Reminiscing about this sweet Mother + Daughter session last spring at Willow General Store. Such a joy to spend time creating with these two. So excited for spring, friends!     *If you’re interested in a similar session of you and your little ones, I’m offering Limited Edition Motherhood Sessions next month. Sign up here […]

If you know my friend, Laura, you likely adore her. A few spring seasons ago, when her first baby was a toddler and Laura was expecting her second, I asked her to model for me. I’d recently purchased a film camera, and wanted to try it out in a not-wedding scenario—where I could fumble and […]

You can read all about my inspiration for Newborn Photography and how I approach it here, but today I wanted to begin to break down what an in-home newborn session with me looks like, so that as you prepare, you’ll know what to expect. As I sat down to write this, I realized it was […]

After finally getting him to sleep, I placed our new baby boy on our bed to photograph him. I’d been trying to simplify my approach to photographing newborns—resisting the (self-inflicted) pressure to capture this fleeting stage like others do so well; with borrowed props and a list of poses—some that require digital composites of more […]

Remember these two? It’s been such a blessing to see them grow; from newly-engaged, to newly-wed, and then to newly-a family. I’ve been so very honored to be a part of these milestones, and when they were in the Black Hills last fall, I could hardly contain myself at the thought of taking their family […]

A few weeks ago, just as the leaves began turning into Autumn versions of themselves, I got to meet up with Phil, Thi, Natalie, and Jack for family portraits. We’d originally hoped to take them early this summer, but plans changed, and I’m really thankful. It’s tough to beat photos of Spearfish in the fall, […]

Dereck, Deidre and Cammy met me at the park a couple of weeks ago for family pictures. Our first attempt was called on account of rain (crazy year we’ve had), so I couldn’t wait to see them again. Kids like Cammy are part of the reason I love what I do.  Her smiles are genuine and […]
