I can so vividly remember being pregnant for the first time and attempting to hold my pants together with a hair elastic for months until my belly made it very obvious that maternity clothes were a necessity. It was on a snowy Saturday that my Mom and I went on an adventure to find me […]

Although I photograph a lot of first-time parents, it’s actually very common for me to receive an email that goes something along the lines of: This is our second baby and we also have a toddler who is VERY busy. For our first baby, we did newborn photos in a studio, but we cannot even […]

I have a serious love of combining old and new. My house is evidence of that – my walls are lined with vintage photos and mementoes combined with images I’ve made within the last year, and seeing my family’s history sitting right next to my own kids makes my heart happy.

Before our newborn session… Before any newborn session, I meet the parents-to-be in their home so that we can get to know each other a little bit before they welcome their new love and their lives are forever changed.

Although it was almost 7 years ago now, I can so clearly remember being pregnant for the first time and having about a zillion question and thoughts rolling around in my brain at all times. Should we buy a bassinette? Will my baby really need a tiny bath tub? Do I need more than 10 […]
