It was such a blessing to be able to work with this sweet family again. Last spring I had such a blast documenting a very special weekend for Jackie and Cooper, when friends and family gathered from across the country to celebrate their baby boy's baptism and first birthday.
Read MoreWhen I first met and worked with Morgan and Nick, they had just found out that they were expecting. And with all the anticipation and delight that comes with that wonderful, life-changing news, they wanted to embrace and document the chapter of their lives when it was still just two. We shot a beautiful couples session at Bowman Bay, and I watched these two amazing souls melt into each other. It was so lovely, and honest, and beautiful.
Read MoreThe girls and I try to head home for a few weeks every summer while daddy is working. We get to play in the hot Nebraska sun, run through sprinklers with cousins, and catch up with old friends. I'm lucky that one of my oldest and dearest friends Carrie is also in Omaha, and make sure to carve out time to grab lunch and catch up.
Read MoreBaby Charlie is about as cute as babies come. And in his family of seven, he's got quite a lot of competition between his four older brothers and sisters. Mom and dad clearly have their act together, sharing and splitting both snuggle-time with Charlie and play-time with the older kiddos.
Read MoreThis little guy had quite the weekend celebrating both his baptism ceremony and first birthday party on Whidbey Island, WA. I met the handsome Mr. Theodore Council when I documented his baptism ceremony the day before, and the party continued as family and friends gathered to celebrate a year of firsts that ended with - what else?! CAKE!
Read MoreWhat a beautiful, blessed day this was! I was lucky enough to spend the morning with this large, loving family as they witnessed Theodore Council's baptism ceremony. And what a child of God this little man already is! Honestly - at just one year old, Council is one of the happiest babies you will every meet. And he is so very loved, not just by proud parents Jackie and Cooper (both in the Navy), but also by all the family and friends who traveled from across the country to celebrate this amazing little boy.
Read MoreThe Thompson family gave me all the feels as we met to document three generations of love and laughter at Deception Pass State Park on Whidbey Island, WA. I was lucky enough to document Leslie’s gorgeous belly in a windy maternity session as she and Kyle awaited the arrival of their precious son, Luke.
Read MoreI absolutely loved taking this sweet family's portraits last week at Deception Pass State Park. Clearly the star of the show was 12-month old Ike, whose cheeks were so squishable I seriously had to hold myself back. The Kuhnert's are starting a new chapter of their life here on Whidbey, and what a great way to mark the milestone (and Ike's first birthday) by getting some fresh pictures for their new walls.
Read MoreWhen Kelly contacted me and asked if she and Paul could come up from Seattle for a maternity session on Whidbey Island, I jumped at the chance. Kelly and I were sorority sisters at the University of Kansas, but haven't seen each other in years. It was such a pleasure to catch up over dinner and meet each other's families before heading out for a gorgeous sunset session.
