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 […]

Welcoming a new baby is such a love story, isn’t it? Charlotte’s parents trusted me as their wedding photographer when I was first getting started.  To say I’m honored to get to see them grow from an engaged couple to parents of two daughters just doesn’t seem like enough. Baby Charlotte is a lucky girl, […]

Today was a good day around here—I type this as two tired boys are resting, exhausted from a morning building blanket forts and doing their very best couch-cushion jumps. It was quite the show, and I was happy to be “stuck” here today, watching them leap and laugh and grow braver with each turn. Now […]

Emily and Aaron, I don’t think I can put into words how much I enjoyed being alongside you and your families on this day. Your joy and kindness are unmatched, and I am thrilled that this day is only the beginning for you. Enjoy a few of my favorites! —js —————————————— What was the most memorable […]

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 […]

Oh, internet, this post brings me so much joy. This sweet couple’s engagement pictures were some of the first I ever photographed, and their wedding was one of the first I ever booked (*side note: they just had their 3rd Anniversary!). I was so thankful that they trusted me then with such a special day. […]

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, […]
