Early morning, little ones in tow, changing the kids in the parking lot as we arrived… that was the vibe for our photo swap this year. Summer evening sessions have been tricky for Felix the past few years since golden hour pushes past his bedtime. I figured adding another toddler and a baby to a […]
Jordan and Courtney’s wedding is one I’m going to enjoy looking back on for a long time. I’ve known Jordan since he was a little boy. I used to babysit him and his sisters and I’ve taken their family’s photos many times over the years. Standing in the church with my camera and watching him […]
Little sparkle eyes is six months old! I loved this phase of babyhood with Felix and I am once again enthralled by the half year mark. The personality, the joy, the desire to try new things, the ability to sleep a little longer… it is all just so sweet and magical! We are all obsessed […]
There are some families that just feel like sunshine, and the Tate family is one of them. Getting to meet their extended family this summer for photos was a true honor! I’ve had the joy of photographing them on their farm for a few years now, and every time I visit, I’m reminded why I […]
Dorothy is five months old and starting to roll, taste food, and sleep longer stretches! For the first few times this month she went to bed before 8:00pm which was incredible! She is a little night owl though and would much prefer to sleep through the morning festivities if it means she can hangout with […]
Extended family sessions have such a beautiful rhythm—there’s the joy of gathering everyone together for a full group shot, and then the magic of stepping back and catching the little stories unfolding between the lines: cousins playing, grandparents holding hands, toddlers eating snacks and cuddling with their parents.
A few years ago, I had the joy of photographing Hannah and Sam’s wedding—and last month, I got to step into a whole new chapter of their story: welcoming their baby boy with an in-home newborn session in Howell, Michigan. The whole session was sweet, simple, and full of heart. We photographed everything right in […]
I’m a few days away from taking Miss Dottie’s five month photos but wanted to post some of her four month ones while she is still four months old! This phase has been super fun and interactive and also wildly BUSY! We came out of the newborn haze and into a full blown summer complete […]
Most mornings, I am rocking Dorothy before the sun comes up… her hair all fuzzy from sleep, her body warm and heavy against mine—and every morning as the sun rises earlier and earlier, I think “this is the good stuff.” These quiet, early hours. The way the house feels before the day begins. The way […]
Dorothy is officially no longer a newborn which is WILD. My brain is still melting out of my head on a daily basis as I try to figure out what she needs for eating and sleeping (she’s not a big schedule girly – she prefers to go with the flow) but I’m learning her cues […]
