I am always so impressed with my gender surprise families (umm, hello patience on a whole new level!), and I was SO excited when this sweet mama shared the news that they had a baby GIRL! She was the tiniest little thing at 5lbs 13oz, and surprised everyone by arriving two weeks early! I loved […]

I was so excited to get this note from this mama that she was expecting baby number four, and wanted me to come to the hospital for a Fresh 48 in Greenville, South Carolina. I met this gorgeous family in 2016 shortly after they welcomed baby #3. At the time, I was VERY pregnant myself […]

This sweet girl is the youngest of three, and she looks SO much like her big brother and sister I can hardly believe it. The family resemblance can’t be denied for sweet Sloane. Her mama and daddy didn’t know her gender before she was born, and were convinced they were having another boy. They couldn’t […]

Logan was the last babe I photographed in the hospital before welcoming my own daughter, and let me just say that after my own hospital experience, I have a new perspective on these precious sessions! Bless you mama’s who let me into such a life changing moment. The days in the hospital are blurry, at times overwhelming, and incredibly exhausting, but the sweetness and that falling in love feeling you have for your new baby are far greater than anything else.

What a humbling experience it has been to become a mother. Being a photographer that documents so much of motherhood and family life has been such an honor and gift to me since my humble beginning in the Fall of 2014, and becoming a mother myself has given me such a new perspective for this little business of mine.

Every single time I have the opportunity to meet a brand new baby and am invited to the lives of new or growing families at such a special and intimate time, I am so overwhelmed with emotion – the joy, love and excitement are so palpable, and I cannot believe I get to call this “work.”

It is the most amazing feeling to be invited into this intimate time with families and their newborn babies. I had never met the Olson’s in person, but have been communicating with Pamela for the past several months in anticipation of the arrival of her sweet baby boy, Sean. From the moment I walked into […]

It is hard to put into words the sweetness and tenderness of these in-hospital newborn sessions. The love and joy in the room is palpable, and I am so honored to be invited into these first few precious moments after a little one’s arrival. Sweet Hanna Rose made her entrance into the world in early […]
