I would have taken this outside, but it’s hard t I would have taken this outside, but it’s hard to drink coffee through a mosquito net!

That is actually Lake Superior out there, but it’s this morning it’s hard to separate from the sky, all just one expanse. 

The weather is supposed to be beautiful today  and I’m grateful to be at my happy place, even if it’s just to do the same things I would do at home. It feels different here ❤️

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!
