Millie is such a gorgeous baby!!!
Mama said she really just wanted to capture her curious expression and beautiful blue eyes.
I think we accomplished that!!

I first met Melody when her daughter was a toddler. She dressed her in a gorgeous dress and we photographed her with balloons. It was darling. Every year since I have looked forward to being with this family. But the most memorable is the session we did at her home with her mother and sister, as her mother was battling Cancer. These emotional photographs are some I know Melody treasures as the loss of her mom changed her life so dramatically. She and her kids and husband now travel and home school, making the most of every moment with their family. In town to see her sister, we made what was meant to be a children’s session a family affair with her gorgeous sister in tow. I adore these people and if you spent just one minute with them you would too. They value these memories and each other like no one else I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing your story with me.

I’m so grateful.

Everyone needs a Kimberly in their life. I honestly don’t know what I’d do without her. This industry is extraordinary and there are so many kind photographers, but I do spend most of my day alone with my computer. Since I found Kimberly I have never felt isolated. She’s always there with encouraging words, a funny comment or expert advice just when I need it. I respect & admire her so much, so when she asked me to take a few quick images of her kids I was both flattered and terrified. Those fears were easily calmed by her hilarious children. Blaize & Kahne are so. much. fun. to be with!!! We laughed and had the best time. Thank you so much friend. You really mean the world to me!

Baabaa the Lamb has been such a sweet attachment for Blaize.  I love these sentimental details.  These snuggle sessions fill me up.

When she filled out the family session questionnaire I knew she & I would be fast friends. She just wanted close ups of her baby’s chunky hands & thighs. And an illustration of their lives right now. She is SO DANG HAPPY & GRATEFUL for her life, her husband, her children. She didn’t want a pretty picture to post on facebook of what they “should” look like. She’s deeper than that. She’s sentimental and creative and she knows more than anything else that this childhood is fleeting.
Yes. I feel like we understood each other. And our time by the water was sacred and wild. Just like childhood is.

Kristen and I read all the same books. The kind of books you grow from. Brene Brown and Elizabeth Gilbert. She’s a seeker. Always looking for meaningful ways to be inspired and inspire others. She is both brave and vulnerable. Strong and soft. Tender with deep roots. Watching her with her husband and sons is divine. They are so deeply connected. A collective of individuals. It’s extraordinary.
