Newborn photography makes me so happy. Spending time with families during milestones like these brings a HUGE smile to my face. What are the things that make you happy? Who are the people who bring you joy? Make a list of those things and then fill your life with as much of it as possible. True joy, true happiness; the kind that starts…

As a mom of four, I try my hardest not to worry. But there are times where I wonder and where I hope. Feeling this space, knowing I don’t have all the answers but hoping my best will be the very best. And when I talk to my first time mama clients, thoughts are always dancing around in their heads. Thoughts like “Do I have enough clothes…

I see so many of us do it and I see it in myself. We look at our bodies, souls and spirits in the mirror of our strongest and fiercest critic. We pick and pull apart everything that does not scream perfection. And this voice, this voice that at time resembles more of a bully than an ally, gets in our corners and pours out in a fury…

You and I were designed by the hands of the creator of heaven and earth. And He took the time to craft every single detail of our lives and breathe the most holy of breaths into our lungs. He is the One who paints the skies and can be found even in the syllables of the wind and the rain. In every moment, He is creating something. Even beyond what…

Today I received a call from a lovely mama of a 7 day old little one.  She just had her baby last week and I’m unable to accommodate her session here in the studio. It’s so sad when this happens. Whether I can fit a newborn in on short notice is different every day. Sometimes babies arrive early and sometimes late. I encourage you to…

Overflowing love is the best love. Have you ever been in the presence of a mother and child? The love that is presented in front of you is overwhelming. Love knows no bounds, especially when it comes to children. All they are looking for is someone to appreciate their existence and someone to listen to them…

You are so beyond powerful. Trust me. You are so strong, so determined, so beautiful, so raw. You are so authentic, so kind, and so passionate. Why are you all these things? Because you are a girl. You were carefully thought out and crafted into something special. Trust me, you were made for a reason. Women are such wonderful…

Baby, you are and always will be my child. Baby, you are different from everyone else but different is not such a bad thing. Baby, you are so unique. Baby, you are so strong. Baby, if you ever have days when you feel like giving up know that I am here to help you. Baby, if you ever have days that you feel are the best ones know that…

New life is so amazing. There is something beautiful about bringing a small human into this world. There is something beautiful about having your heart outside your body in the form of a newborn baby. There is something so beautiful about new life, and it deserves a celebration. Whether you’ve delivered many children before or it’s…

Mothers are typically the ones behind the camera. They are always capturing the special moments, instead of being involved in them. The importance of having these memories to look back on is essential, because life is too short. Before you know it, your kids will be having their own, and you will want those photos to be able to share with them…

The way the light kisses your face is so pure and sweet. The way you follow my direction in the studio and look into the camera just so. All I can do is wonder what the world has in store for you, little man. Such wonderful things. You are so small and pure, and look up to everything in the world with such curiosity. You have such a bright…

To be loved is to be free.  Remember when you were a child and you felt so very free?  Where you thought that if you jumped off the table, you could soar? And if you walked into a room, you were authentically yourself, without a care in the world. You were completely confident that you were loved. Let’s get back to that place today…
