Oh, sweet baby! Welcome to the spinning world! Newborn sessions are just a delight, especially with babies, toddlers and families as lovely as this. Little Nola was only 7 days old at our session and slept like a dream. She stopped for nursing and fell right back to sleep each time. What an absolutely perfect […]

These sweet kiddos have had such a warm, family filled spring! This time with a visit from their grandparents on their mama’s side. I got to photograph Kira, JoAnn, Dave and her sweet littles in the magnolias when they were at their beautiful peak bloom. We had a tea party with Mimi and Papa and […]

Toddlers are my favorite people! They are such beautiful, spirited, fun little humans. I just adore how you get such a good sense of their personality and who they are as people. I got to meet sweet little Ruthie and her mama at the park and beach, just before the spring rain and things started […]

Happy mother’s day to all the mamas! As we settle into the busy season of spring and the end of the school year, I want to take a moment to touch on body positivity and vulnerability. We live in a culture that tells us, especially women, that our bodies are less then. Until they look […]

With all of this late spring snow and cold hanging around, it’s nice to think about summer. This is another one of my summer favorites! These mamas came with literally a trunk full of goodness. Fun stuff for their littles, outfits, snacks, and their sweet dog. I love when I’m at a session and even […]

This January, I entered an international photo contest. I’ve never submitted work before so this was both exciting and nerve wracking! 413,000 photos were entered from 175,000 Entrants and Voters, 81 million contest votes were cast. Photographers entered and voted from 160 countries. We were encouraged to go all in and enter 50 photos. It […]

Generational photos are such a window into families, especially families you’ve grown to know and love well. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know the Rama family, first through our children’s friendship at Woodland Montessori school, and now through our own friendship. I’ve had the absolute honor of photographing Kira’s business, their family as […]

This summer, I had the pleasure of taking headshots with the lovely staff at the UW Financial Aid Department. Grown-up photos are always a fun shift, because I definitely don’t have to make the silliest faces or play hide and seek but I still get to be ridiculous and have fun with some great people. […]

My photography page has been a bit quiet this month as my family and I have been traveling. I have always loved travel. Long before kiddos, my partner and I travelled together. Our honeymoon involved quite a bit of couch surfing and sleeping on the floor of a cave with some other (very awesome!) travelers. […]

The longer days have me longing for the warmth of summer. And this beautiful summer session we did for Harvey’s 9 month session was a dream! I just adore when clients have the best secret spots (this beach with soft sand and perfect waves was a favorite for this family). Samantha has hands down, the […]
