This cutie-pie family was our first session since the pandemic started, and they totally made my job easy! Full of smiles and laughs as usual - I knew I could count on them :-) So great to see you all and spend a beautiful morning out in nature!

Woo-hoo, we're BACK! These last few months have been insane. I started a new day job right in the middle of the pandemic. Mark started working nights at his day job, so he could homeschool the kids during the day. And of course...homeschooling was a sh!t show (you know I'm not one to mince words. Now can we please pay teachers allllll the money? Pretty please?)

In addition, photography wasn't deemed an essential service during Stay Home Stay Safe, so doing stuff like porch-traits could mean risking our business license and facing a fine. No thanks!

We were overwhelmed to say the least, but we're better now (#summervacation) and ready to shoot your precious faces all summer long!

We also did a little thing and adopted a dog from the sweet people at I Heart Dogs animal rescue. Winter is a six year-old cattledog/husky mix, and she couldn't be sweeter. We are so in love! Here are a couple images from the day we brought her home, and also a mini "thank god it's the last day of school" photo shoot from a couple days ago :-).

If you're looking to book a summer session, hit us up on our Contact Page. Our availability is wide open since all our plans have been cancelled ;-). We can't wait to see you!

Things I feel you should know about this photo shoot:

1) Chelsea is my little baby cousin so that means I've known her for her entire life.

2) Chelsea and her fiancee Matt watch a lot of America's Next Top Model and I think it shows.

3) Chelsea and Matt are hilarious and I think that also shows - I laughed so hard at one point I literally had to stop walking and was snorting and tears were rolling down my face. 

4) Chelsea and Matt's wedding is the next time I plan to dance on a table, but no promises I won't do it before then

This cute little crew came in from out of town to celebrate the holidays with their extended family, and we were lucky enough to get a (beautiful) afternoon to help commemorate it! We thank them so much for their patience with this sneak peek, as well :-).

Hope your holidays were wonderful and we wish all eight of you a happy and healthy new year.

This family is always the MOST spontaneous and joyful, and this session was no exception. I loved the little pop of red in mom's shirt, which perfectly complemented the greenery in our surroundings; I love ANYTHING involving tossing kids around; and I love the awe kids exhibit when experiencing nature. So good. Thanks for hanging out with me as always, M fam :-).
