TJ

It’s been so cool watching this little guy grow up. I did his newborn session when he was only 10 days old. I didn’t plan for it, but I think it’s adorable that he came to my home studio and noticed a canvas of himself as a baby on my wall. And that’s how I was able to capture a photo of TJ as a 2-year-old holding a canvas of TJ as a 10-day-old. Precious.

“Far more important than possessing a face that is lovely is nurturing a heart that is loving.” Bella is wonderful to photograph and she draws me in with her kindness and joyful spirit.

I first met Katie when I did maternity and newborn photos for her first baby, and now I have the privilege of documenting life with her second baby who is coming into the world in just a few short weeks. Life is truly precious and I can’t think of anything more fun than being in the middle of it all. GRATEFUL for my work and my incredible clients!
