On the Farm

My son Korben had an amazing teacher for pre-school this year. We enjoyed her so much! I was thrilled when she asked me to take her family's photos at the end of the school year. I ventured out onto their farm, originally owned by her grandparents and caught a glimpse of the joys of carefree children climbing, jumping, hiking, exploring, etc. I hope these images capture their lighthearted spirits!

Celebration!

Teague is 1! Wasn't I just taking his newborn photos?





And now he's all grown up! We were even able to catch some of his first steps. It was also a bittersweet day as we did photos with Martin, the family's foreign exchange student who will be leaving soon. Martin has been with Teague most of his first year- I am sure he will be greatly missed.

Portraits of Motherhood

"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new."

You are all beautiful women full of strength, compassion,grace and joy. Your love for your children is tangible. You all inspire me daily. Thank you for allowing me to photograph you during these precious moments.

The Dunham and Fattig Families

Friends since high school, these two Moms wanted to join forces for their photos. It was a fun shoot on a windy day- the kids were great fun, though when they were done, they all let us know (you'll see the funny picture!). I loved seeing how everyone interacted with one another- just as a great big, happy family!

Spring Mini Sessions: The Stepp Family

Nancy and I are in the same MOPs group, but we've never had much of a chance to visit. I feel so blessed to have been able to snag a short time with her and her family. Nancy has a great story to tell, I feel like I took away much more from our time than I am giving back in photos.

Spring Mini Sessions: The Ockander and Kadavy Girls

Sara, her sister Katie, and their four giggly girls... what a fun morning! It was chilly, but these girls were so much fun to work with. They were willing to try any idea I had and threw in several of their own. These pictures are evidence of the boundless energy and great love these sisters and cousins have for one another.

Spring Mini Sessions: The Wegner Family

This was an incredible family to meet and work with. Each child has their own unique personality, but together the family runs smoothly! I loved picking out each kiddo and spending a brief time with them- and together they shine!

The Mohring Family

It's always a joy to work with new families- sneaking a tiny peak into their lives, capturing sweet moments between brothers! These boys were too sweet and oh so handsome!

Annabella

There is something so beautiful and peaceful about a newborn home with her family. The newness of it all is one of my favorite moments to photograph. Thanks for allowing me to witness the sweetness of your new family of four.

Annabella

Congrats on such a sweet baby girl! She is perfect- I am so thankful for being able to snuggle her for a bit tonight.

The Kirchner Family

These little ladies are such fun, wonderful blessings! We had so much fun (and stayed nice and toasty) in the capital! Thank you for allowing me into your lives once again- I love repeat clients and being a part of documenting the growth of families!
