So! The other day I was live on Instagram for the FIRST TIME. EKKKK. I was nervous but I knew it was important to pop on to talk about our Mother’s Day Gift Certificate. Here is a little recap if you missed it or you couldn’t hear me (yikes, tech issues). This is for the […]

This family did not let the rain stop them for their portrait session! Hooray!!! Bobby, Lauren and their little love decided on Botanical Gardens for their session due to the rain. I can’t even handle how adorable their portraits turned out. Take a look!   We strolled through the different greenhouses and stayed warm! There […]

You guys! There is never a dull moment in the lives of parents who are out numbered. Kathleen and Kevin have their work cut out for them with these little ones!  Their house in no doubt filled with lots of love and chaos!          The Kubera’s really toughed it out for this session. […]

Little Luca has turned one! She is a lover of bubbles but does not love hats! Her smile is infectious. Marissa, Gabe and big brother Eliot just love this sweet girl! You can see it in their faces.   A perfect family on a perfect early morning!      Can we talk about this dreamy […]

I’m not sure I have ever laughed as hard during a portrait session as I did with these girls! There is something to be said about a family who can naturally laugh and joke with each other. They are doing it right! Rachel and Ian are molding their girlies into confident, unique young women. It […]
