I had so much fun with my spring minis at Coxhall Gardens that I decided to open a summer session at Cool Creek Park. It’s one morning only, and I think these are going to go fast! As with my past mini sessions, I will be donating all of the session fees–this time they […]

  Ok, here’s the deal with this post. It is NOT a tutorial on how to make a perfect wall gallery. (There are already dozens of posts on that topic.) This is my very honest accounting of all the mistakes I made in my own wall gallery.  I’m sharing it for two reasons: 1.) I […]

I look forward to seeing you on November 5!********* Hi friends, I have a big announcement! For the first time ever, I’m offering mini sessions this fall. While […]

This oh-so-sweet baby girl had a very warm welcome into our world by her mom, dad, and big sister. And I got to capture them all! I love little ones, and Baby Celia was an absolute doll. At seven days old, she was already so alert and interested in her surroundings. I love the photos of her quietly […]
