Baby Payton

One of my favorite parts about my job is returning to clients as their family grows and changes. I had the pleasure of returning to this sweet family as they welcomed baby girl number 3! How lucky to be born into a family with 2 built in best friends! Payton was as sweet as could be and has quickly assumed the chill third baby role, totally going with the flow. I don't know how, but mom and dad made it look so easy to add another munchkin to the crew.

Lacey and Jonathan, congrats on your beautiful new baby and your beautiful new home! Thank you for trusting me to capture this exciting new chapter!

The Licker Family

It's always a treat to work with this sweet family. I first met Abby when she was a roll-y little six month old and now she's a proud big sister! Baby Emily's newborn shoot got postponed due to Covid, but I kind of love the fact that she is the same age as her big sister when I captured her first photos. And you just can't beat the bright eyed gummy smiles of a six month old!

Amy and Justin, Thank you again for trusting me to capturing your growing family. Enjoy!

Baby Porter

It was such a pleasure to meet the Atkinson Family and their sweet babies! Little Prince Porter is so lucky to have two adoring big sisters to spoil him with snuggles. I don't know what it is about the third babies, but I just love how go with the flow they are! Porter couldn't have been sweeter or more cooperative to work with.

Mary and John Porter, I'm so glad you won this session through the Costa Rica Mission Moms auction. It was a pleasure meeting you and capturing such an exciting time for your family. Enjoy!

Baby Liam

It was such a treat to get back out and see some of the families I was missing during quarantine. Baby Liam made his grand entrance during a challenging time of uncertainty, yet walking through the doors of the Fisher home, all was right with the world! The love and excitement oozing out of Liam's two goofy big brothers was contagious and a breath of fresh air for me! I was so grateful to be able to capture this time for them, and also remember how much I love this job :)

Lauren and Andrew, congrats on a beautiful new home, and a perfect baby boy!

Kathryn + Alex

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to capture this beautiful couple during their engagement. Kathryn came to me looking for some images that reflect all aspects of their relationship- from their playful and light hearted sides to their softer and more intimate connection. Alex could not have been more of a gentleman, going along with any and all of the prompts I gave him... anything for his beautiful bride! Despite being engaged at a time when things are uncertain and unconventional, it is clear that the love between these two is strong, steady and unwavering.

Kathryn and Alex, thank you for trusting me to capture such an exciting time in your lives

Madden Family

To say it felt good to see my families again after this unexpected pause on all things normal is an understatement! Getting back out there and capturing the joy in families and children was literally a breath of fresh air. We have been so blessed by beautiful weather this spring and the day I met up with the Madden Family was no exception. Despite the chaos around us these days, it was truly therapeutic for me to hone in on these sweet kids and the love between them and their parents. Such a good reminder to be grateful for what is right in front of us every day.

Ellen and Jim, thank you for trusting me to capture your beautiful family and the vibrant personalities of your sweet babies. Enjoy!

Baby Riley

Like many of us, I've been going through a rollercoaster of emotions lately, dealing with the news, homeschooling, and feelings of isolation. Looking at these images, I am brought back to the most pure and essential emotion: love. A love that you never knew existed until tiny fingers gripped onto your pinky, or a shy smile curved from little lips. A love that will grow deeper every day between two sisters. This is what it's all about.

Lacey and Jonathan, for many reasons this time in your lives may feel like a blur looking back. I'm so glad we documented this sweet girl and the family that surrounds her with so much love every day.
