Documenting pre-baby lifestyle sessions for both expecting couples and expanding families is something I’ve done quite a bit more of lately, and I truly love the meaning and authenticity behind the moments we capture in these shoots. There’s just something about having visual snapshots of those days before lives and hearts forever shift, mold, and expand in new ways. I hope you enjoy a little peek into Heidi and Austen’s life and growing family!

Demi's birth day was full of beautiful human connection, support, and love. As Duston held Deirdre's hand through every painful contraction and kissed her forehead every-so-often for supporting reassurance, I found myself watching from the other side of the room with the most content grin painted on my face.

After the births of both of her boys, Brandie had me over to photograph generational sessions with the littles, their parents, and grandparents. This year, we did a photojournalistic generational session at Parker's parents' house, where we gardened, laughed, had the best morning kicking off the beginning days of Summer and soaking in the best homegrown memories with family.

Erin is one of the most humble and graceful women I've had the pleasure of becoming friends with. Childbirth is golden and breathtaking and the most natural of human experiences, and I cannot believe that I'm invited to document all that encompasses it.
