Sitting Up Session

I love the sitter session, which is the middle session for my Baby Plan clients.  This is the fun age where baby is able to sit independently, play and laugh!  Maddy was such a friendly little baby! I loved the clean backgrounds with her dark hair and big smile!  I know mom and dad are […]

Summer Sessions

Cardinals’ red always photographs well and it was so cute for this family’s first photo session! We were able to catch the last vibrant greens of the summer and Langston was so easy to photograph! (His grandma made him smile – I can’t take credit for that!)  Happy first birthday, buddy!  You were a baby […]

Outdoor

I love when my clients have a specific birthday theme – it’s almost like a challenge!  I love envisioning the pictures, based on their ideas and was super excited for Beau’s “Wild One” birthday theme!  His mom brought along the perfect props and I had the teepee (which isn’t used enough, I’ve decided!).  It has […]

Spring Outdoor Sessions

I have been taking Brinley’s pictures for a whole year now – and her mom always has the best props!  The table and chair set was her mommy’s when she was little, and it was the perfect addition to her birthday pictures!  Minnie made an appearance at her tea party, then we finished the session […]

Studio Session

This sweet girl was so happy for her first birthday pictures yesterday!  She is the flower girl in a wedding we are shooting tomorrow, so hopefully she still has some smiles left!  Her session included pictures in mommy’s silver wedding shoes and her mommy’s sequins dance tutu, from when she was little!  I love how […]

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!
