​

Helping her has been my side gig the past couple weeks (along with the addition we’re building for my mom)

I don't make "perfect" photos.

Of course, I create classic, traditional portraits of my families and their kiddos. But it’s almost always those imperfect “in between” photos that end up being my favorites.

Yes! We can shoot family photos in your backyard! I mean, what better way to remember life with those littles than at the home you‘ve created? And no, you don’t have to have professional landscaping 😆 If you have a few trees and some grass, I can take care of the rest!⁠
⁠
Don’t let the idea of trying to wrangle kids into the car/fighting traffic/keeping outfits clean make you put off capturing your little loves at this age. Remember, the “little” doesn’t last. ❤️⁠

Spring has officially sprung! Or is it technically summer already?!
I’m so happy to be back in the Midwest, but I really do miss the huge fields of coreopsis that would bloom in Texas hill country! if anyone knows of any coreopsis fields, would ya holler at me?
