I’m so excited to get to share this sweet little man’s newborn session with all of you today! I feel so lucky to have these two new parents as part of my chosen family. Rich and Cassy are so dear to me! We have enjoyed many a dinner and evening of conversation. And I was …
Here Comes Busy Season!
Well tomorrow marks my last free weekend until mid to late November. I’m super grateful for all the work coming up to help pay for our extra Marlee expenses, but I’ll be real – I’m a little nervous too! October is always the busiest month of the year for photographers. Everyone seems to want …
Product Feature: The Story Wall

Life: Loving My Imperfect Body
The hubby and I have been having some really candid body image conversations lately. It’s a topic that’s important to me as a woman, as someone who struggled (and sometimes still does) with this a lot, and as a mother of a daughter.

She’s the queen of …
Life: Thoughts on Exercise
You know… For years I had an on again, off again relationship with exercise over the years. I found exercise at a young age in an attempt to lose weight and then it became an unhealthy obsession. I found ways to work out as often as possible throughout the day to burn as many calories …
Behind the Scenes: Fine Art – Bringing It Together
So last time – I shared a peek into the actual shoot for the creation of my latest fine art piece. Today I thought I’d show you the next step which is basically going through all the images and talking about how to piece it together. Now I’m not actually compositing anything together in this …
32…
If you’ve been here for any length of time I’m sure you’ve read my birthday posts over the years. You’ll know I’m not a fan of my birthday – not because I hate aging but because I dislike being the center of attention. The past few years have been hard with the infertility struggle and …
Planning Your Session: Location, Location, Location!
I thought it was time we talked about your session location a little bit. I realized I’m always sharing tips on what to wear but your location can be a pretty important piece of your session puzzle too! And the great thing is there are a ton of different options for you to choose from! …
