I hear it all the time: “I don’t want my photos to look posed.” With a lifestyle photography session your images will be anything but posed.  Think candid’s that serve to “capture the moment” versus staging a scene, and stunning, true-to-life photography that tells your story just as it is, at that precise moment.  This slice-of-life […]

About once or twice a year I photograph a large extended family photo session.  I always have so much fun meeting everyone.  This Hugo family was no different.  A beautiful family with adorable kiddos.  The session took place at their home which is a beautiful farmhouse with a great big field in the backyard.  I love when I […]

I just adore photographing this family.  We met up at Otsego Regional Park for their family portraits.  This little cutie was one of my first NICU clients I photographed.  I met her as a 1lb micro preemie!  Now look at her!  She’s an absolute joy to be around and I can’t wait for this pandemic […]

It was a cold and raining afternoon on this day in September.  Weather is always my nemesis when it comes to fall photo sessions.  Sometimes we get lucky and have one of those beautiful days that we all love about fall but then it seems more often than not we have cold, wet, or windy […]
