For the Mothers
May 11, 2012
I’ve met many beautiful moms over the past year, and became a mom to a third precious girl myself.
Motherhood is a hard job but a wonderful privilege. It can be exhausting and invigorating; some days full of laughter while others are full of tears; it can come as a long-awaited answer to prayer or as an unexpected blessing. Whatever part of the mothering journey you’re on now, I want to encourage all of us moms with this reminder from Jim Elliot: Wherever you are, be all there. Let’s make the most of every moment!
Here’s to wiping little faces, gifts of sticky kisses, learning to let go a little, and celebrating the little everyday moments that make it all so worth it. Happy Mothers Day to all the moms I’ve had the honor of photographing since May 2011, and to all who stop by to visit this little blog of mine.
Hello World
April 13, 2012
There’s nothing quite as sweet as meeting a baby for the first time… especially when the baby belongs to a family that has been dear to your own for many, many years. Welcome to the world, little guy, we look forward to watching you grow!

We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, warm March day for this session. This sweet couple is expecting a boy and I look forward to hearing of his safe arrival! What a joy to celebrate this time in the life of a family. The maternity casting call sessions this winter have been so much fun, and I want to send more thanks to all of my models for their willingness to participate and celebrate this exciting time in their lives.
I’m looking forward to sharing a newborn session featuring the brand new baby girl welcomed by one of my February maternity models, so check back soon!
