I got to join Erin and her daughter Sarah this morning for their horseback riding lessons. Riding is a long time passion of Erin’s that she is thrilled to share with her daughter. Sarah was excited to show me around and introduce me to all the horses, and I loved getting to hear the history…

A session on a family farm during daily chores has been a dream of mine for years. The idea of it aligned so well with my philosophy about family photography. When Amanda reached out to me about the idea of photographing her son’s evening chores at her parents’ farm, I couldn’t wait to be there…

Every month with each of these families is better than the next. I’m so honored to be a small part of their lives and so grateful to have each of them as an extension of my own family story. This month we celebrated a graduation, went school shopping, had a picnic in the woods, had…
