Meaningful Family Photos I Guarantee You'll Love
I’ve been a photographer since 2005. Throughout my journey, I have learned and enjoyed many different photographic styles. One of my favourite things is documenting families as they spend time loving each other. There's something about the connection between people that I can't stop…
Camera Gear That Will Make You A Better Photographer
Mamas are always asking me what camera I recommend so they can document their little ones at home as they grow. As a professional, I have to tell you that the lens is probably even more important than the body of the camera. However, I don't believe anyone needs to spend a fortune in order to capture…
Happiness Is In the Form of Grandmas
Happiness can come in many shapes and sizes. Happiness may be in the form of freshly baked cookies. Happiness may be in the form of the sun shining down so heavily or your big, fluffy mutt of a dog. It may be in the form of leaves on a tree in the middle of autumn. For me, though, happiness is in the form of…
The Important Milestones Every Mama Should Capture
There is no wrong time to capture memories or to book a photoshoot, and babies are beautiful at any stage in life. There are, however, many important stages and milestones that are especially photo-worthy. Here are some of the precious moments that you'll wish you captured earlier…
Baby, I Love You, I Promise I Always Will
Baby, I love you. I promise, I always will. You were heaven breathed into little lungs and a huge heart. And there are things that you teach me about Him that I could never have learned on my own. You have shown me a love I could not have contained in these bones alone…

It is brave to love. It is brave to open your heart wide and love with all that you; with all of yourself. It is brave to completely unplug from all the things that try to grab at our attention and to be one hundred percent present. It is brave to hug on purpose and to throw so much intention into your syllables that…
When I Think Of You
When I think of you, I am filled with joy. It is that kind of joy that starts in the heart and floods my cheeks. It is the joy of the anticipation of knowing you, loving you and holding you in my arms. You have an entire life yet to live and the hope and mystery of who you’ll be and what you’ll do is…
Lessons Children Teach Us
Some of the most inspiring people I’ve ever met have been children. And we all know that life with children is not everyday sunshine and roses, but there is almost like this raw cry from heaven that comes to us from their lives that tugs on our hearts, changing us, getting us to think and to dream just a bit…
There Is Something Special About Your Dad
There is something special about the embrace of Dad that makes us feel safe and secure. There is something special about the way that he looks at his kids that lets them know they're going to be okay. There is something special about his voice that reminds us of home. There is something special about his laughter and the way…
Let's Never Stop Hugging
The kind where we wrap them up so tightly in our arms, fully present and fully here, it as if our hearts are dancing with one another. Where we whisper in our ears that we love them with our everything. Where we giggle with them and let them know the joy that happens when we are fully embraced…
It's Written On Their Faces
There is something so honest about capturing babies. It is like every single thing that they are feeling and thinking is written upon their little faces. They haven’t learned to hide or stuff those things down or pick up a mask to cover themselves and appear how they think people want them to be…
