The Blog

When I heard that this birthday boy loved Star Wars, I told his mommy to be sure to bring along his favorite things so we could capture what he really loves at this stage.  Turning 5 is so much fun!!! We did some traditional portraits like this one, but I just had to share more […]

Another one of my Milestones babies ‘graduates’ is featured today on the blog!   *sniff*  It is bittersweet for me when one of MY babies turns 1 year old.  I first photographed Zachary when he was still in his mommy’s belly and was honored to capture his birth so that his daddy, who was deployed […]

When I spoke with this momma-to-be before our session, she told me that she did not like to have her pictures taken and would like me to just focus on her belly.  But when I saw her in person, I couldn’t imagine why!  What a beauty she is – and I hope that she sees […]

Facebook is an amazing tool – a way to connect with people across the country (or even world!) that you might not otherwise communicate with.  About a year ago, I re-connected with some old (and I use that term loosely now that I’m in my 30’s – ha ha!) friends from my hometown in Ohio. […]

My dear friend asked me to capture her expanding family and I couldn’t be happier to do so.  I am super excited to also be there to photograph her birth this fall – her second VBAC! Her idea for putting the family’s handprints on her belly was so cute – her son chose all the […]

This little 5lb ball of sweetness was a bit older than my usual newborn, and tinier too!  I always marvel at the littlest newborns who visit my home studio since my own son was 9lb 10oz at birth.  These teeny tiny little ones are so much fun for me to play with!   Enjoy your […]

Although she made me work for it, some of my all-time favorite newborn photos are in this little (well, if a 9lb 14oz baby can be called ‘little’) newborn’s gallery!  She definitely wasn’t the soundest sleeper I’ve ever photographed, but the hard work paid off in these shots!  What dreamy cheeks she has!!

I just had to sneak peek a few of these beautiful family photos from last night’s beach session.  It was a celebration – with 14 family members from Virginia and Canada (yep, our neighbor to the north!) celebrating these twins’ baptism weekend.  They are absolutely the cutest pair I’ve seen – well since my last […]

A sweet little sleeper visited me early this week – and I had so much fun playing with her!  Enjoy the peek at Laura Grace! I just love this knitted princess crown! And, if you follow my blog you know that I have a thing with baby toes!

Technically, you’ve met her before…her birth story was featured on the blog recently!  But here is her first official portrait session.  She was over nine pounds at birth and I just loved cuddling all those rolls. Her mommy brought this Minnie Mouse hat and diaper cover along and it was so adorable! She started smiling […]
