Brian and I are expecting baby girl Martin October 1st ❤️ and we're so excited! What a journey it's been to get here, and I'm so happy to report everything is going well and I'm feeling great. She's kicking up a storm. I'm so so so grateful. Four short months left!

Today we'll celebrate the life of Brian's incredible dad Dennis, who meant so much to everyone who met him. I've known this guy for almost 20 years, and he was always smiling, joking, kind, supportive... a really wonderful guy who's life was cut short way too soon. He had much more to do in this world, lots of plans and grandkids to teach cool things to, but we're going to do our best to carry on his spirit. I'll really miss my awesome father in law.

Is there anything more classic than shooting film on a black backdrop? Gotta love that 120mm sharpness ✨️🎞 I'm finding myself entertaining the idea of shooting film with clients again. Thoughts? Comment "🎞" if you'd book a film photoshoot ⬇️

is my new home for family documentary photography, maternity, weddings, and more! Photographers and creators are constantly lectured about the trend to "niche down" or pick a lane... but honestly, when you've been photographing as long as I have (15ish years?!) you have so many wonderful opportunities to capture a huge range of beautiful humans. It's impossible for me to say no! Portraits are my passion. I did however decide to start another Instagram to honor these different subjects and to let my main account of branding, fashion and bo***ir shine brighter. What are your thoughts? Are you one of my family photography clients? Do you think its ok to have multiple passions or do you prefer your photographers to be a specialist in one thing?
