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. Fast forward to now, and here they are again… a little more experienced, a little more […]

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 […]

There’s something extra special about watching families grow — especially when you’ve photographed them before. I first met Kendall and Josh when their new daughter Renna was just a baby. Fast-forward two years, and this sweet (and hilariously spirited!) girl is now a proud big sister to baby Reid.  – The first time big sister […]

There’s something truly special about being invited back into a family’s life again and again to capture their milestones. When Jade and Lucas reached out to me to photograph their newest little love, Stella, it felt like catching up with old friends. I’ve had the joy of photographing their older two, Shivaun and Finley, before […]

There’s just something about three generations all together that feels extra special—especially when one of them is a baby who has mastered the art of keeping everyone entertained. That’s exactly what happened with baby Cosette, her mom Staci, and her grandma during their downtown Grand Junction photo session. From the first click of the camera, […]

Some sessions just sparkle from the very beginning, and Cosette’s was one of those. The moment she walked into the studio with her mom, Staci, she was ready to show off her sweet personality—and oh boy, did she deliver! Cosette is at that magical age where every step feels like an adventure and every expression […]

Baby Mabel, you are just so very cute, you take my breath away! Wouldn’t you agree? I have had the pleasure to photograph the Walton kids for a while now ( even before Ms. Mabel’s arrival,  see here). We celebrated baby sister’s arrival just two short years ago ( totally crazy to even say it!). […]
