When my best friend Paige turned 30 we did a giraffe themed cake smash for her. Now that her son Conor has turned one year old, we decided to do the same cake smash for him! Paige had a blast at her cake smash, but Conor seemed a little more on the fence!

I do most of my newborn sessions in my studio, but every now and then I do a lifestyle newborn session in a client’s home, and it’s pure magic! Photographing baby Pippa with her family was so much fun. Even her furry sibling got in on the shoot! Those sweet puppy eyes may look sad, […]

The Relay For Life event is something that’s been around for a long time, but it took knowing cancer survivors personally, and getting to know them, before I realized exactly how important these events really are! “Cancer didn’t bring me to my knees, it brought me to my feet.” This quote rings true with EVERY […]

I was originally supposed to photograph a birth session for child number eight, baby Cora! However, when Cora decided to come early we changed the newborn session to a large family lifestyle session, right there in their home! It ended up being so much fun! Meet the Martinek family. Eight kids all together and they […]
