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 ❤️

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 ❤️
