I LOVE doing themed newborn sessions, and this one goes very high on the list! You may think the egg is about a small chick or a duckling (which we can absolutely do if you want!) but little Isaac’s mama actually wanted an adorable dino- type shoot, and this little dinosaur hatched perfectly! I loved […]
Newborn photos are some of my absolute favorite shoots to do, and I think it’s pretty obvious why! I love capturing these sweet, soft moments and helping families cherish them forever. I did this shoot a while back, but I loved it so much I decided I should share it now! Most of Ezra’s newborn […]
I love doing all different types of newborn sessions, and I have fun doing many of them in my studio, but there is something really special about doing newborn photos in a family’s home!

“And above all else…LOVE.” Meet the Martinek family. Eight kids all together and they are so well behaved. Mary and Al contacted me about a birth session, but little Cora decided to come earlier than expected, and not at home like they had planned, so we turned their birth session into a family session! I […]

This is not a subject I ever thought about discussing until it happened to someone I know! Little Fins Swim School is owned by Lauri and […]
“You are the Peanut Butter to my Jelly.” Meet Shelby and Will. I had the pleasure of doing their engagement session last year, https://mandypenn.com/2018/10/10/shelby-will-engagement, and was given the privilege to capture their amazing, and beautifully rustic wedding, at The Wedgewood, in Black Forest…which is becoming a favorite venue to shoot at. The Wedgewood, in Black […]
