This past month has been a busy one –  fall photo sessions, getting into the school and homework routine, soccer games, piano practicing, and a 7th birthday! I think this time of year is the perfect blend of the some of the best parts of summer and fall. We are soaking up the last days […]

Fall is here! It’s October, one of my favorite months of the year. The weather is starting to get cooler, and I think fall is at its best – cozy sweaters, orange and red trees, and pumpkin spice. I find this time of year inspires me to get my camera out more often to capture […]

I met Eric and Carol about 11 years ago, just after my husband and I got married. We were part of a small group that met weekly, and they immediately became not just good friends but a couple we looked up to. Before kids came along, we had many late nights playing board games, trying […]

One of our favorite family adventures this summer was spending a few days in Chicago. It was the kids’ first time to explore Chicago, and they loved it! The little town we live in only has a population of about 4,000, so they were amazed by the tall skyscrapers, elevated subway, bustling streets, deep dish […]

School starts tomorrow for us, which means our summer break is quickly coming to an end. At the beginning of the summer, I shared our family’s Summer Bucket List and some tips on how to photograph your own summer. It ended up being a great summer, and we managed to check everything off our Bucket […]

Perfect for Couples, Families, Expecting Mamas, and Seniors! There is a limited number of slots, so if you or someone you know are looking […]

It is said that the best camera is the one that you have with you. With the technology of smart phones improving year after year and the cost becoming more affordable, many people carry smart phones with them wherever they go, sharing pictures instantly on social media with friends and family. I, too, usually have […]

I love getting to shoot sessions at locations that are special to families, and this session was no exception. This family farm with interesting barns, a tire swing, corn fields, and beautiful light was a perfect place to document all these cousins getting to spend some time together this summer even though they live far […]
