For mom, the lady who’s heart and soul this is likely all for, this may look like sharing a story of vulnerability with me after a few encounters with her family, knowing that I’ll understand her heart and use that information to document her family with that much more authenticity.

Read MoreAlthough Blair has converted to a West Coast girl for quite a few years now, New Orleans and the magic it encompasses runs richly through her veins. In true New Orleans fashion, the spirit woven through the weekend was nothing short of a non-stop party in The Big Easy.
Read MoreAs I looked around the room, I just soaked in the bodies present and the ways each individual was participating differently. It was a group of individuals that functioned like a well-oiled machine, yet had never even been in a room together before that morning. Harmoniously working together for one cause, to show that mama how beautiful and strong that body of hers is.

Read MoreDocumenting 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!
Read More“We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. We take photos to recall - with greater vibrancy - those experiences that have shaped and made us. We take photos to bridge distance and shorten time, to lend legacy to the little things and life to the forgotten.

Read MoreI arrived at Heather and Matt’s home to find her greeting me on all fours in the floor of the foyer, mid-contraction. In that instant, I knew I was about to witness something like I’d never seen before.
For the next eight hours, my attention became completely engrossed in documenting, in the most authentic way I could, the unfolding of that day.
Here’s a photojournalistic story of Monroe’s journey into the world…
Read MoreOne of my favorite things about seeing sweet Kate grow throughout this year has been to see the wonder in her parents' eyes as they soak in every little thing about her that adds beauty to their world. From the moment I walked into their home for Kate's newborn session over a year ago, I felt overwhelmingly grateful to document her first year into a beautifully curated time capsule.
Here's a peek into Kate at one-year-old...
Read MoreDemi'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.
I hope you enjoy a glimpse into some of the intense, quiet, and love-filled moments captured during Demi's first few days in this world...
Read MoreAfter the births of both of her boys, Brandie had me over to photograph generational sessions with the littles, their parents, and grandparents.

Here are those days...
Read MoreErin 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.
Here's a little bit of Parker's birth + newborn journey...
