Last year I photographed Winnie as a newborn. This year she turned one, and what a joy it was to see her and her family again!
I know there are a few more times this year I will get to connect with the Winge’s and I can not wait!

This past month has been crazy. I have been editing, blogging, e-mailing and then momm-ing. Piano after school, Soccer and baseball collided but we couldn’t do either because of an end of the year program at church! Just laughing my way into bed thinking about how busy May always is! Anyone else feel this way about their schedules?! Please send someone to help me say no….
We scheduled their session back in February when the snow was still on the ground and forgetting what the spring sun felt like! Tony, Tami and I headed downtown on a Friday evening when Garth Brooks was preforming and the weather had hit a beautiful 65! The hustle and bustle of the City was a warm greeting for us all and we easily strolled the streets of Mill Ruins Park, and enjoyed the afternoon together.
I loved all the outfits Tami chose. The spring colors popped against the fresh greens and city skyscapes. They were a perfect representation of her and Tony…casual and classy!
I simply can not wait to photograph their wedding in September (in the country!) and get to know them even more!
Spring is such a great time for family photos! Add in a beautiful, sun-shinny day, a happy toddler and kind parents; and I am a happy photographer.
I headed to the Sanchez’s house mid-afternoon to find a very happy one year old who had just awoken from a long nap. Because she is obsessed with reading and her cat, we just had to incorporate some books and the kitty in photos!
After being inside a bit, we headed outside to enjoy the sun and snap some photos.
It was a joy to meet this family and I hope to see them again in the future!
There are so many different things we race around for in life. Ways that the social media world tells us that we have to be somebody big and exciting and amazing. We have to get more hearts, dot our i’s and cross our t’s, keep the streak going. We have to be put together, up with all the trends and be invested in all the camps, sports and activities for our kids.
We try so desperately to keep searching for the “more” and quite honestly; its exhausting!
But what if in reality that “more” we are so desperately grasping for is right in front of our faces disappearing as we search?
The little people we are investing into, the husband or wife that wants to be known, or the friend who needs a listening ear; the things that will last. Be permininant.
These are the things that need to be preserved. The years and the memories of a life well spent together. This is the “more” we need to find together and push one another toward. Who’s with me?
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
