This little lady is growing like a weed right in front of my eyes! ๐ชด Mama is a photographer too, so we love to get together often to document life as it changes. ๐งก
maternity - M
A few years back it seemed like every summer was spent wedding planning with different friends of mine, and getting the opportunity to take engagement photos of them with their lovers. Fast forward a few years, and the families are starting! Mei is a nature-lovinโ, crafty, take no crap type lady and I love every bit of her. Honored to photograph her in this cute-as-can-be state of pregnancy, and excited to meet the little one sheโs creating.

Back again! Alex has been one of my best friends forโฆ15 years? Holy wow. Seeing her as a mother of two is a pleasure, she is exactly in her element. That goes for her husband, Dan, as well - theyโre both amazing caretakers and givers, and their littles are lucky to have them. (Heck - sheโs even listed as my โmotherโ on facebook, and I donโt plan on changing thatโฆever)
one year portraits - baby R
Iโm petitioning for this baby to hold a TED talk to all other babies - on how to act in front of a camera. She was the cutest, the smiliest, the flirtiest little gal, she made my job a breeze! And mom had some pretty great styling to put the cherry on top of an amazing one year session. :)
In-home newborn session - Baby C
I've always loved babies, but after working with a local in-hospital photography service for the past couple years I've realized how special those first few moments of life are. Babies change so crazy fast that it's so important to document those fleeting moments. And I've learned that even when everything feels like a whirlwind, it'll be those crazy moments that you feel nostalgic for later on.
In-home newborn sessions are one of my favorite things to shoot. Babies are so innately adorable, adding tens of props and odd poses really doesn't do them any justice on their own. So I like to sit back, and document life as it happens. I want to capture those first moments of them in their own crib, dad feeding the baby so mom can finally take a shower, siblings meeting for the first time. Real life doesn't have to be glamorous, but it's emotional and it's beautiful. And you'll be so happy to have those memories documented.
