closeSeems like time passes by so quickly, it seems like I just saw my two high school friends, Kim and Kristine, but it has already been a year! Since then they both have moved out of state, but we are making it a tradition of June photo sessions together! I was able to see these two wonderful friends and their children last year and again this summer. It was a perfect day for photos, and a perfect day to see how their sweet children have grown. Looking forward to many more June sessions!!
I was captivated by them. This family that loved and laughed, and ran a lot!! It was great to see Gen and her family again for the short and sweet sessions in May. I am thankful to be able to watch kids grow and change, as they years go by. 
I met the Linders last year in early spring when they had their first little one, Sophia. Her dark brown eyes captured me then, and now her baby sister’s bright blue eyes have captured me! Aubrey is just the sweetest little baby. I was so glad to be able to see the Linder’s again this spring and photograph their newest member of the family!
Shannon has been a faithful client since Alison was born, and to hit up her 18th month, she hit the misi session date right on! Alison is growing so fast, and is such a cutie! Can you get too much of her brown eyes and pink dress?? Such a cutie!
Ruth and I met in our daughter’s music class and 2 years ago I was able to photograph their family. Since they have added another little one to their family, the Short and Sweet session was perfect to get a new family photo taken. I loved seeing them again and can’t wait to watch their family grow!
From their engagement session, to their wedding, to the birth of their first daughter and now to their second, it’s been a joy and honor to be able to photograph couples like the Wargo’s as their life changes.
It’s what makes my job so meaningful and fulfilling! Congratulations Hannah and Jake, your family is beautiful!
Including siblings in your newborn session… yes or no?
My answer is always yes.
It might feel a little chaotic in the moment, but those are often the images you end up treasuring the most—the real connection, the tiny interactions, the beginning of a new family story.
I’ve loved watching the Luong family grow through all three of their children’s newborn sessions, and those sibling moments are always some of my favorites.
If you’re wondering how it all works (and how we make it easy), I wrote a full blog post about it! Check it out in my stories
