A little sister to love and protect. A little sister to teach and to encourage. A little sister to play and explore with. A little sister to cherish.

A photographer is a storyteller. Instead of words, we use images to tell our story. Wedding photographers tell the story of a grande and spectacular day, and the love story of two. Family photographers tell the continuing love story of life and family

Black and white. It is simple and timeless. Black and white allows the viewer to see every detail and feel every emotion. Newborns were made for black and white. The simply beautiful details of a newborn baby are perfect in black and white.

A fresh, brand new baby has a way of making us smile. Holding a newborn cures the blues and washes away any worry. Newborns are reminders of all that is right and innocent in this crazy world. Completely perfect and each a living miracle we can actually hold in our arms. 

Life is a series of connections. Some connections take time to build and strengthen. Others are solidified in an instant. When a new baby arrives, those instant connections are overwhelming. A fresh life has the innate ability to connect with each new person he meets. His mama and daddy, of course.

As parents, we are blessed to be able to see the world through the eyes of a child again. Every age and every stage brings a whole new way that our children look at the world around them. There is beauty and wonder all around us, and children have the wonderful ability to see it all.  

I have been lucky enough to be working with this family since big brother Kaden was a newborn. He is now 2 years old, and has a very important new role. He is the big brother to opinionated little Kaia Katarina.

Happiness. It is what this life is all about. To be happy and to make those around us happy. When we are happy, it is easy to make those around us happy.Babies are the best spreaders of happiness. It is hard not to be happy when you have a big toothy grin looking at you.

When you step into my studio, I want you to feel like you can breathe. Not one of those fast breaths, but the kind that comes from deep within and refreshes your entire body. I want you to feel full of peace and at calm, where for these next moments, it is not about the busyness or about the stress.

The moment you first lay your eyes on your first baby, in an instant, you discover a love like no other. You suddenly understand what you have heard your friends with children talk about, and have a new-found appreciation for your own parents.

The days and nights start to melt together, while at the same time stands still every moment you are with your new love. Her big brown eyes look into your soul. She may not be able to talk, but you know her voice.

I am in the business of capturing moments. Our lives are made up of moments, and the best ones define us. They are the moments that make our hearts overflow with love and happiness. Those are the moments that I strive to capture during sessions.
