Studio Session

Ella and her brother, Jackson, are so easy to take pictures of.  Ella’s surely a princess and Jackson loves to make her laugh and look out for her, which made for some great photos!  I always like to begin 12-month sessions with family and sibling shots, then finish with the cake, so everyone can get messy, right along with the cake smasher!

Studio Session

Miss Reese was a fantastic model for my new Heidi Hope Backdrops!  I loved the soft colors and subtle touches of this session, that make it girly, but timeless!   Interested in a Cake Smash Session? Contact Us!

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!
