This sweet little one is not only adorable but she is also celebrating her 6 month milestone! Her Mama wanted to tangibly remember this special time and reached out to me. I am SO glad she did!!!
All of these images were taken in their own home and even though this session was all about documenting her as she is I was able to grab a few of her older sister as well. They absolutely love each other and Little bit absolutely lights up when she sees her big sis. (It is just about the sweetest thing ever!)
I love documenting these sweet moments for families. The time just goes by so fast and I love giving parents something that freezes time and brings back all of the memories of that period of life. <3

Words always fail me in these moments… These images represent the precious and sacred thing that is bringing new life in to the world. Elora Grace was welcomed in to this world by 2 very loving parents and 4 very excited older siblings.
I am just so honored to have had the opportunity to help them remember this time in this way.
Life Is Beautiful!
The day you were born.It gives me chills to watch this! There is something sacred about those moments right after a new baby is born and I feel so honored to have had the privileged to document those precious moments for this family.Love is a beautiful thing <3

The way they smell. The way they sound. The way they are completely dependent. Newborns are exhausting and yet make you feel more alive than any other time in your life all in the same moment.
Being a “newborn” is the shortest period in our lives and it is a precious thing to capture. Newborn photography makes those brief and fleeting moments tangible and that is truly priceless.

A babies first birthday. I just passed this milestone for the 4th time with our youngest and I have such mixed feelings about this bittersweet time. The first birthday underscores for me the fact that they are not a baby any more. Have I mentioned that I LOVE babies??? When their first birthday comes around I always have a hard time accepting that my baby is gone and a beautiful spunky toddler has taken their place. I absolutely love watching them learn new things, communicating and watching them explore their world on their own but I still ache for my baby, the one that I see on my phone screen that I saved there only 6 months ago. The first year of life goes by so fast and they change so much!
This little darling was no different. Full of adorable spunk and smiles!!! Her mama did an amazing job styling this first birthday cake smash. All the way from the balloons, custom cake, handmade cake topper, tutu outfit and bubbles. It all worked beautifully together and she made my job so easy!
Happy first birthday sweet girl!!!
A curly little wisp of babyhood is tucked behind her ear. I couldn’t help but capture it <3

Do you remember bringing home your baby from the hospital? The anticipation, how exciting and scary it was to get the discharge paperwork from the hospital, how little they look in their bed, how they smell, how they feel, the little squeaks they make, the way they yawn with their whole body, the feeling that you are this new little persons whole world and there is no one they want more. I remember seeing my husband in a whole new wonderful way when I watched him with our babies. The strong daddy hands that are so careful with this new tiny treasure. These details are just a little part of why I so intensely love lifestyle photography. The images say more, do more than just show how cute or how tiny. They give context, they give meaning, they show something “more” that isn’t tangible.
I love lifestyle photography. It gives a picture of your life. You may not think your life is a “beautiful” worthy of photos but it is. That is why I come to your home for newborn photos. I bring everything with me, the bedding, accessories, heater, blankets, the whole shebang! I set up in a room with good natural light (normally the master bedroom) and just use whatever else is available. I use a “baby lead” approach to posing and I just really love the results of the more natural look of the images. After all, having a baby is about the whole family. The unconditional love, the adjustment and the excitement!
When I look through these photos all I can think of is how excited I am for them. In a blink of an eye she wont be a newborn any more and I am so glad they decided lifestyle newborn photography was worth the investment!

This is Austin. You may remember him from his Newborn Session about 6 months ago. I absolutely LOVE it when parents decide to use my Grow With Me packages! Seeing how babies change and grow is so much fun. Austin is the 3rd boy in this family of 5 and he has some pretty awesome big brothers to teach him all of the important things about growing up! Their Grow With Me package included a family session as well because having photos of just the kids is great, but having them where everyone is together is even better. :-)
So stinking precious!!! <3
I love the way kids eyes light up. It’s only a flash, here and there, and I have to be quick to get it but when I do…
This is what I call a “Mama shot” because this is the way he looks at his Mama every day. <3
So handsome!
Could these boys be any cuter???
Time for some exploring!
Photographing the little details of childhood always make my heart get a little bigger.
This Mama is a bit outnumbered with 4 boys and no other girls in the house ;-)
I LOVE it when parents let their kids play in the water at the end of a session!
Just having fun, playing, being kids. It is such a beautiful thing. Lifestyle photography is so beautifully simple and authentic.

