Two years ago when I visited the Los Angeles area with one of my dearest pals, Stacey, we stayed with her sister, Erin, Erin’s hubby, Jeff, and their (then) newborn, Maya. It didn’t take me long to fall in love with California—or, in turn, with the sweet Shafer clan. I took photos for them...

California Session: Inna’s Family
Inna would be the first to admit it was hectic making this session happen—but then again, when you have four beautiful kiddos ages 7 and under, how can it NOT be that way? Getting them all dressed in cute clothes (and then thinking about yourself AND what your hubby will wear? I seriously cannot even...
Emily: Portraits
I don’t remember when I first heard from Emily. But when that email landed in my inbox, it was filled with sweet comments and a “I’d really love to meet you sometime!” Emily is an Indy-area photographer herself (who also just landed a job teaching kindergarten—right, Emily?!) She’s so sweet and will be helping...
California Session Sneak Peek: Inna’s Family
A few months before I left for a trip to visit a handful of dear, dear girlfriends in California, I had an inquiry on my Facebook business page from a sweet gal living in Los Angeles by the name of Inna. She happened to be the mother of four kiddos and noted in a comment,...
The Swanson Family
Mandy was a bridesmaid last fall in the wedding of one of my sweetest brides to date, Ashley. She was pregnant at Ashley’s wedding, and shortly after she gave birth, contacted me about wanting to do a family session. In the weeks leading up to our evening together, the excitement in her emails kept building...

The Smith Family
I don’t know how I got so lucky the first time April Smith asked me to photograph her family. It was one of my favorite sessions of 2010, so, when April asked that I photograph them again this year—this time, as a family of four—I was giddy to get to hang out with someone I’ve...
The Smith Family: Sneak Peek
They’re baacccckkkkkkkk! If you’ve followed me for a while, you know I adore the Smith family—definitely some of my favorite people to photograph. I first shot April and her family last summer, when she was pregnant with the new little man in her life, Finn (who’s now 9 months). As we got together on Saturday...
The Kingdon Family
Back with a full post of photo goodness featuring the Kingdon family! I said it before and I’ll say it again, but it was a real treat getting to work with this threesome for an afternoon. One of the life facts about Heather and Ben that I latched on to was discovering that, like me...
Kingdon Family: Sneak Peek
I couldn’t have asked for a better portrait session to kick off my 2011 shooting season than my April afternoon with the sweet-as-can be Kingdon trio. Heather and her hubby, Ben, are just over the moon in love with their little man, Liam. (I am such a sucker for ginger-haired cuties ) Obviously,...
