Where did 2022 go? Seriously, I can’t believe I’m sitting here looking through all of my 2022 families to blog….in 2023! How is it 2023? Am I the only one who feels like we blinked and 2022 was over? I know we all probably say this every year…but for real…this year FLEW BY!

Say hello to my 2021 clients! So grateful to each and every one of you. The family connections below is why I love & keep doing what I do. If you see yourself below make sure to give yourself a shout out in the comments!!

What better way to celebrate turning one than closing on a new home the day of your cake smash!

What better way is there to freeze this sweet family’s story but through images? Those early days and weeks of a new baby coming home are such a blur aren’t they? We want to remember every little detail and we think we will.

When we first moved to this neighborhood there weren’t too many kids. Once we had Jade we noticed there were a few others, but really not that many.

Meet sweet baby Maddox & the rest of her adorable family. Seriously…they are pretty cute right?!?! They welcomed me into their home to document baby Maddox’ early days at home.

Meet the very fun and very sweet Dinneen Family. They celebrated this special Grandma’s birthday by gifting her a family session surrounded by all of her grandkids, kids and lots and lots of love. What more could a Grandma ask for on her special day :)

What a sweet Mother’s Day gift this thoughtful daughter gave to her Mom….the gift of memories. She probably doesn’t need a new sweater or gift certificate to another restaurant or even a spa day. Yes those are all very nice gifts to give but

Two sweet girls with the most beautiful names…and I was able to capture both of their first days. I have the best job ever.

I am so grateful for the families that have trusted me to photograph them over and over, from first baby, on to the 2nd as well as first birthdays and so on.

So you are in love, but also tired….over the moon with joy, but also completely overwhelmed. You booked your in-home newborn photos months ago before this tiny, precious being made his or her way into your home. You had all of these plans of what you would wear in these photos…but then baby came and life got real crazy real fast and plans of that beautifully curated wardrobe went out the door. You are in a panic! You think “what will I put this tiny, fragile little being in”…let alone even think of yourself! “Help! What Do I Wear??”.

I know I say this every year….I am going to blog EVERY SINGLE SESSION! And then life comes rolling in and I don’t get around to blogging EVERY SINGLE SESSION. I always want to, I say I am going to, I get excited about blogging as the start of the new year comes around and then I just don’t finish! So this year instead of saying I am blogging every session, what I am going to say instead is “I will TRY my best to blog more”.

es 2020 sucked real bad (2021 you aren’t much better to be honest!), but there were definitely two positives as far as our family is concerned.

Now that 2020 is coming to an end (thank goodness!), I realized I better get moving on sharing the rest of the sessions I had this year. Like this adorable 1st birthday session!

If this session doesn’t scream Fall I don’t know what does. The beautiful warm leaves and the early morning light, together with their pretty color palette and you can almost feel the Fall leaves falling :)
