Cake Smash

These summer cake smashin’ ideas are fun, colorful and make the sweetest backdrop for any one-year-old! Fruit themes like Lemonade and Watermelon (also known as “One in a Melon”) are great choices for a brighter set design, especially for girls! Ice cream is another great option and can be a boy or girl’s first birthday […]

Summer Sessions

I had been anticipating this session for quite some time!  I seriously love photographing twins. Many people assume it would be a harder session, but at this age, before they’re walking, it’s simpler than you think!  Their birthday theme, “Pirates and Princesses” was adorable and a fun set to create, with their mom’s help!  Happy […]

midwest newborn, cake smash + family photographer

I have always had a love for art and storytelling. Photography allows me to combine my journalism background and my artistic point-of-view, which has become my dream career!

I am a wife, mom, and small business owner. On the days when I'm not at the studio, you can find me at home, editing, busy with my boys, or maybe redecorating my house, because the artsy-side of my mind just doesn't stop!
