November has always been one of my favorite months, but this year it has absolutely won me over by bringing with it such gorgeous weather. After the flooding and constant rain of October, this girl was glad to see sunshine and blue sky! It was on a perfect November day that I met up with the McAllisters last weekend, and I’m so glad I did. 
Enjoy a glimpse into their session:
Thanks again for a great afternoon!
It is always such a privilege for me when I am asked to step into someone’s home and document their family together, and it is one of the things I love most about my job. Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the Lane family. Their adult children, who are spread out on opposite sides of the country now, were both in town visiting family, making it the perfect time for a family photo session. Despite the overcast morning, we had a great session that was filled with laughter. The Lanes are definitely a family that enjoys being around each other and having a good time! Before we get to the family photos, though, we had to take some shots of their son and new wife, recently back from their honeymoon! Enjoy a glimpse~
Thanks again for a wonderful session!
Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing 3 generations of women who are not only beautiful on the outside, but are beautiful inside as well. Their love for one another was so apparent and natural–I loved it! As a fun side note, when I asked Eve where she got one of the twin’s dress, her reply? She made it. I have so much respect for moms as it is, but to do such a great job with twins AND find time to sew super cute dresses for them each season? I am inspired! Without further ado, enjoy a glimpse into our Saturday morning of a tea party on a family quilt, exploring a field, and picking yellow wildflowers:
I had a wonderful time with you all–thanks for inviting me into your time together!

fall definitely rivals spring when it comes to the busy season for me, so i apologize for being a bit behind on blogging. lots has been going on, and i will be catching you up as quickly as i can. in the mean time, enjoy some photos i took of hannah last week. i taught this sweet girl in 6th grade, and it is amazing how much more grown up she looks now as an 8th grader! she is beautiful inside and out and a joy to be around. enjoy!
stay tuned for more sessions and christmas card package info.!
one of the things i love most about my profession is that i have the honor of giving families photos that capture them. as i sort through the pictures after a session, the photos that i find myself coming back to are not necessarily the “cleanest” ones–there may be a strand of hair that has fallen across a little girl’s face or a streak of dirt on a child’s hands. many times it is the in between or imperfect moments that bring out the most feeling and expression. my goal for each and every photo session is to capture, whether through setting or emotion (or both!), the essence of you. before booking me, my clients have read about my philosophy, perused through my pictures, and are ready and willing to give me the freedom to document their family in action. and i love it! this particular session was no different. emily wanted to be sure that i captured her son in his element doing what he loved most: playing soccer. per her instructions, i only took candid photos, allowing me to step back and capture his determination and love for the game. it’s monday and the to-do list is looming, but i will leave you with two of my favorite frames:
