Little Avery is one! We took lots of pictures to capture the milestone in West Park with her family. We had to seek shelter under a big tree by the Aviary due to a rain storm, but luckily the sun came out for a few shots towards the end.
I love watching my best friend’s family growing up. Happy Birthday, Avery!
My niece is about to wrap up her first trip around the sun! This little lady stole my heart when she made her grand entrance into our lives. I utterly adore her perfect little face (whether that’s with a cheesy smile or being super serious) <3 We enjoyed a warm morning in West Park with balloons and many puffs.
Time is flying! Just a minute ago I was meeting newborn baby James, and here we are getting ready to celebrate his 1st Birthday! We spent an evening crawling around the backyard snapping pics and chatting about his big party coming up! I can’t wait to celebrate with them, but in the meantime, here are a couple of my favorite shots.
Morganne and Andrew are both incredibly beautiful and sweet. From the moment I met them last year, I knew I needed to be their wedding photographer, because they had such a great vision for their wedding day. This was a PERFECT way to kick off the 2017 season. I am so happy for them in their marriage AND wish them the very best in their move to Seattle (my favorite city in the world). Plus they invited me to visit <3<3 Congratulations to this great couple!
Thank you to the lovely Megan Evangeliste for being an incredible second shooter. Her shots are mixed in below.

I was so happy to hear that another one of my lovely bride and grooms were adding a third this year. Caroline arrived a touch ahead of schedule, and couldn’t be more perfect. She was so comfortable and sweet while we took photos with her parents and puppy. She even gave me a sweet little wave goodbye at the end! 
We celebrated Marin’s 1st trip around the sun with lots of friends, family, and treats! Surrounded by so many kiddos, she dove into her smash cake with two hands and one foot. 🙂 I couldn’t be happier for this gal, and I’m glad I could be apart of their celebration. Happy 1st birthday, little lady!
It’s an incredible journey as a photographer to be there with a couple when they exchange their wedding vows, and again as they embark on parenthood. Chelsea and Kevin welcomed their perfect baby girl, Norah, into the world and invited me into their home to capture this amazing new start. I couldn’t be happier for the three of them (plus little Leo)!
Elias had an awesome “Lumberjack” themed 1st Birthday party! I feel like this little man was just born. Time is flying! It was another great afternoon with one of my oldest client families 🙂 Happy Birthday, Kiddo!
I was so thrilled to hear from this beautiful girl’s mom about scheduling a senior portrait session. Mayme is the younger sister to another one of my clients who graduated 3 years ago. As I anticipated, she was just as cool and awesome as her big sis. Congratulations Mayme!
Nate is graduating from high school in 2017! We took a quick trip downtown for a couple of portraits to celebrate. Good luck with your senior year!
