Anything for a smile (even if it doesn’t work) Anything for a smile (even if it doesn’t work)

Mom brought in one of dad’s trucks from when he was a kid - his name is written on the side. Moments like these are why I save *everything.”

I'm so sad I don't have any outdoor sessions sched I'm so sad I don't have any outdoor sessions scheduled in time for blossoms this year!

There's a lot of talk in the photography world about how things just feel *different* this year.  This is always a slower time of year for me, but things are just . . . different.  There's debate about whether it's the economy, or changing trends, but the reality is - bookings are down, and many studios are shutting their doors.

Anyway, I tried to exercise today, got super emotional and wrote a blog post instead! Over the last 2 years I've had more and more inquiries for extended families, and less for regular family sessions.

I get it, and I definitely value extended family sessions.  But they're a very different vibe from regular sessions, and I want to be sure that you know you are valuable on your own, too.

Comment "art" and I'll send you the link to the blog post! 

And, whatever you can do to support small businesses, please do! I'm sure photography businesses aren't the only ones feeling it, and any little bit we can do helps ❤️

What does a newborn session look like? -a custom- What does a newborn session look like?

-a custom-designed session, tailored to your style.  Colors and setups inspired by what you love, all provided by me.

-you, relaxing on the couch in my toasty warm studio while I take care of everything. I've been photographing newborns for 9 years and have been called "baby-whisperer" many times - your little one is in good hands, so sip on some water or coffee and relax - you've earned it!

-a soft-proof gallery with a selection of images to choose from.  Curl up at home and watch a slideshow set to music, then pick out your favorites! You can choose just the ones you love the most, or your whole gallery - it's up to you.

-digital files you can print on your own and have for safe-keeping, along with professionally printed product you can't get anywhere else, that will be loved years down the road.

Long after your baby has outgrown their little onesies, newborn portraits will remind you of the magic of their first days.  Reach out to schedule your session or with any questions, I can't wait to meet you and your little one!

Today I met up with Casey Young, Dietitian/Traine Today I met up with  Casey Young, Dietitian/Trainer today for some updated branding photos. She was so welcoming, and you can tell she is passionate about what she does and so supportive for her clients - it’s easy to see why she has such a huge following! 

Casey specializes in helping women over 40 lose fat and gain confidence - if you’re not already following her, you definitely should! I found myself listening to her podcast as I edited her previews, and there’s so much good information there.

Can’t wait to work on the rest of these soon, and to tell you more about Casey’s health coaching!  If you have a small business and are in need of a branding session, please reach out!

And - if you have any questions for Casey, drop them here - I’ll be putting together a blog post full of Q’s and A’s!
