I was able to photograph Shannon’s beautiful little girl in February ( see HERE) and she booked me for another session, which was like a 3 in 1 session. 1) To capture Alison’s 6 month photos 2) as a generation photo and 3) Alison and her mom and dad! We did it all within an hour and Alison was smiling the entire time, she was a wonderful little baby! Thanks for allowing me in on your beautiful family.
So yes, I will admit, I am so behind on posting photos of my kids. But as a promise, I am posting more! For Ben’s first birthday (in November; yes I know it is almost May!) We did the cake and the boy demolished the piece that we gave him. One of the huge differences that we have already seen is the way boys and girls do things. Both girls picked carefully at their cake until they realized what it was. Not Ben, he went full force into the thing and devoured it, every last piece!
Hope this ends your week off well. I am back from vacation tomorrow and can NOT wait to post photos from the wedding. A sneak peek to arrive on Thursday!!
these are ADORABLE. you guys are the most fun parents– look at that delicious frosting in his hair! 🙂
I feel the same way about cake, you know Ben…
So we did celebrate Easter, with eggs and all… 2 weeks ago! While taking these I thought, “I have to post these on Monday so I will feel on top of everything.” Did that happen, no… Oh well, I am still posting them!
I took these photos of the kids after the whole process of looking good and egg hunting was over. I have to say this is the norm around our house after a busy Sunday. We were all just relaxing and of course, the girls’ hair is a mess, but all natural! Have a great weekend!
I am realizing that I have not been posting photos of my kids. last week I went to a PPA meeting and the speaker said it correctly: Sometimes as photographers we get bombarded with statements like “Wow, I bet you take so many photos of your kids”, or “I bet you have so many photos hanging all over your house.” I resonated with her because I do get this a lot (don’t feel bad if you have asked me!) but the answer to both of these statements is, no, actually I wish I had more! So, this moth I am challenging myself to be more pro-active in taking more photos of my kids. And if I am telling you, oh internet, then I will be taking more of my kids and sharing more of my life experience with you!
Here is one of Ben from this past winter. One of those days we just needed to get out of the house. Gotta love the ball-pits!
This family is near and dear to my heart. Erika and I were roommates in college with 7 other girls. She is one of the dearest, most sincere, caring, loving people I know. We saw Charlie come into the picture and he was a perfect fit for her. Cayce entered their world last June and is such a lovable boy. He made me melt throughout the entire session with his continued smiles and laughs. I am thrilled to watch this beautiful family blossom as they will be expecting their second late fall/ early winter!
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.

Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
