OK, you guys were so helpful before, that I have a OK, you guys were so helpful before, that I have another one for you!

Which do you prefer?  One is my normal edit, and the other is a preset (with some of my own touches, of course).

While you think on that, I'm *finally* going to go shower and get ready for the day (it's 3:30pm, if that makes you feel better about how your day is going). It's been a strange, hard week around here, and I've been hyper focusing today to take my mind off things.  Time to get moving and feel human for a bit.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
I most definitely have to edit a bunch more previe I most definitely have to edit a bunch more previews from this session, because it was absolutely stunning and I kept yelling "You could be on the cover of a novel!!"

It's such a joy to see families grow, and to find happiness.  I get glimpses of my families with years between, and seeing kids grow up is as bittersweet as it gets.  We talked about how proud you are to watch your children grow up, and how hard it is to send them out into the world. 

This photo is a celebration - love found, milestones achieved, new places explored. 

It is looking toward the  past with fondness and perspective, because all roads have led here. 

It is looking toward the future with hope and trust. 

It is a moment in time, made significant with intention.  A way to look back, years later, and say "this was us."

Working on my Glow & Grace summer special has me g Working on my Glow & Grace summer special has me going back through old sessions - I loved this session at Blackrocks in Marquette!

There's so much beauty in the UP and summer is perfect for exploring it.  If you're expecting a baby and have been thinking about a maternity session, I made a free guide for you!

You can download it at the link in my bio!

What are your favorite places in the UP to explore?  My kids always love Days River trail for close to home, Fayette for a little further away, and of course our hearts live in Paradise on Whitefish Bay.

When I think about what sessions I most want to ph When I think about what sessions I most want to photograph, the top of the list is *always* more newborns!

Babies change so fast, and by the time they’re a month old parents are often saying “I can’t believe they were ever that small!” I love seeing new parents obsess over every detail of their babies, and preserving those details for them forever.

I know that trends are changing in the photography world and I have a lot of things I want to revamp - if you’re expecting but want something a little different than what you  see every day, please reach out and start a conversation! 

I work with all my clients to design sessions around what they want - and if you’re not sure what you want yet, we’ll figure it out together.  It’s what I’m here for!

Every baby I snuggle is an honor and I’d love to be able to keep offering sessions, and to change with the times.  Let me know how I can help you ❤️

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 ❤️
