The Witts are a family of three with their only child growing up and out. They may be small but they are full… full of love, laughter and you better believe it- Witt! I met Caitlin and Heather in the spring when I photographed Caitlin’s senior session at Wegerzyn Gardens in the rain while Heather held...
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, my favorite place to photograph family sessions is at home. Home is where the heart is and the dog roams. Home is where we let our hair down and put our feet up. Home is where we decorate- with plants and pictures, pumpkins and skeletons. If...
Photographing the Hudson’s and their extended family was as easy breezy as a summer evening at Cox Arboretum. Because sometimes all you need is a little bit of lovely light and a whole lot of laughter… See more Families
Taking precious Beverly’s one year portraits at home really filled my bucket! Give me ALL THE BABIES!!! Ok that sounded weird, but seriously, I could photograph babies all day (imagine I am Schmidt from New Girl)! I am so glad we decided on doing the session at Beverly’s home because she was completely comfortable in her...

Tansy and Veronica, thank you for inviting me into your family for a day. Thank you both for sharing your perspectives and...

The Finks are old friends but they feel like family. We’ve all known each other since Jenna and I had different last names. When slumber parties were still ours and staying up all night was for fun. Before we were moms and dads and wives and husbands. Before we had bills to pay and fights to...
I’m not gonna lie, when a photographer asks me to take their pictures, I feel pretty awesome. Like maybe somebody smells what I’m cooking. Somebody’s snacking what I’m packing. Like maybe they’re itching what I’m scratching…you get the point. Sarah and I found each other in a photographer group on Facebook. She was looking for...
Maybe the best way to show the loneliness and shame, the stigma of postpartum depression was to pretend that it didn’t exist.

Dreams for more vacations on the beach, more time to spend near water. Dad’s a nurse and Mom manages real estate. Someday, Keegan wants to be a professional football...
The name Jason Levier brings to mind a shy, lanky 7th grade boy. I didn’t know Jason very well in middle school but we shared teachers and most likely the same awkward attempts to fit in. Nearly 20 years later, I get to see Jason all grown up. A father of four, Jason married his...
Here’s a long post for a family who’s had a long year. For a couple who fell out of love and back into it. Josh and Lindsay couldn’t have pictured themselves sharing the frame, much less kissing, holding hands, and laughing together! To be honest, I didn’t think my brother and sister in-law were going...
