I just love this family. I was able to photograph Jeff and Ashley’s wedding, and now that they have added to their family, I am thrilled to be able to photograph them all again! Baby Bellamie (don’t you just love that name?!!) was born only a few weeks ago and was perfect for her first session. She even gracefully showed off her feather and fabric headbands and sweet -tu and hardly even cried. I am looking forward to seeing this family grow!
For the next week or so I will be highlighting families from my short and sweet sessions. I just adore these sessions because they are what they say: Short and Sweet. For toddlers they are excellent, because their attention span is about 20-30 minutes and who-laah, just when they are done, so am I!
I just love the Sharbono’s. I was able to get to know them through a previous job and since then we have all moved on. Addie was born 3 years ago and she is just a sweetie! When we did her one year photos she introduced me to her duckie, and it is still being loved on!
love this family! Beautiful shots!
Can I just say I love my clients?!! It was a great weekend to see many of you! More to come next week, thank you again for coming out this weekend, it was great to see your families!

I just love adoption. The very word and meaning are true and dear to my heart. The outpouring of love comes from opening up a family’s world and allowing another person or people to enter. The Johnson’s have not only opened up their home once, but seven times to children needing families. They are an amazing example to me, and came to their winning shoot full of love for each other! Between all eight of their children I saw respect, love, compassion and joy. Barb and Chris, you are amazing parents and examples. Thanks for allowing me into your crazy-fun world!
Great pictures! I love this family – so much joy!
I met Noel and Paul a few years ago at a friend’s party. There we realized that we were neighbors! Our kids have been able to play together and get to know each other as they have grown. (Jack still calls Ben “baby Ben”) Loving children, Paul and Noel felt called to adopt an older child from over seas and 7 year old Darius was referred to them. The fell in love right away and as I photographed their new family together, I couldn’t help but see the resemblance of the two boys, completely destined for each other. Much love to you all as you grow together!
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!
