For years, I always wanted to be a ‘reader’. But making the space and time to read wasn’t a big priority in my day. Finally, about five years ago, I set a goal to read 10 books in the year. I quickly surpassed my goal and started a small book club with some girlfriends, leading […]

Last week, Drea celebrated her birthday! She planned for her family session to be on that day and I couldn’t think of a better gift. I loved when she picked up one of her little ones and she proudly began singing happy birthday to her. It was the sweetest thing ever! I personally have known […]

If you have been following along for a few years, I am sure you recognize the Whalen family! They have been one of my biggest supports over the years, and I really can’t thank them enough for everything they do for me personally and in business. It’s been a joy seeing them return each year […]

I had the privilege of meeting the Hanson family, this fall for a session. How adorable are they? I absolutely love when I get to photograph a new family and get to know them. Cecelia brought so much joy to the session and I couldn’t get enough of her and her spunky personality.

I first had the honor of meeting the Theisen family last fall for a mini session. The girls were dressed in the cutest fall clothing and had the sweetest smiles and personalities. I was excited to get a email from them this winter asking if I could have a session for Elin’s one year photos. […]
