I love working with this beautiful family, and I’m so excited for them that they are growing by another baby boy this Fall! This soon-to-be mama-of-two was as glowing as the gorgeous sunset behind her. It was a lovely shoot combining both family and maternity shots.
The C Family - Family Maternity Session
It was a pleasure to meet the C family for their family mini session, with a special feature on mom’s baby bump. They are such a lovely family, and big-brother-to-be Sam was so photogenic and well-behaved, that his excitement for his baby sibling showed right through his sweet smile.
The family doesn’t know what they’re having, so I’m extra excited to hear from them to schedule their newborn session. Blue or pink…what do you think!?
The M Family - Family Photography Mini Session
This sweet little guy was constantly on the move, but it was worth the chase to capture his smiles! What a sweet boy Nicholas is! These pictures come just ahead of his 2nd birthday.
I offer mini-sessions year-round. They are exactly half of a full session in time, edited images, and price, so they are a great option for families with toddlers who, let’s face it, just can’t hang for a full hour-long session. I get it - I’m in that stage of life too! If you have questions, check out the Pricing page on the website for more info, or reach out!
The Q Family - Family Photography Session
There are so many little gifts that nature gives us in each season. During the late summer, I am absolutely in love with the flower fields in our area. The grass is high, and many of the plants (like this patch of some kind of milkweed) are starting to shed their seeds. The days are still long and warm, and the sun is still casting gold on all of the magical, floating pods that drift like angel feathers in the summer breeze. It is poetry in a picture, and I am so glad the Q kids decided to play in these milkweeds!
Candid shots are always my favorite, and the Q family gave me some gorgeous ones, along with perfect poses, as well.
Adrian is One! - First Birthday Photography
It was so fun working with Adrian and his family over the past year as I’ve documented his first year of life. We had an absolutely dreamy golden sunset in the forest to capture his First Birthday pictures. His family wanted this setting to reflect their love of the outdoors, as they often hike together bringing Adrian along, and his birthday theme of “Wild One”. He was a champ, and so well behaved the entire time. His sweet little babbles and coos were melting my heart.
Happy 1st Birthday, Adrian!
Luca & Laken Are Six Months! - Baby Photography Session
After pushing their 6 month photos back two months due to quarantine, I was so excited to finally photograph the adorable Luca and Laken for their Six Month (but really almost Eight Month) session. It was so fun to see how they have grown since their newborn session this past fall. They were so sweet, smiley, and playful. I was happy to see that they weren’t afraid of me in my mask!
They hung in there for the entire session in good spirits. Can’t wait to see this duo again for their First Birthday!
Laura - Senior Portrait Mini Session
The Class of 2020 has a special place in my heart for what they’re experiencing right now. I couldn’t imagine having those milestones of senior year taken away so suddenly, especially after all the work they’ve undoubtedly put into reaching them.
I first photographed Laura in the summer of 2019, and we had an amazing session. It was a beautiful evening, and we covered three different looks for her portraits. Then, when coronavirus hit, and everything came screeching to a halt, Laura learned that she would not receive the JROTC portraits that the school had planned on taking, so her mom reached out to me for one more session. I was happy to help her out, so she’d be able to have some pictures of herself in her uniform before she was scheduled to return it.
Our session was super quick and easy, but so important so that she could have these memories captured. I’d be happy to help out any 2020 senior who would like just a few more photos to add to their senior picture gallery. Whether it be a school uniform, a prom look, or a cap and gown…please reach out to me if you’re looking to schedule a mini session to capture these senior moments that deserve to be remembered.
Knox is One! - First Birthday Photography
It’s been 2 months since I’ve photographed anyone, and it felt so good to be back at it with sweet Baby Knox as my first client since our “new normal” began. I last photographed Knox as a newborn in his home. For his First Birthday session, we ultimately planned for an outdoor location due to the new restrictions, and we had such a lovely evening for the session with beautiful purple blossoms and streams of golden sunlight. Knox was super smiley, and thankfully, wasn’t at all afraid of the lady in the mask photographing him.
Happy 1st Birthday, Knox!
