When I noticed our out-of-state phone numbers were from the same home town, I knew meeting these new parents was going to be fun! Sure enough, Tessa and I grew up in the same small town in North Idaho, and we had so much in common! It was so fun to reminisce about our old […]
This mama helped me deliver my baby girl in November. I don’t know if it is just me, but I feel a strong connection to all of my OB nurses that have helped me deliver my three children into this world. These incredible nurses have such important roles in delivering the most precious gift you’ve […]
My Dear Isla, Where do I begin? God chose you to enter our life in such a remarkable way and I am so incredibly thankful that he did. You beat all the odds. Although we weren’t planning on adding to our family, you entered our hearts and lives anyway. I remember the day we found […]
Where do I even begin? This sweet boy entered the world during a pandemic, and was shortly diagnosed with a reality no parent can bear. But you know what? He. Is. Perfect. I mean, I cried as I drove away perfect. In every since of the word, he has captivated strangers, stole the hearts of […]
I shifted my 4-Runner into 4-wheel drive as I turned onto Ali and Brent’s road. The snow was softly falling as my windshield wipers tried to keep up. Snow-covered pine trees and quiet homes with porch lights on lined the country road as I made my way to meet 4-day-old Sawyer. As I drove up […]
Those first few weeks of having a newborn are so incredibly moving, transformational and let’s be real, exhausting.

Lifestyle family sessions are not your typical family session. They are a much more laid back, go-with-the-flow type of shoot. I LOVE these because the amount of pressure exponentially decreases for both mom and dad–and if I’m being honest–with me too! And the photos reflect that relaxed vibe. This mama and daddy knew that they […]
I’ll be honest, I anxiously wait for newborn inquiries. I love getting my secret baby fix with capturing baby toes. Yes, you read that right…toes are my weakness. Those little toes make my heart flutter. This newborn lifestyle was just that–full of those moments that made me giggle and just soak up the moment. I […]
I have to admit, when I got Talor’s message about doing her newborn lifestyle photos, I did a double-take. Ok, let me be real here…I Facebook stalked her. Why, you say? Because I didn’t even know she was pregnant!!! It was like, “Wah-la! I had a baby! Wanna come take some awesome photos for me?!” […]
When you get a shoot like this, you wake up the next morning almost in awe that it even happened. It was a beautiful spring day when I drove up to the Graybill’s home. Although windy, the sun was pouring down its warmth as I walked up the steps of their turn of the century […]
