welcome

i can’t believe we are almost done with this boy’s one year plan!  the next time you see him on the blog he will be ONE WHOLE YEAR old!!!! i can’t believe it and i certainly know that his mama can’t believe it.  mr calum’s hair is coming in with the most perfect reddish tint!!! […]

it’s not every day that i have the pleasure of photographing my childhood best friend, her family, and their newest addition.  mr patrick joined the family back in may (i know i know i’m a little behind on blogging!!) and shocked everyone with his super dark hair!!  his big sister seems to be pretty smitten […]

prepare yourself for the perfection of this session.  i was actually lucky enough to have TWO sessions with this gorgeous family because our first one was rained out about 20 minutes in.  The day had been beautiful – and we were having lots of fun – mr. dylan (who usually is not a fan of […]

A few weeks ago we talked about getting ready for your newborn session and today we’ll go into some detail about preparing for your family session.  My goal is to make any portrait session completely stress free for my clients! I want you to relax and maybe even HAVE FUN (ok dads??!?) while we hang […]

on one of the most perfectly beautiful nights (in a very WET spring) i took this gorgeous family out to my favorite spot – an LKP exclusive location – Wildhaven Farm.  The tall grass in the front field still lingering allowed for backlit, sun-filled backgrounds.  these two kids were a dream to work with – […]

i had the absolute honor to do some portraits of this family.  not only is this mama one of my very best friends, but she is an awesome wife, and a super fun mom to her two crazy kiddos.  we get to spend lots of time with these guys – and its been amazing watching […]

these sweet girls were welcomed into the world a bit early – they surprised their parents and said they were ready to come out!! After a bit of a stay in the NICU they returned home one at a time and now have their complete family there.  you all know newborns just make me melt, […]

I love Mother’s Day – I love it for so many reasons – because its in May so usually the weather is getting nicer (except this weekend of course it appears to be rainy and gross), because I totally get pampered by my husband and my kids and its an excuse to have a family […]

one of the absolute best parts of this job is watching kids grow up.  to be a silent observer of how a couple becomes a family, and then how that family unit progresses.  we did tighe’s newborn photos at his parents one bedroom flat in troy – this really awesome unique apartment full of natural […]

I’ve watched these two love birds from the beginning of their relationship.  Dan is commonly referred to as “best friend Dan” in our house, because my son pretty much thinks he’s the coolest person alive.  Between being young and hip, and playing like the most awesome kid with the little ones, we think he is pretty […]