Rachel - Senior Portrait Session
I really enjoyed photographing this stunningly beautiful high school senior, and learning about her time competing in Irish Dance. The stories of the trips and long days competing brought back memories of my own competitive dance days. Rachel started her session in a gorgeous shade of green, and later changed to her Irish dance costume, which features a golden butterfly. I learned that each Irish dance costume is slightly different and customized to feature a design that relates to the dancer. Many of the costumes, like Rachel’s, are hand-made in Ireland.
Congratulations on all your accomplishments, Rachel!
Annie is Three! - Child Photography
Children like Annie make my job easy! She was an absolute joy to photograph - so effortlessly sweet, and a good listener too! I love her dress which matched her birthday theme of THREE-historic times.
Happy 3rd Birthday, Annie!
Adelyn is One! - First Birthday Photography
Adelyn is One! This girl knows how to celebrate! She prefers to just dive right in to her cake, and savor each bit. A metaphor for life! Sometimes we can learn a lot from babies. :) Happy 1st Birthday, Adelyn! It was a pleasure having you in the studio!
Peyton is One! - First Birthday Photography
Sweet Little Peyton brought the smiles for her First Birthday Session, and my favorite part of it was the one singular tooth poking through her gums. Sooo cute! A moment in time her parents are sure to want to look back on forever. It was a pleasure capturing this sweetie and her sweet-tooth!
Happy 1st Birthday, Peyton!
Harper is Two! - Child Photography
I love Harper’s sweet little “cheese!” smile! Her beautiful blue eyes popped against the blue sky for her rainbow-themed mini session, and that little grin made her almost TWO cute to handle!
Connor is One! - First Birthday Photography
First Birthday sessions are some of my favorite sessions! One-year-olds are always filled with so much personality, and it’s always fun to see where that will take the session. Connor’s bright blue eyes are so dreamy to capture in photographs! Happy 1st Birthday, Little Guy! I hope to see more of you in the next year too!
Maximus Cain - Newborn Photography Session
Baby Max was my last session of 2019! He arrived a few weeks earlier than planned, and is so loved! It was evident that his mommy and older siblings, especially his sisters, are absolutely smitten with him.
Welcome to the world, Max!
Grayson is One! - First Birthday Photography
Before Christmas, and in the midst of Holiday Session madness, this little guy turned one! I got to spend some time with him in the studio for his fun little cake smash. He was on the move, crawling all over the place, but the cake caught his interest, and he very calmly examined the icing. Grayson had a First Year Special package with me, so I was able to photograph him as a newborn, 6-month-old, and 1-year-old! It’s been a pleasure watching him grow!
Happy 1st Birthday, Grayson!
The P Family - Family Photography Session
The P Family had lots of gorgeous shots during their session. Sweet little Millie was such a doll - I love her outfit! It was a pleasure meeting them for a magical sunset session in Cranberry Woods!
Aubrey Mae - Newborn Photography
Sweet Baby Aubrey was such a joy to photograph. Such a content baby. Her big sister Mackenzie was equally as fun with her sweet personality. Such a beautiful family, in an equally gorgeous home. I used to be nervous about in-home sessions because there are so many things out of the photographer’s control…mainly lighting and background! But now I look at it as a fun challenge for me to find the perfect shot, and I always enjoy the results. Shooting at home gives the client a chance to be super comfortable, and their ease and happiness comes across in the pictures more naturally. Plus, they can incorporate some elements that may be too big to transport to the studio, like that gorgeous wicker bassinet, which was used by Aubrey’s daddy as a baby. I always love a family heirloom in photos.
Thank you for having me, C Family! Welcome to the world, Aubrey Mae!
The S Family - Family Portrait Session
My friend Mandy and her adorable family are always so fun to photograph. Look at those little boys! They’re so sweet. The setting sun through the trees was the perfect setting to compliment these warm smiles.
The C Family - Family Portrait Session
The C Family got one of the last warm days of the Fall for their family portraits. The sun was shining, and the leaves were still vibrantly falling from the trees. It was a beautiful background for a beautiful family. Their boys are so adorable!
