There is something incredibly special about photographing a brand-new baby, and sweet Paul Worley made this session one to remember. At just a week and a half old, Paul was the most precious little fella. He spent much of the session peacefully snuggled up with those slow-blinking newborn eyes that seem to melt your heart. […]

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.

It is the ideal time to take a day climb up Pinnacle mountain or have a picnic at the park. Growing up many of our family vacations were spent […]

My brother always wanted a brother. Instead he was blessed with 5 sisters. He was dressed up pretty and might have even had his fingers nails painted at one point. 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 […]
