How to *try* to make sure everyone is happy for your mini session Lincoln was 4 months old and the girls were 4 and 2, and I thought “hey! We are all ready dressed up for church, why not just take our photos before!” You guys. It was the middle of December. DECEMBER and 8:30…
How to Prepare for a Family Session. Don’t be me. The kids were 13, 11, and 9 and we were in the middle of crazy busy summer, the girls were dancing at a local Scandinavian Festival twice a day, my schedule was crazy with work, and we had the smallest bit of time to carve…
How does a Mini Session Work? I get asked this question often, and it’s a completely reasonable question! You see the 15 minute session time, and you know how hard it is to wrangle your kids just to take a first day of school photo or that Christmas morning photo in front of the tree…

This sweet family met me at the old home at Finley Wildlife Refuge right at golden hour and I was in love with the beautiful light coming through the trees next to the home! I gave the family games to play to get the adorable candid photos and tickle fights. I just love these real…
This was a quiet pleasant afternoon spent with this wonderful family, photographing them as they welcomed their second baby boy in to the family. He has such a stoic funny personality and his little antics were hilarious! I really love when families chose to give their new baby a bath for their newborn session. It’s…
Golden Hour Family Session + Mt Pisgah = All the Heart Eyes 🙂 This was the second session I did for this family and I loved spending some time with them at the beautiful Mt. Pisgah. Family session at that prime sunset hour is so beautiful and gives me all the artistic feels as I…
