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! 
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)!
It is always so flattering for a fellow photographer to ask you to take their family photos. Meg and John met me out in Highland Park on a chilly afternoon in December with their pup for portraits. Here are a few of my favorites! (To be honest, it’s more than a few. I had a hard time picking favorites, lol)
If you look closely, you can see the first little snowflakes for the season in these mini sessions! Burnt orange leaves on the ground, with winter sneaking in. I wrapped up my 2016 mini sessions with these three adorable families on a chilly Sunday by the lake. Lots of fun photos and warming up with snuggle photos. 🙂
This family session means so much for so many reasons. I have watched these kiddos grow so much over the past 4 years, from adorable babies to awesome children. They have such an amazing and fun energy, that I always forget I am working! In addition, one of the family pups passed away less than a week after our session. My heart breaks for this beautiful family, but I am so glad I was with them to snap a few shots. I know Nayah is in puppy heaven, having a ball. <3 XOXO
I love mini sessions! So many cute kiddos in one afternoon. Below you will find the first day of 2016’s fall minis with three adorable families. Lots of fun, smiles, and autumn leaves!
There is nothing more amazing than a newborn baby. I feel so lucky to be invited into a family’s home as they embark on parenthood. Jill and Brian are wonderful people and have already become great parents to their beautiful baby girl, Cora. Plus, if you love Penn State, this will be your kind of kiddo. 🙂
