First Annual Fall Mini-Sessions!

I'm so excited to be doing my first fall mini-sessions! This fall is CRAZY busy for me with traveling for work and pre-booked sessions, so I will ONLY be doing family sessions during the mini-session time slots this fall. The mini-sessions are also open to children only if you don't want to do a full family session.

Here's how it works:

1. Email me with your preferred date and time (I will update openings on here)

2. A PayPal invoice will be sent for the deposit - since there are such limited openings, a $50 deposit is required to hold your spot. 

3. Once your deposit is received, I will book your slot - these are on a first come first served basis so please be ready to be flexible! 

4. I will choose a beautiful fall setting and email everyone the day before with directions to where the sessions will be held.

5. Please come 10 minutes early to your session all beautified up and ready to shoot!

Outfit Tips

Colors that pop! - Plum, Green, Gold, 

Accessorize! - Scarves, hats, chunky jewelry, knee high boots

Texturize! - wool hats, simple patterns, chunky sweaters all add texture - in MODERATION!

We are all judged...

tonight my blog post is not about a beautiful baby. or a happy smiling couple. 

but of me. 

my need to connect with mankind. 

to feel the beauty in the world. 

to see beyond the superficial, the material, the bullshit and find the human in all of us. 

when did we all become so concerned with things that don't matter? 

to have an opinion of others without actually getting to know them? 

to judge someone based upon how they look, how they dress, where they work, who they sleep with, the choices they make, the choices they DON'T make?! 

i'm so tired of it.

when my six year old daughter comes home and tells me of being bullied i want to just scream. 

i want to just shake these tiny human beings and ask them WHY? 

why are we so mean to each other?

why can't we see the beauty in others? 

the amazing light of the sun shining on a head of red hair

the scars of carrying a child

the beauty in expressing yourself in ink

the intimacy of having someone you love love you back, whether that's a man or a woman

the freedom of an unchecked belly laugh

dancing in your livingroom like no one is watching

the right to make a decision, then change your mind

these are all such beautiful things that make us human

why are we so mean to each other?

Hendrickson Family Love

So happy I got to do a quick family mini session for the Hendrickson Family! It was so quick and just all came together amazingly well and I got to cuddle with Mr. Gabe again! Though the tried to get slick....boys!

Bryce minus the guitar and mohawk!

Bryce looks so different without his mowhawk! I've been taking this little guy's photos since he was just days old. It always makes me so sad to see how fast they grow :(

What's THAT?!?! haha I swear I've seen this photo somewhere. Seems all little boys this age get fascinated with this discovery :)

Preston is 9 months!

I have very much enjoyed watching Preston grow. How is it possible that he has gotten this big this fast??

Gabe is 6 months!

Mr Gabe, you get cuter and cuter every time we meet! Someday you will break hearts with those blue eyes of yours!

Kaitlyn is 6 months!

Little miss Kaitlyn is so much fun to work with. And of course mom and dad are some of my favorite parents ever! Miss Kaitlyn's adoption became final just after Christmas and I coudn't be more happy for this perfect family!
