A photographer’s greatest joy is clients coming back for yearly photos! Ok, it may be a perfect sunset during a session with great clients….either way, I had both of those things on this beautiful day in June!

This family found me through a referral, which is the very best way to meet new clients. If you love your photographer, please share their info with your friends and family!

This family was looking for Easter portraits sometime in April, then Mother Nature decided to give us the coldest, most depressing spring ever! We ended up waiting until mid-May to do the photos, and they turned out so gorgeous! This session was supposed to be a ‘simple’ session, which is about 30 minutes and includes...
This session was quick, since we didn’t want to keep their baby girl outside for too long. Luckily, it doesn’t take much time at all to get adorable shots!

Officially wrapping up 2025! 🎉
Going back through my 2025 sessions, I am reminded of all the fun times I had with my amazing clients! Forgive me for not doing an official recap of all of those great sessions. This winter has been a difficult one, and I am just now getting back into business mode. Looking forward to sharing some sessions that I’ve had recently, and my books for spring and summer are now open! PS: note to self to take more videos when it’s cold out 🤣

Engagement session in the 🌨️
This couple had their engagement session planned for last Saturday, and it turned out to be the coldest day. As soon as we arrived the blowing snow started, but we managed to get these beautiful images anyway! I love the photos so much, congrats to the couple! ❤️
