Phoenix Documentary Family Photography – Let’s sing happy birthday!

a day in the life

Phoenix Documentary Family Photography – Happy Birthday to you (Megan). In my house, James, Chloe, and I, all celebrate our birthdays in a two-week span.  There is a lot of singing Happy Birthday, birthday cupcakes, and usually swimming.  I know swimming is a bit odd, but since all of our birthdays are during summer we […]

I am not crying you’re crying… well yes I’m actually crying

a day in the life

Detroit Family Photographer. So a client made me cry today, on the very last day of the year and decade. 10 years ago I was in severe pain from my gallbladder surgery, popping pain pills like candy because I didn’t know I was pregnant with Chloe.  When I told James I was pregnant I was […]

Denver Family Photographer – A Day in Virginia

at-home session

Washington DC + Baltimore Lifestyle Family Photography.  So first you are not in the wrong spot, I am based right outside Boulder, Colorado but I LOVE to travel.  I was lucky enough to document this amazing family this fall on my travel trip for Day in the Life sessions.  Second, when I can’t think of […]
