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 […]
After a weekend of Elles and Ellies and Eleanors, I met Ellis, who also goes by Ellie. Ellis is a family name, and I love the uniqueness and legacy involved. Such a happy little girl Ellis is. And such a mommy’s girl! <3 Mom Anna and I trekked back to the perfect spot, and Ellis […]
When I got the call to photograph the McClintock family, I remembered the family I met with back in December of 2016. At the time, Stephanie was preparing to undergo round one of chemotherapy and had wanted pictures before she shaved her hair. I didn’t know what to expect that day, but I found a […]

The days are getting longer and the snow is melting. ‘Tis the season for portraits! As we gear up for many special mini-session offerings, I want to take just a few moments to clarify the different between mini-sessions and custom sessions. Time Mini-sessions are just that– mini! They’re only 15-20 minutes in length and intended […]
There is something so profound about the love of a little one. They love so freely, so naturally. To see a little one full of love is witnessing this emotion in it’s purist form. It’s unconditional. It’s raw. It’s amazing. It only makes sense to capture these moments– not only because we love our children […]
What do you see when you look at these images? A few random people in some old frames? Memories of looking through old photo albums with Grandma and Grandpa? A bygone era? I, too, see all of these things. But I see so much more. I see the wedding picture of my children’s great-great-grandparents. […]
On Sunday I ventured to rural Annawan to visit the DeSplinter family farm. I had no idea where I was going or what to expect once I got there. What I found was a fun-loving family and beautiful land. I can’t begin to tell you how many times this family laughed together in my time […]
