I truly have the best job ever. 🥹✨
There’s nothing I love more than freezing these moments for families — as cliché as it might sound, it’s so true.
They’re only this small for such a short time… and before you know it, those tiny details become distant memories.

Here’s to holding onto them just a little longer. 🤍

All the cousins together — six smiles, a few giggles, and just a little chaos between the apple trees. 🍂
These are the kind of photos that only get sweeter with time — the ones families look back on years from now and say, “Remember when they were this little?”

I’ll be offering Apple Orchard Mini Sessions again next year (2026!) — they’ll be announced in July, so keep an eye out if you want to snag a spot early. These sessions always fill up fast! 🍎📸

Golden hour, right at home — where all the best memories are made. 🌅

There’s something extra special about photographing a family on their own property. It’s the place where their girls run barefoot every day, where the laughter already lives in the air.
We didn’t have to go far to find beauty — it was right here, in the fields they play in, the light that hits their porch just right, and the love that fills every corner.

Sessions like this feel like pure magic — the kind that doesn’t need much direction, just a little golden light and the people who make it home. ❤️

I’ve been photographing the Burdick family since Emma was just a newborn — nine years ago! ❤️
Year after year, we meet again for updated photos, and every time I’m amazed at how much she’s grown… and, honestly, how much my work has grown too.

It’s wild to think about how fast nine years can pass — how many milestones, seasons, and little in-between moments we’ve captured together. 🍂
Now I’m tempted to dig through the archives and find a photo of Emma from every year — to see her story unfold and to see how my own has evolved alongside hers.

These are the families that remind me why I fell in love with photography in the first place.

Just getting around to sharing some favorites from my apple orchard minis back in September — and I couldn’t skip over this sweet family. 🍂
The Hamel crew has been in front of my camera for a few years now, and watching them grow each season is truly one of the best parts of this job.
There’s just something about cozy fall light, giggles between apple trees, and families like this that make my heart so full. ❤️

I’m usually out here chasing the golden light — but every once in a while, the clouds decide to humble me a little. 🌥️
This session was one of those days. I drove an hour, watching the sky get darker and darker, fully convinced we were about to have a rain-soaked maternity session. (Not me trying to negotiate with the weather app on the way there 😂)
But honestly? The moody sky and golden grass were pure magic together.
No harsh light, no squinting — just calm, quiet beauty that let every moment breathe.
And to make it even better, their dogs got to join in on the fun — with cheese as their bribery of choice, of course. 🧀🐾 Because nothing says family session quite like a couple of very motivated pups stealing the show.
Sometimes the best sessions aren’t the ones bathed in sunlight, but the ones wrapped in a little bit of mystery (and the faint smell of cheddar). ✨

Back in the early years of my photography career, I used to photograph so many senior portrait sessions. Somewhere along the way, they became a little less common for me — but every time I get to do one, it reminds me how much I love them. ✨
There’s something about senior portraits that feels so full-circle — capturing a moment that’s equal parts excitement and nostalgia. It’s such a special season, and every session has its own heartbeat.
For this one, we spent the evening on her family’s dairy farm (and yes, there were cows involved 🐄💛). It brought me right back to my own childhood — I grew up showing my dairy goats at the county fairs, so farm life has always held a special place in my heart. There’s just something about the smell of hay, the golden light, and the simple kind of peace that feels like home.

This sweet girl came in to celebrate her very first birthday — and I swear, these cake smash sessions have stolen my heart lately. 🩷
Most of my warmer months are usually filled with newborn and family sessions, but this year I’ve been so pleasantly surprised by how many cake smashes I’ve had… and I’m not mad about it one bit.
There’s something so special about these sessions — not just the cake, but the simple, timeless portraits we capture before the frosting makes its grand entrance. ✨
These are the moments that feel like the perfect mix of classic and joyful — and they make such a beautiful way to celebrate a milestone. 🎂
