As a mom, I find myself saying it all the time—“they’re growing up too fast.” One moment, they’re learning to crawl. The next, they’re running through the house with messy hair, sticky hands, and belly laughs that fill the room. And before we know it, we’re packing them up for their first day of school […]

There’s something truly special about photographing families on land that has been loved and lived on for generations. This family session took place in the Kansas countryside at a fourth-generation family homestead—a place filled with history, memories, and the kind of roots that run deep. The wide open fields, the tall trees that have stood […]

Having shared years of memories in this expansive, windswept region, it felt only fitting that we photographed their engagement session in the very landscape that has means so much to them.

  It was such a pleasure meeting this sweet family that recently moved to the Midwest from the Upper Northwest Coast. We explored Camp Aldrich together – and I’ve got to say – if you’ve never been, it’s a must, especially in the Fall as the leaves change.

It was such a treat having Anais and her daughter in the studio a few weeks ago. They hadn’t taken professional photographs together in several years and we all know, babies don’t keep. Anais booked one of my Mommy + Me Petite Studio Sessions and they made a day of it and drove from Fort […]

Clara Barton Hospital recently welcomed Marcus Herrera as a new mental health provider and I had the pleasure of photographing him for his corporate portrait.  Corporate Portrait sessions are usually just about 10-15 minutes and intended to provide you with several options for a professional photograph. I’ll send over roughly 7-10 images and you’ll choose […]

The graduating class of 2020 has had to quickly adapt to the ever fluctuating rules and regulations – from missed proms to graduation – they’ve taken a big hit on milestone moments. I was so excited when Vanessa’s mom called me to see if we could do a Porch Session but focus on her recent […]

I love photographing the Billinger’s when they all get together. The last time I saw this whole crew, the two littles were just weeks old, what a difference a year makes! Such a fun way to remember a visit to Grandma & Grandpa’s house with a Porch Session.
