closePut a cake in front of any one year old and you never know what you might get. You may get a huge smash and hands deep in the sugary mess, or you may get the complete opposite, tears and not wanting to get messy! I have seen it all and either way it is so stinkin’ cute. Keep scrolling to see how Ethan reacted to turning one!
It has been such a joy for me over the past few years to watch families grow. And it really is incredible how a little one changes within one year!
I had the opportunity to photograph Morgan when in utero, when she was just a few days old, when she was six months and now a full year.
Emily, her momma, was SO creative in what she brought in for the session in the studio. Using balloons, streamers, a rocking chair that belonged to her as a child, and of course her favorite books in this season.
If you are having a baby in the next few months I would love to connect. These Grow With Me Sessions are a hot seller for that first year, and well worth the investment!
I am pretty sure that 6 months might be my favorite stage of babies. They are so smiley, have the sweet rolls and not moving everywhere makes it even better. I loved seeing Lottie and her parents again. Those baby blues had my heart and the incredible amount of smiles she gave me almost made me long for another of my own…. Almost!
What a joy it was to meet sweet Hannah and her family. Being a rainbow baby, we had to incorporate that into the session. Katie, Hannah’s mom, bought the sweetest headband and her aunt created this rainbow blanket for Hannah. I loved Hannah’s nursery, which was a tribute to her furry siblings who welcomed her in love. What a joy it is to meet new clients, and hear their incredible stories, because let’s be honest, each story of each baby to each family is unique and how blessed I am to meet these parents and families!
Finding “your people” as a photographer can be a hard thing. After numerous sessions with Jared and Katie, they are “my people.” Kind-hearted, easy going, welcoming and all around just nice, I was so happy to go back and photograph their newest little addition this winter.
A few years back I was able to photograph their first sweet daughter and adding another little girl to their family and photographing her newborn session made my day.
I can’t wait to see them again in the future, but for today, here are a few from our time together
No one said you had to do newborn photos inside! Taking lifestyle newborn photos outside and making them true to your style makes them even more meaningful and significant!!
“When should we schedule newborn photos?”
If you’re expecting (whether it’s your first baby or you’re adding to your crew), this is one of the most common questions I get
The sweet spot?
7–14 days after your baby arrives
Those early days are something special…
Your baby is still sleepy, snuggly, and curled up in that fresh, just-born way—and it changes so quickly.
But here’s what matters just as much:
You don’t have to go anywhere.
My newborn sessions take place in your home whether it’s a quiet morning with your first baby or a full, beautifully busy house with siblings running around.
No pressure. No perfect expectations.
Just your family, exactly as you are in this season.
If you’re thinking about newborn photos, I recommend reaching out during your second trimester so I can save space around your due date
I shared more about what to expect (and why timing matters) over on the blog link is in my bio!

On this gorgeous spring day, I find myself reliving Connor and Kristen’s wedding at Bavaria Downs.
An effortlessly timeless celebration layered with refined details, soft summer light, and a kind of beauty that never asks for attention, it simply exists. Every moment felt intentional, elegant, and deeply meaningful… the kind of day that lingers long after it’s over.
Truly, a wedding that defines what it means to be both classic and unforgettable.
If you’re envisioning a day that feels elevated, seamless, and entirely your own, I would be honored to document it.
