I have been in contact with Emily, who is the mother of five children, for a few months now. The family has recently moved here from across the country and wanted to document this chapter of their lives.

It is understood that the beauty of a rainbow does not negate the ravages of any storm. When a rainbow appears, it does not mean that the storm never happened or that we are not still dealing with it’s aftermath.

It’s been a while since I’ve done an in home session for a couple. It’s not that I don’t love it, it’s just hard for me to switch gears sometimes. A few months ago, Chelsea of Chelsea Hellen Photography emailed to ask if I would come for an in home session for she and her wife’s…

I got an email from a local mom last month letting me know that they were looking to have a session in their current home because they’ll soon be moving into another one. They’ve been in this house for 10 years, though, and those 10 years have been filled with many, many memories and changes…

The past month or so of my client sessions have been filled with love stories and I’ve absolutely loved the opportunity to tell the story of a family before the children come. It means the world to me to be a part of the early chapters of a family. I love creating these images for…

I met Talia and Garrett about a year ago when they approached me about photographing their wedding. Talia was pretty set on having the day documented exactly the way that it played out.
