Just a few months ago, Ashley and Zach were counting down the days until they would meet their baby boy. We created a gorgeous set of maternity photos for them in front of the Monument at sunset that included their pups ( see here) and talked about all the excitement surrounding their little boy’s arrival.

Some babies arrive with a calm, peaceful presence, and sweet little Eiza was one of them. She settled right into her session, snoozing through so much of it while looking absolutely precious in her tiny lavender outfit. That little bunny almost looked like it had found its new best friend. This session was especially meaningful […]

A first birthday session is always a little unpredictable, and that’s exactly what makes them so much fun. One-year-olds have their own plans, their own schedules, and absolutely no interest in following a photographer’s agenda. Mikie J was no exception—and honestly, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. This sweet family joined me for […]

One of my favorite things about photographing growing families is getting to watch the story keep unfolding. I have had the honor to photograph many ‘Stephens Babies’ over the last decade and now here we are with Kate and Jake’s baby number three already wrapped up in a tiny mint blanket and completely stealing the […]

Some families just stay with you and you become great Friends —and Jena and Luis are exactly that. I still remember photographing them with their first baby girl, back when everything felt brand new and a little bit unknown.

I’ve been photographing Marcia and Denver’s family for almost ten years now, which means I’ve watched Kaitlyn and Connor grow from little kids into the confident, kind humans they are today. They also happen to be my niece and nephew, which makes sessions like this one even more meaningful. Marcia and Denver have always been […]

Ted was not immediately convinced that the studio was his idea of a good time — and honestly, that’s completely fair. New smells, new sounds, new space… it can be a lot, especially for a cat. Ted took his time, stayed cautious, and made it very clear that he was going to move at his […]

Watching families return as they grow is one of the quiet joys of my job as a newborn photographer. I first photographed Dutton when he was a newborn ( see here), and getting to welcome this family back to the studio with baby Hudson felt both familiar and brand new at the same time. I […]

From the moment little Kensington arrived at the studio, her joy was contagious. With those bright eyes and the sweetest giggle, she had everyone smiling before the session even began. This milestone birthday wasn’t just about celebrating her first year—it was about honoring all the love that surrounds her from her wonderful family. Kalie and […]
