A couple of weeks ago I shared just how busy my fall season is. (I may or may not have made an emergency run to the grocery store last night when I realized I was out of coffee.☕☕☕) My calendar is swimming with family photos, maternity sessions, one year olds, and lots of new babies! […]
If you were here last week, then you know I love everything about fall photos. My calendar is packed full and I get to catch up with so many of my clients this time of year. I always ask what questions I can answer for them and most often I get a reply that sounds […]

Ok moms-this one’s for you: Photographing Your Child’s Birthday Party. Let me tell you how birthday parties play out at my house…especially first birthdays. 🥳 ✔️ 6 months out- I can’t believe she’s halfway to one! It’s going so fast.

I’m sitting in a coffee shop right now, looking out the window. The light is beautiful and I wish I had my camera. But the sun is shifting quickly and I know it won’t last. Let’s talk a little about that light today. When’s the best time of day to take photos and why? Now I […]
