As I talked with Starla, leading up to her session, we ended up connecting on so many levels! First off, she is a photographer herself. (I always consider it an extra special compliment when others in my field, ask me to document their moments for them. <3 ) We eventually got a bit more “deep” and she shared with me how hard and full of personal loss these past 2 years has been, but also, the beautiful hope this new little soul has brought to her family. As I listened, I felt myself put a bit of “extra” pressure on myself to make these images for this sweet family amazing.
The longer I do this, the more I realize how important it really is. I don’t ever want to produce “photos”. I want more. I want to use this artistic medium to not only document, but ultimately REMEMBER. When I shoot my own family, I do it because I want to have the certainty that I will never forget. I want to craft the images in such a way that the sight of one will bring memories right back to the moment and time that it was taken. To remember every single detail.
In the end, that is my “why” for pursuing photography. To simply have the certainty that I will never forget.
And that is my commitment to every single person that comes in front of my lens. To give them images that will help them remember the beautiful reality of their right now. Forever.

It is such a wonderful privilege to get to photograph a good friend! Melody and I have been friends for almost 3 years now. She is also a small business owner, designing small batch boutique clothing for children. She home schools her kids! (Between the small businesses, kids, cute clothing and home schooling we have a good bit to talk about. lol)
We met in Hobby Lobby, started chatting, exchanged business cards, (she needed photos and I love cute kids clothing) and the rest has been such a fun experience of making a good friend.
My jaw just about hit the floor when she told me they have never had professional family photos taken… I mean, I have taken lots of photos of her girls and son (we use our own kids for clothing models A LOT) but never all together. We had so much fun and I am so thankful they chose me. <3

Ummm kay… This little girl. First off, she is ADORABLE isn’t she?!? But second, oh my goodness! So much personality and humor. I got such a kick out of her little chats and comments throughout their session. She has such a sweet little soul. <3
This family has having fun together figured out. So many tickles, hugs, smushes, giggles and squeezes through out the evening and every bit of it came naturally. It is obvious that they practice this sort of thing at home all the time. ;-)

Getting to watch these two girls grow has been such a treat! It has been 3 years now and I just love them.
and now these…
I always love looking back. Not only because I can see my personal growth, but also, because this is their families visual history! I have been so honored to be invited to document their days and details. They have stuck with me through all of the years, and they hold a very special place in my heart. To be chosen, over and over again, is such a huge compliment.

I had the beautiful privilege of documenting Holly and Nathan’s wedding a few months ago. (You can find their wedding photos < — here) More than anything, Holly wanted family photos. Their marriage not only made them “man and wife” but it also made 2 more “brother and sister”. If that weren’t sweet enough already, the way their little girl looks at her new big brother is simply precious.
It is hard to describe how light changes throughout the seasons. It has taken me a LONG time to “see light”. Just take my word for it, the golden tones of the sun are SO much more golden in the Fall. I had set aside time this past month to focus on some teaching/mentoring opportunities, so I hadn’t shot a session in a while. The difference in the light from just a few weeks ago was amazing! This evening couldn’t have been more perfect or beautiful. The tones, light and people were pure bliss.
lol
Long story short, it was a super fun way to end an absolutely perfect evening. <3

Can you tell we had fun? No seriously! These 4 ladies were so full of joy and laughter, my face hurt from smiling by the end of their session. It wasn’t the “polite” laughing either. It was that laughter that comes from a deep seeded love that spilled over in to their hearts and bubbled out through their voices.
Often I hear it during a session. I do my best to create situations that inspire genuine emotions, but to be honest, it gets harder and harder as the kids get older. To have a 16, 10 and 8 year old show so much open love and affection for their mom, and to enjoy each other so completely, is gorgeous to observe. It was such a privilege to document this special time in their lives.
This is a love worth documenting.
This is the beauty we never want to forget.
These are the moments our mama hearts cherish.

Wana know what my FAVORITE part of my job is? Getting to see those intimate gorgeous “real” moments in the “in between”. Sure! I do an awful lot of directing, prompting, suggesting, and I have been know to reach out and move someones head a bit with my hands to get it in the perfect spot. lol. but all of that is just leading up to the beauty. The beauty is 100% not under my control. The moments are 100% a reflection of something that is already there. Unconditional love.
It’s breathtaking.
I never get tired of it… After almost 5 years of photographing families and processing thousands of images, it is still my absolute favorite part. Getting to see the kids light up when they look at their parents, and watching mom and dad’s hearts melt as they respond to the adoration their kids are lavishing on them.
It’s priceless.
This little guy just turned 1! His mama wanted to document these moments to celebrate him and his world. I honestly can’t imagine a better gift. He won’t remember the party or the gifts, but these will be his memories that he gets to look back on. Ones of family snuggles, daddy hugs, mommy kisses and a big brother that absolutely adores him.
It’s important.

I have known this family for a good bit now, and had the pleasure of photographing Deb’s 2 girls and their families. After 2 years, they have added even MORE adorable grand babies. Deb recently realized how long it had been since their last family portrait, so she called me, and we set a date!
I absolutely love getting to see the same families over and over again. I love watching them grow and change over time. As the kids got out of the car, I could hear them yelling “Their here! Their here!!!” and the moment they were allowed, the cousins ran towards each other with hugs. I couldn’t help but smile. This family loves so well, and it is such a pleasure to make that love tangible for them.

This family is one of my FAVORITES!!! They have been coming to me for 3 years now and I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed watching these boys grow.
Just click to take a peek at their (–> first session <–) and (–> second session <–)
My style has changed over the years, and their images just get sweeter every time they come to see me. I view it as such a privilege to be invited in to their lives, over and over again, and there is absolutely nothing that I take as a higher compliment. To trust me with these moments that are so fleeting and precious is not lost on me.
On another note, these two boys are the BEST big brothers! They were so careful and protective of their new baby, and it was the sweetest thing to watch.
Karen, you are severely outnumbered, but you are surrounded with boys that love you to pieces. God knew you would be an amazing “boy mom”. <3 <3 <3 (However, I am still praying you decide to have one more and it’s a girl! lol. How adorable would the photos be with a little sweet pea and her 3 big brothers?!?!) <– Too soon? Ok… I can wait. ;-)

I met Melody a couple years ago in Hobby Lobby as we waited in the fabric line to get something cut. I looked down and she had the cutest little girls decked out the most gorgeous clothes! I asked here where they were from, and she confessed that they were samples that she had made for her boutique children’s clothing label Petticoat Patch. We talked the whole time we stood in line, exchanged business cards and have been friends ever since! lol
I was so happy when she asked me to take some photos of her with her youngest to commemorate his first birthday. Happy Birthday sweet boy.
