For a long while now I’ve been wanting to try out film again. The last time I played with film photography was back in high school (*cough, ahem, like 15 years ago) and back then it was all black and white. I learned how to use a camera using film, and not only that we […]

To say that the last couple of months have kept me busy would be an understatement! With Christmas and New Years, sickness shared all around the family, and welcoming our son Connor I don’t think I’ve had one day I haven’t just fallen into bed exhausted at the end of the day. Our littlest man […]

I love that being a family photographer means I get to hang out not only with some amazing other moms, but I get to meet their sweet families, too. And families really become an extension of ourselves, especially as I think of moms and dads pouring into their little’s lives as they grow. There is […]

Walking into an extended session as a family photographer is like walking into a family reunion. It feels like such an honor to be part of an event that brings all of a family together, and to get to capture the joy and excitement that comes from loved ones just spending time together. For the […]

This shoot was in celebration of my sweet friend Ashley’s little boy turning one! I just love looking back over little August’s pictures from the last year from his newborn shoot to his six month shoot to his one year pictures! Watching their sweet little faces grow and change is just so fun! And Ashley […]

The Crowe family is our church pastor’s family! I was so excited when Matt asked me to take portraits as a Mother’s Day gift to his bride. I loved that he knew how much they would mean to her, and I was so eager to capture their darling family! In the last year they’ve gone […]

I haven’t gotten to see my friend Desiree since high school, so it was an extra pleasure to also meet her darling family! These guys have moved around like us, but made their way back to Castle Rock in recent years like ourselves. What a joy it was to reconnect and spend an evening with […]

My bitty is 18 months old now! I know its cliche and you hear it all the time, but boy the last 18 months have gone by quickly! In fact, its almost a blur with our third little munchkin and I’m very much behind on writing in her little baby book. Here are some highlights […]

When I met Ashley at her Castle Rock home for little August’s 6 month pictures she was dressed for painting and had obviously been working hard at it! The walls were covered with pretty grey samples of paint, and she had even been painting all the ceilings, as well! My first thought as I saw […]

Driving out into the countryside, into the peace and quiet that the world affords when you leave town, I pulled into the Matott’s driveway full of bright sun. Some trees still stood tall with frost half covering them from the morning’s freezing rain, but with the sun out the trees and earth alike were warming […]
