Photographing this newborn brought me back to when my girls were just born. Everything was so fresh, raw, and overwhelming at times. I remember having to rethink EVERYTHING. No doubt most new parents feel the same. These two are doing great navigating this whole new world.

In addition to family photography, I also photograph weddings.

In fact, I photograph my family sessions in pretty much the same way I photograph weddings.

AND after months of keeping this special news concerning my wedding photography a secret, I can finally announce:

I was nominated by Range Finder magazine as one of the “Thirty Top Rising Stars of Wedding Photography"

This highly coveted nomination is by appointment only as “The editor of Rangefinder magazine collects nominations from leading tastemakers in the industry to browse through the most inspired and original wedding photography around the world.”

I almost could not believe it when I received the email asking me to participate.

The contest has always been an inspiration to me but not one I ever imagined being a part of. Although, I did not make the final cut I was very thrilled just knowing that industry leaders have considered me possessing “promising talent, artistic prowess, unique voice and creative direction in wedding photography”!

Thank you to all the couples who continue to put their faith in me and congratulations to all of the honorees. You can view them here: www.RangeFinderOnline.com

I love photographing children. They are actually my most favorite subject. Just let them be themselves.

As of now, I do not offer mini sessions. I feel like a snob saying that. However, mini sessions don't work for me because I can't limit the amount of time I spend with a family. It takes time for us all to warm up, time to chase those kids who are hiding from the camera around, time to get a collection of connected photos - time to get a deeper story of your family. I can't do that and watch my clock at the same time.

I do have families with younger children who hire me three times a year to capture and mark the changes in their young children. With these families, I do offer steep discounts on both my family and children's sessions. Feel free to inquire about these discounts. Otherwise, I only offer discounts twice a year - Mother's Day and Christmas. You can also visit my website and sign up in the green box at the bottom of the first page of my website to be informed of any upcoming specials.

I have had people mention to me that it is beneath me to do school photography.

I believe that it because school photos are often cheesy and do not speak to the personality of your child.

I ADORE school photography.

Parents love my photos and schools find it easy to work with me.

AND my pricing is competitive.

I am in a position to add one more school to my roster this year. Get your school on board!

Please reach out here or through my school photography website for more information.

My three girls are nearly grown, but I recently came across an old photo of all of us together. It appeared that I was "wearing" my three girls - each hanging on or in my arms. I miss that and this photo reminds me of that feeling.
