I took photos for Ashley and David in late Spring/early Summer but I was in Portland during the arrival of their beautiful baby boy this summer! I’m so sad I missed the opportunity to take newborn photos for them when baby Derek first arrived, but I’m thankful I was able to go into their amazing […]

I know I just said this in my last newborn session post but I can’t help it… I LOVE lifestyle newborn sessions!! :) I enjoyed going into the home of this sweet family and capturing the love they have for their first child! They are both so tender and gentle with her and just absolutely in […]

In the past two weeks I’ve had the opportunity to go into the homes of three different families and document their love for each other and their adorable new babies! I’ve always enjoyed doing lifestyle newborn sessions, but after the past couple weeks, I’ve grown into loving them even more!! There is something so special […]

Oh my goodness, I don’t know if I could even be MORE excited about this post! :) For this Arizona girl, shooting in Oregon has truly been one of the most amazing experiences of my life! I have loved all of the locations I’m having the opportunity to photograph while I’m here, especially this one! When […]

If you follow my photography, you have probably seen photos of this beautiful girl several times. She is one of my best friends and has been for over 12 years now! I love going on photography adventures with her! I arrived in Portland about two weeks ago now and Casey made the drive up here […]

I can’t believe it’s been nearly two weeks since I last blogged! The time has gone by so fast! The reason that I disappeared a little is partly because my laptop was away at Apple getting fixed for 9 days! I felt entirely strange without it. And the other reason is because I am now […]

Some of my closest friends just had a beautiful baby boy! I love newborn sessions like this! If I’m being honest, I don’t know how to pose babies and wrap them up all perfectly, but even if I knew how, I think I’d still prefer a more lifestyle approach to newborns. I love photos of […]

Jacqueline is not ONLY an absolutely gorgeous girl, but she is such a sweet girl too! I found a new area that I thought would be fun for a shoot and she was totally up for meeting me at this new spot and trying it out! I love that it has an open field type […]

I first photographed Janelle when I was living in LA over this past summer and she quickly became one of my favorite people to photograph! She’s originally from Phoenix, so when she visited over the holidays, I made sure we had a chance to meet up so I could take more photos of this absolutely […]

Not only is this pretty lady one of my favorite people to photograph, but she’s also one of my closest childhood (and adulthood, haha) friends! If she didn’t live in Michigan… you’d probably be seeing new photos of her at least once a month, that’s how much I love photographing her! We, and by “we” […]
