I couldn’t help it! I just HAD to post a few of these photos, and FAST. James and Kelsey were so much fun to be around. Here are just a few to take a glance at. More to come soon!

Adoption. A beautiful word.
When Heather called to see if I would be willing to photograph their family, which had grown in the last year, I was thrilled. You see I had been able to be a part of the process of waiting and praying for this little boy. I knew God would bring them another child in His time, it was just that, HIS time. Heather and I don’t get to see much of each other any more now that our worlds are filled with little one’s under the age of 4, but when I do, I always feel like I am picking up where I left off with her. Thank you Meyer’s. I had a wonderful time with your family! Here’s to more smiles than tears!










I love these photos – what a sweet family! Great new blog, Karen!
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.
