Sydney is One!

It is always an honor to photograph a newborn and then see her back in the studio one year later to celebrate her first birthday.  This little cutie was all grown up from when I last saw her.  She’s walking, and full of adorable little expressions. One of my favorites is of her with her […]

Baby girl 10 months milestone

Emery’s Milestone Session

All you need is Face Time. Emery is 10 months old and made me feel pretty special when she reached out to give me a hug and let me hold her for a bit.  She stared at me; thought I was okay in her book, and then quickly moved on.  She was pretty calm and […]

Everleigh’s Milestone Session

I’m cute and I don’t care who knows it!  Everleigh is almost 9 months old, and I knew that I had a new friend when she smiled at me as as soon as she came through the door.  When we first started taking photos in the studio, she was probably thinking, “Hmm…what are we doing […]
