Endearing in every way, this family has a sense of welcome around them. They immediately feel like old friends and the joy they share with their children is beyond measure.

They are your whole heart.
You know every freckle.
Every crooked baby tooth.
And right before your eyes they grow.
My most sincere answer to why I love pictures so much is this.
These moments, one day, will be gone. It breaks my heart.
And every time I photograph a family and I feel they are genuinely being themselves in front of my lens, I feel alive.
Like just for one second, I’ve stopped time.
And this mother, who I know has the same raw heart as mine, will have these moments forever.

I knew the minute we met that I would love this couple. They were so crazy about each other and their new baby girl. The way they look at each other is pretty magical.
What a dream baby to photograph too! She slept the whole morning. I love her chub! She was a big baby and her features so feminine.  I know they want to remember every last detail of her, she’ll only be this little for a little while.

It was such an honor to document the very beginning of her story.

I’m, so grateful for this family.  This is what I dreamed of when I started my little photography adventure.  I would hold my newborn son and imagine documenting every tiny detail of this new, big love for other mamas.

Carrie and I met when she was pregnant with Evelyn. She and Leslie were so bonded and in love.  I know Carrie must have had the same worries on her heart that I did as a mother.  How will I keep this intense and marvelous relationship with my daughter when a new baby arrives?  Carrie was incredibly beautiful when I came to the hospital to meet Evie.  And the worry had disapated as it always does. The heart makes room and love wins again.  I got to see Evie at all the big milestone moments.  Watching as Carrie refined her craft as a mother of two with grace and ease.  And before we knew it, it has been a year.

Happy Birthday, Evie!

My hearts a puddle on the floor. This family melts me.
