How many girls get to throw glitter in the air? Roll around in it? Make snow angels? The short answer: not very many. Perhaps that is the source of success for Ivy Lane’s glitter mini-sessions. No other mother in her right mind would allow such a crazy mess in her own house. Despite the mess […]
Today I met Joseph Oscar and I quickly learned a few things– ~ Joseph has his mommy wrapped around his precious little fingers. ~ He likes to be swaddled nice and warm. ~ He has strong lungs. ~ Daddy Kyle can comfort and calm him in only a few seconds. And, given that Joseph was […]
It all began well over a year ago. Kyle put a ring on it. I was there for the engagement pictures and the wedding day. It only makes sense that I would meet them at Sinnissippi Park to continue the trend. Kyle and Sabrina know they will be welcoming a little boy in mid-July, and I […]
I’ve had the pleasure of capturing this spunky girl for three years now. Every year around her birthday, we spend an hour or so walking around the farm, exploring the family’s land, and letting this youngster be young. Here’s a look back at Grace’s third and fourth birthday portraits. She’s got the ornery twinkle in […]
When this Arizona native requested snow for his senior portraits, Mother Nature did not disappoint. There was so much snow, in fact, that much of what we had in mind wasn’t possible in the alleys, streets, and overpasses of Clinton, Iowa. So, we had to schedule another session in the spring at Eagle Point Park. […]
When Josie’s mom, Brooke, saw Ivy Lane’s lemonade stand mini-sessions, she knew this would be perfect for Josie’s second birthday portraits! We met on the corner of State Street and Highway 6 at the Geneseo city park, and Josie took right to the lemons. She spent a good while stacking them and moving them before […]
Sometimes it’s so easy for me to forget how magical this moment is to the little girls who meet Starry Night. I mean, I’m so worried about the logistics– driving directions, time slots, lighting, location– that I forget that this is a surreal moment for my unicorn kiddos and mamas. Since this was my second […]
I’ve worked with this family a number of times this past year, and was super excited when Staci scheduled three-year portraits for Dylan! Here’s the little boy I was expecting– captured back in September of 2017. This spunky little redhead is 100% boy! He enjoys all the things that little boys enjoy– playing with trucks […]
Have you ever met a kiddo who loved watermelon over cake? Let me introduce you to one… This is Miss EmmaLee. Cake smashes are so much fun, and my time with this little lady was no different! EmmaLee’s mom wanted a watermelon themed set-up and even brought some fresh fruit props. Before we got the […]
You guys. I have to tell you about this fabulous new store in downtown Geneseo — MIVA. MIVA is owned by Morgan Thurman, a relative newcomer to the area. I got to sit down with Morgan yesterday to talk business, products, mission, and family. It was clear to see that this fun-loving gal has such […]
