The basement of my home wasn’t always a baby photo studio… not by a long shot. This space has gone through MANY iterations during its time, from a cement-floored storage space, to a fully outfitted apartment that housed a nursing student for a couple of years and then a young married couple who was saving […]

I love all things baby. If it has to do with a baby, I want to be involved. Photographing them has become second nature to me. It’s weird how I always have nerves before photographing maternity sessions or family sessions but baby sessions never make me nervous. I think it’s because the maternity and family […]

The bond between a mother and child is so special and unique. It begins during pregnancy and continues to grow throughout the child’s life. This bond is formed through a combination of biological, emotional, and social factors. Dads may feel like they’re being left out of some pretty important stuff because they don’t get to […]

Today we’re going to talk Bucket List Photo Locations. I’ve been in business since March of 2017 so I’ve done a LOT of photo sessions. When you’re first starting out, you shoot anywhere that the client wants. Oh, I’ve shot in so many places that I look back on now and shake my head at. […]

Today we’re going to talk about when you should reschedule your photo session. I have to be honest here…I’m not one of those hard core, heavy duty photographers who will shoot in tornados and gale force winds and epic snow storms. That’s just not my style and I know that about myself. My clients know […]

Sitter sessions are my favorite. (Okay, I have lots of favorites, don’t go taking me literally – my other blogs will contradict me.) Sitter sessions really are ones that I look forward to for a bunch of reasons, the highlight of which is no stranger danger here! So…what do I like about baby sitter sessions? […]

Oh, beautiful Hope. This was my second time photographing this darling, spunky little girl for her two year milestone session. I met Hope and her parents in June of 2018 when I did her one year photos. She started that session a little apprehensive and unsure of the stranger who was clicking a black box […]
