What Should I Wear??? Whenever people ask about what to wear for their maternity sessions, I tell them to plan to wear at least two looks, maybe even three. Whether you want maternity gowns and flower crowns, or you’re more of a leggings and sweater kind of gal, styling your session is one of my …

I’m a sucker for a good love story. In fact… I’m a sucker for love in general. I’ve been “home” (where I grew up, in Florida) editing this sun-soaked Spokane love story. I tend to edit at the desk in my studio with old episodes of Friends, The Office, HIMYM, or SVU playing in the …

From the moment I met Miss Lily, I could envision this “Here She Glows” dress session. We got rained out twice, but the third time was the charm. The ground may have still been wet, but it only added to this gorgeous scene for this sweet session. We held this session only weeks before this …

“He’s still just a little bit cranky,” his mom warned me when we met at the beach. “He got a good nap, so he should be pretty good, and we’ve bribed him with gummies- so we’ll see.” I love family photography. I’ve talked about it before. As much as I love yoga photography and couples …
You know how every once in a while you just meet someone who inspires you? Well this mama’s heart spoke straight to mine and every time I think of motherhood now, her words echo through my mind. Dane and I each have one sister. Growing up in a family of four, we have both always …
I got to hold this little lady for the first time almost exactly a year ago. We were at a big Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving Dinner and her mama let me hold her while she ate, and that was it: I fell in love. A year later- I fall more in love at every photoshoot! She has smiles and energy …
