Well, I’m embarrassingly late for this newborn blog. Oofta. After a long winter of little to no shoots, I have over 20 shoots in May alone. April was full of fun newborn shoots like this sweet one from the Galahan family. Funny story. Last time I was in their home was for their daughter’s newborn […]

I received an inquiry from Alexis and Colin during an interesting time in my life. I had just had an interview with a business that has nothing to do with my prior career (teaching) and I felt a little lost in life in general. Limbo if you will. Enter: the sweet ding on my phone […]

Coming to your home after a new baby arrives for a newborn lifestyle photo session makes everyone’s life easier. No rushing out the door with a days-old newborn, driving to a studio where you will be for hours on end, just to realize…you forgot to bring enough (enter everything you forgot here). No more sitting […]
