Wyatt’s 1-Year Photos
It’s been a pleasure to watch Wyatt grow up over the past year. I can’t believe he is already a year old! Now I’ve done a fair few of these first birthday cake disaster shoots and they are always interesting. Typically, you have to hold the baby back from destroying the cake before you get [...]
Photographing Babies’ New Tricks!
One of the biggest rewards to me as a portrait photographer is seeing babies grow up. It is just so fun to watch them get bigger, learn new tricks, and interact in exciting and different ways. I love seeing the world anew through the eyes of each child. That’s why I’ve been so lucky to [...]
November Girl – Newborn Photos
This lovely little girl was such a champ, her mom and dad brought her into the studio and although I’d been there for 3 hours trying to warm it up, it was hardly 60 degrees in the room and just would not warm up! We had two space heaters on her and wrapped her in [...]
Dynamic Toddler Photo Session
Toddlers are certainly forces of nature. When I head out to a toddler portrait session, I prepare myself for all possibilities. Depending on the day and time, a photographer might encounter anything! Some toddlers are so shy that mom’s hand or leg is in every shot while others are so eager to get moving that [...]
Past Maternity Session Reminds Me Why I Take Photos
Every portrait session is unique in its energy, its purpose, and its style in the moment. I love sitting down and looking through the photography that I’ve captured, but it’s just that much more rewarding when the photos find their way back to me again. If you’ve had doubts about why it’s important to allow [...]
First Birthday Cake
Kids change so much during their first years, and the first birthday is an exciting one because the whole experience is brand new! I was expecting a bit more mess, honestly, but she ate like a princess… for the most part. I did manage to capture some frosting on her darling face, though, and we [...]
New Year Maternity Session
I had the pleasure of taking portraits of this beautiful woman in the last stages of her pregnancy. Her due date was January 1st, but as far as I know she’s still waiting on the little one to show up! I love doing these late-term pregnancy pictures, because I know they will be so fun [...]
Baby Photography Is All About Toes Today!
There is something delightful about toes to a baby, and about a baby playing with his or her toes to a parent. Photographers are not immune to this! One of my favorite ages to photograph a baby is just after they discover their toes. Many parents do newborn pictures and then they do first birthday [...]
Summertime Newborn Portraits
Summer is such a great time for newborn babies, which of course translates to this newborn portrait session. Newborns are a challenge, because you are completely on their schedule. Ixa did a beautiful job, and mom and I got a lot of good chatting in while she fell asleep. I loved how mom had flower [...]
