Below, I’ll walk you through several reasons why an indoor portrait session is actually a great idea, even if it’s a perfect 75 degrees and sunny outside.

Read MoreThis session was such a treat to photograph! Not only were Ashton and Nick a delight to meet and work with, but it really warms my heart to see people celebrating the phase of life they’re in, even if big changes are on the horizon. The message here is you don’t have to wait for the next big thing! Life can be beautiful right now. No one says if you celebrate today you can’t celebrate again tomorrow or next month or next year!
Read MoreOkay, bear with me, because I’m about to share a potentially unpopular opinion.
If you feel uneasy when being photographed (and even if you feel completely comfortable), my advice is to ignore the camera. Seriously, don’t even look at it!

With two energetic young boys and their adoring parents, I had the privilege of capturing their beautiful journey in the tranquil suburb of Simsbury, Connecticut.

As if being a parent and an active-duty Air Force family wasn’t enough, these two also recently completed their master’s degrees! Those are definitely accomplishments worth remembering.
Read MoreOh wow, this was such a cool session!

Read MoreOh, what a beautiful evening we had to photograph Margaret and her boys! They were truly such a joyful family, and we had a great time playing and exploring. This spot is definitely a favorite of mine for its versatility and interest.
Read MoreI’ve had a few newborn photography inquiries lately, so I thought it was about time I blog this sweet session with the adorable baby Zoe to give prospective clients an idea of how a newborn session typically goes when you invite me to document your precious new arrival.
Read MoreThink your kids are too active for professional photography? These parents definitely had some trepidation about how this session would go because their little girl is BUSY.

My neighbor, Vicki, has the most beautiful home and an even more beautiful English garden in her back yard. So, you can imagine, I was thrilled when I was invited to take her daughter’s maternity pictures. As you can see, Sydney makes a gorgeous pregnant lady, so we
