After several reschdules due to many different reasons, including Covid, Katie and her boys finally got in front of my camera! It was worth the wait! After meeting at the Hamburg Tree park, we headed over to their home. They just recently purchased their home and wanted to incorporate it in their session. I am […]

Here is an example of pure craziness and love! Amber and Carrie took me on an adventure just outside of Amber’s hometown. It was one of the hottest days this summer. There were bugs, blood and dewey faces during their session but they rolled with the punches. I’m not sure that any other family could […]

Im sure I have said it before and I will say it again and again but, I really love senior portrait sessions! Olivia and her mom spent the evening with me at Botanical Gardens and I don’t think it could have gone any better! The light, the location and Olivia were just perfect! Senior portrait […]

We had all agreed that having to cancel our scheduled portrait sessions is one of the hardest parts about being outdoor portrait photographers. […]

  I know! I know! There’s no snow on the ground and the holiday music hasn’t begun, I get it. However, the sun is setting earlier and the leaves are starting to fall. Now is the time to book your holiday portrait session. Take a look at the images below. Are they adorable? Timeless? Would […]

    Sarah’s senior portraits started off on the outer harbor near a light house that Sarah holds dear. This light house has a stunning view of the city so I can see why she loves it there. Sarah isn’t a fussy senior, her hair flew wild and she didn’t feel the need to change […]
