of your life at that time. It doesn’t mean you need to clean your house top to bottom, because let’s face it- you are barely sleeping at night! One room with good light is more than enough. The baby is at ease at home […]
