Want to know the real reason I'm closing shop for a bit?

Because my heart can't handle photographing senior boys with better hair than me!!!! 😩 Okay okay that's not true... But come on, look at this handsome kid! Owen could seriously be an actor or something! Hair and all!

I'm wrapping up my last few photoshoots that were scheduled in advance, so I figured I share them all! ☺️❤️

🌮ANNOUNCEMENT!🌮

As of August 1st, 2021, I will be taking a break from photography to spend more time with my family and homeschool my children!

If we are currently having a conversation about an upcoming photoshoot, you are still booked, even if we haven't set a date yet! ❤️

If you REALLY would like me to capture your photos this fall or winter, feel free to message me! Otherwise, moving forward I will not be taking on any more clients until further notice! I will gladly recommend close friends and family who produce quality photography and capture AMAZING photos!

Thank you so much for supporting me and booking me for so many years! I intend to be back at some point, but for now other priorities must come first!

Love you all!

Would you believe not only were we losing light rapidly, but we were also fighting with a stranger-danger 2 year old!? Now this family is a regular client of mine, I know these little boys well enough that nothing phases me with these sweet kiddos! I absolutely love them! They know me and I know them! ❤️ But I enjoy messages from new clients sometimes when they warn me of their crazy children.. First off, I deal with my own psycho children daily, I doubt anything your child throws at me will surprise me (literally and figuratively 😂) Second off, as a photographer, it is literally my job to capture personality (as I stated in the last post) even from kiddos or animals that hate the camera! I have seen it ALL, every challenge from crying babies, screaming toddlers, crazy hyper dogs, autism spectrum, grumpy or awkward teens 🤓, YOU NAME IT!!! Do not be worried about your situation.. a GOOD photographer will know what to do and how to manage. Being a GOOD photographer means rolling with the punches, being flexible, getting creative, staying calm collected and having fun despite the challenges a photoshoot throws at you. Not every shoot goes 100% perfect and seamless by any means, but it's pretty great feeling when a client walks away from their shoot worried I wasn't able to capture much with their crazy family or life situation in that moment, only to surprise them by managing to capture smiles, joy, laughter and personality that went unnoticed in all the chaos!

TRUST your photographer! ☺️ We've got this!

Indoor photos with a family of 5 kids between the ages of baby and college kid! And a dog!! 😂 Challenge accepted 😏 Was only a little bit crazy!!! Taking photos for this family though is always a blast! Another highlight of photography for me is capturing everyone's personalty through the screen! I ALSO on occasion enjoy sending a few silly out takes 😂 I'm well aware the outtakes may not end up on my client's wall, but they're too funny and adorable not to share! Enjoy! ☺️

Another fall mini with one of my regular families! I've said it before and i'll never stop saying it, I LOVE watching these kids grow! It might very well be my favorite part of portrait photography! Watching little ones that i've taken photos for since they were babies grow up into kids 😭 ❤️ Where in the world does time go?!