Oh how I love babies <3 I love how they smell, their total dependance, how they love you unconditionally from the moment they are born. I love how they sound, the little squeaks and grunts and how simple things are. Austin is simply perfect. He is lucky enough to have 2 big brothers to watch out for him and he couldn’t be loved more.
All of these images were taken without Austin having to leave his home. No baby sitters needed for his big brothers, we just set everything up on the dining room table and worked as Austin would allow. Newborn sessions take a while longer than my others but they are so worth it.
I had such a hard time choosing my favorites from his images. These are only a few of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed working on them ;-)

My life is a little crazy right now… It is a wonderful crazy but crazy none the less. I am determined to rock this “mom of 4” thing but right now I feel like I am barely keeping my head above water! Emma was born August 1st and I gave myself 1 month before we started our home-school year. Our last 3 weeks of school have gone great but there is no way to get around the fact that it is just one more time intensive thing that I have to fit in the day. Ethan is 6 and working his way through 1st grade, Lauren is 3 and enjoying lots of preschool activities, Noah is 1 and BUSY, Emma is 7 weeks old now and is just needing the normal amount of attention a newborn requires.
Did I mention my life is crazy right now? lol
When my husband and I got married he said he wanted 3-4 kids and I said 4-5… Fast forward 11 years and our 4th child is 7 weeks old and I am struggling with the idea that this might be our last baby. I LOVE babies so this is a hard thing for me to process through. Do I want to be pregnant again? NO! Am I feeling overwhelmed with what is currently on my plate? YES! Do I dream of a time when I will have more time to devote to my photography business? ALL the time! Am I ready for the idea of being “done” with babies? Now that is a MUCH harder question to answer…
With that said, our most recent addition was not a “planned” addition. We knew we wanted another baby but she was not “in the plan” yet. This past year was supposed to be all about JMP! Instead I spent it pregnant and knowing that I would have to take things much slower. It was a struggle. I had planed out the whole year already and all of the sudden everything I had planned needed to be changed or put on hold. Emma is just about the sweetest little person you have ever met. I can’t imagine our life without her and she has 3 adoring older siblings that we have to protect her from because of how “aggressively” they love on her! We are blessed beyond measure and I thank God every day that he didn’t let me have my plan.
I was busy cleaning up our living room trying to get ready for company and glanced over to her swing. I can’t express the love I have for this little person. She is simply perfect, exactly the way God intended her to be, in our family for a reason. How is that not one of the most beautiful things in life?
How she can possibly sleep this peacefully through a 6, 3 and 1 year old’s noise I have no idea but I know without a doubt she is a precious gift and I refuse to wish away the days! I am going to try my hardest to soak it all in, because babies don’t keep and she just might be my last…

One of the things I really enjoy about the social media side of being a photographer is getting to interact and be in community with all of the other talented artists that use a camera as well. In one of the groups I am in, I ran in to Michelle and I am thrilled to be doing a Artist Feature of her and her work! She shoots a lot of weddings but she is in love with newborn and child photography. I had the opportunity to ask her a few questions and I am thrilled to share her answers with you!!!
.
Where did the love of photography begin?
About ten years ago I was heavily involved in dog and cat shows, since I was a member of the club someone had to walk around and take pictures for the Club that was sponsoring the event. I purchased my first Nikon D70 and I have to admit I was in “automatic” back then however the pictures were great for what I was doing. I have now graduated to a Nikon D700 and D300 and I shoot in Manual mode. I have taken classes and workshops to better my photography skills and I continue to learn something new everyday!
What is my dream session?
To be honest I have not done a newborn twin session and I can honestly say I cant wait til then….. I will continue to practice so I will be very prepared for that special day!
How would I describe my style? and How does that style reflect me as a artist?
My style can be describe as light and airy with a lot of natural texture to it. On occasions I do push for a classic touch of formal with today’s twist to my photography. And this is so very much like me. I love the very natural light colors and now moving to the white’s, creams and very light pastel colors but again every once in while I will throw a rich color in to add some variety.
What are my personal goals for 2014?
My first goal is to “lock ” newborn photography ….. to create some of the newborn poses and have a system or flow about what I am doing during a session. I like to be consistent with everything I do so that you get great at it and then you can add more to your process.
My second goal was to “lock” in my reception lighting. As a second shooter for two wedding photographer’s, I really need to perfect my flash photography , and after completing a one on one with a very experienced wedding photographer , I feel I have a great grip on what I am doing in the category now!
.
.
My favorite photography gear Nikon or Canon??
Nikon of course, since it happened to be the brand I purchased ten years ago. I have used a Canon in the past and love the images just the same as my own gear! My favorite lens of choice is the Nikon 28-70 mm 2.8 lens. Of course I would love to own the 24-70 lens but that is still out of my price range for the moment.
.
.
What is my favorite place to seek inspiration as an artist?
I have several places where I go to seek inspiration as a artist. First… I love pinterest! I can spend all day just looking at all of the beautiful photo’s posted. I also use Creative Live for inspiration as there are tons of great photographer instructors on the site that have such great video’s and tools!
.
.
What are my favorite images right now??
A far as my newborn images I have taken to a couple of images that I recently shot of a newborn, and what I love about these pictures is that they are completely natural and portraits. Just beautiful and simple.
