The anticipation of a new life often spurs the creation of outfits, blankets and embroidered gifts. Each time I schedule a newborn session I like to ask if there are any special items that would be nice to include in the photoshoot. For little John Thomas the theme was Winnie the Pooh. He snuggled in […]

Watching families grow is magical. You always seem to forget how small they start when they first are born. Helpless and dependent on you for their every need. You hold them in your arms and marvel at the miracle God has blessed you with. Their tiny fingers curl around yours and all it takes to […]

Sweet little energetic Nora, I’ve had the joy of taking pictures of her from before she was born through her newborn and toddler stages to now when she became a big sister. Leah and Nora, you both look so similar with your adorable cheeks and bright blue eyes. But while Nora was awake and alert […]

There’s something magical about capturing the first few weeks of a newborn’s life, and this photo shoot was no exception. Little Charlie, with his delicate strawberry blonde hair, has already shown a zest for life, especially when it comes to his favorite pastime – eating!

But he also wrestled us and challenged us in sports especially as he passed us in height. The sisters gave too many opinions on every […]

Sibling relationships are constantly evolving and yet many things stay the same. I remember being at family reunions growing up and seeing my dad (the youngest of six kids) interact with his older siblings. In many ways they still treated him like the little brother even though they were all grown adults. There was teasing […]

My father-in-law always says that girls are roses and boys are thorns when he talks about his grandchildren. He definitely has a soft spot for each of his granddaughters. I grew up with 4 sisters and one brother. It was fun sharing rooms, clothes and experiences with my sisters. As we have entered adulthood, they […]
