A few weeks ago I was just back from vacation and struggling to serve everyone around me. I was juggling work, home, hobbies and trying so hard to get through a great book. And I made mistakes. So I had to step back and reassess my goals. I had to allow myself to say no. I missed a timeline, and let it go willingly. Then I made a decision…

Natural photography. What does that mean? It means getting together with a photographer that you trust to pull out the real you, the candid you. And to make that happen in a genuine way, connecting with you is a priority to me. Whether you prefer to come to the studio or chat over the phone, I’m here for you…

What an amazing 2018! A very special THANK YOU to all of the amazing people who trust me with their family photography, documenting their children as they grow. Here's a little slideshow of our best images from this year, can't wait to make more memories in 2019! We’ve had a TON of super happy clients this year, and you’ll find their…

There is something powerful about the way children see the world. Sometimes if you lean into their perspective, you can feel their fearlessness, like the world is something to be explored, never to be afraid of. You can feel the energy of their bravery and their wonder, that they’re just hungry to know more…

When I officially found out you were a boy, I already knew. I could tell by the way you moved in my belly just so, sometimes it was almost like you just jumped. In a way I cannot explain, it was like I already knew you. Like I had met you before, maybe in my dreams, maybe in heaven. Like I had already held you…

There’s so much we can learn from children. Kids can be our biggest teachers if we have enough humility just to say yes. As much as we know all that we know through life experience, there are almost some things it would be good to unlearn. There are some things we know, that it would almost be better if…

Collecting Memories. There is this beautiful thing about memories in that we each have our own. That you and I could have very different memories about things that have happened and experiences we have known. Because memories are so filled with emotion…

I've decided it's really important for me to talk more about connection with you guys. If you're anything like me, you're struggling every day finding calm during life with kids. Trying to get them out the door on time in the morning without rushing, encouraging them to relax in the evening for stories, hugs and…

You can look at pictures and not just see them with your eyes, but feel them with your heart. You know those pictures that almost have stories behind them as if they are letting you in on secrets, bringing you into dialogues and transporting you into different moments. Maybe they have worn…

Have you ever seen kindness living in someone’s eyes? It is almost like a subtle flame inviting you to know and trust that there is goodness in the everyday. There is a very warmth about them that sets your heart at ease and sometimes when your eyes meet with their own, it is like you can swim in this…

We all have things that we cover our walls with. Maybe it is paintings that make us swoon, pictures of our loved ones or words that remind us of what we want for our future. And the most amazing thing that we get to fill our walls with are images captured when we’ve spent time with the ones we love the most…

I had a conversation this past week with a mother of three about photography. She received a gorgeous new camera for Christmas from her husband (obviously, he's a keeper!) and was worried about learning how to use it. Not just that though, she finally had the tools she needed to document her child's life...
