That’s where baby milestone photos come to the rescue, freezing those precious moments in time. Let’s dive into the enchanting world of capturing the milestones […]

As a former postpartum and newborn nurse, I have channeled my love of all things baby away from clinical nurse practice and into photography. If you want to see me thrilled, schedule a baby photoshoot with me and watch me turn into a bucket of joy, doing what I love best. There are all kinds […]

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. […]

As a former postpartum and newborn nurse, breastfeeding is near and dear to my heart and, at every opportunity, I offer breastfeeding photo sessions. I breastfed all three of my children for at least a year each. It was the most precious connection to share during that time and, often, I think back and kick […]

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 […]

Hello from your friendly neighborhood light and airy photographer! Usually my blog is a place for clients (past and potential!) to check out my work! Today, however, I’m writing a post for other photographers. See, this past weekend, a dream of mine was realized – my husband built me an LED light wall in my […]

I get it mama. It’s hard to do all the things. I don’t even have a newborn and here I sit still…on the struggle bus. We load so much onto our plates. Homeschooling. Full time photography business. Baseball. Keeping a household of seven alive. It’s a lot. It’s hard to do all the things. Yet […]

Newborn photography is a very special type of photography. It’s a subset of photography that requires hours upon hours of training in order to do it correctly and safely. I can always tell when a photographer doesn’t specialize in newborn posing and has agreed to a session outside of their typical offerings (for whatever reason). […]

I’ve always claimed to love summer best. The long days with the perpetual promise of a Saturday evening campfire and s’mores. The lazy mornings waiting for my swim team swimmer, listening to the crickets and the frogs sing their perennial song. No school work, easy Cobb salad dinners, long pool days, the smell of sunblock, […]

Everyone likes a deal…I bet you can’t find one person who would rather pay full price for something when they could get a price break on it. And I know I’d rather establish a longer-term relationship with a client than photograph someone once and never see them again. So I took the knowledge that people […]
