It’s safe to say, I was smiling the ENTIRE time I was with this sweet family. They just welcomed baby Owen to their crew, and his older siblings couldn’t be more happy. They loved smiling at him, loved loving on him, and their smiles melted my heart. What I love most is the thought of […]

The Reilly family welcomed sweet little Delaney last month, and it’s safe to say the whole family is thrilled-especially her big brother Liam!! So much joy and sweetness between the two, and I loved capturing the growth of their family. I of course had to get a portrait (or two) of their English Bulldog Oxford, […]

I started taking photos for the Moyer family when they moved back from New York, and their now oldest Murphy was only a few months old. Since then, I’ve had the extreme honor of taking photos for Maude’s newborn, and moments in between-all leading up to Robert’s newborn in their new house at the beginning […]

It’s hard to know where to begin when reflecting back on 2020…it goes without saying it was a hard year, but I also want to be able to reflect on the positive impact from all the changes it brought. While a lot of people made the shift to working from home, I honestly felt like […]

Fun fact, I started at Bethel as an art major. But alas, I learned early on that photography was the route I wanted to take, and was actually pretty horrible at drawing, painting, graphic design-aka-anything besides taking photos. SO! I made it my minor and switched to communication, but the whole point of my undergraduate […]

Sweet little Charlotte was the last newborn session I did before all the craziness of Covid-19 and the words “social distancing” and “shelter-in-place” really began. I miss these moments of photographing first time parents as they can’t get enough of their little bundle of sweetness, and snuggle them tight. Charlotte was the most content and […]

I never tire of newborn sessions-can you tell?? Moments like these-especially in times like these, when we take a few minutes to pause, reflect, and soak in the time we have together as families are something to be cherished. The gift of new life is especially precious during this time, and I will never take […]

Safe to say the biggest cure for winter doldrums is taking photos of fresh babies-especially when that baby belongs to one of your close friends. Briggs has stolen all of our hearts, and has officially set the bar high for definition of cute baby. Spending the morning with Chels and Jon, and seeing them look […]

It is impossible to put into words what this last year meant to me…photographing over 90 families, I can’t even believe it. What a gift to be able to photograph so many sweet families, sweet moments, and answers to prayer. Thank you all so much for allowing me in your homes, meeting me at parks, […]

I don’t think I will ever tire of newborn sessions, and my time spent with Amy, Michael and their sweet Quinn is no exception to that rule. I think she slept the entire time, and although we passed her back and forth, up and down and all around, she loved being snuggled in her parents […]

This was such a special session with Sara, Dave and their two boys Henry and Silas. These two have created such a strong, love-filled home and are instilling deep faith into these little boys. Silas is an incredible answer to prayer, and a testament to God’s hand in our lives life. This is why I […]

You’ve heard me say it before, I’m sure, but there really is something so special photographing these significant moments in your friends lives. I’ve known Brady since college, and watched him fall in love with Andrea…then got to take their engagement and wedding photos, and now the exciting addition of their sweet baby girl Baylor. […]
