Oh this family… I don’t have words to capture all the love and beauty that makes them who they are.  So I’ll let the pictures show you…   Sweet Burick family…you have all the love in my heart.  And then some.  I could not be more grateful to get to document the beauty and love […]

For 2 years now, these precious people have shared their love, their laughter, their stories and their joy with me. Every time I’ve left blown away by their kindness and their beauty. The fact that they allow me to document these fleeting seasons that are filled with little toes and growing girls and twirling dresses?  […]

A person worth a 10+ hour car ride with a 7 and a 4.5 year old? They are loving. Gracious. Hilarious. A gift to all who know them. That summarizes this sweet family.  And though it was a crazy ride – they are worth every mile. Lauren and Joe, I love you guys. And I […]

A little over a year ago, our family of five moved across the country…to a house we’d never seen.  (like you do.) As we left Chicago, I wondered if we could ever find friends as wonderful as we had there. About two months later, I met Jessica.  And their entire incredible family. Though I love […]

Oh precious lady… You truly are my firework. Go ahead…let those colors burn. I love you to pieces and I’m beyond grateful for you.  And EVERY last one of these facial expressions.   This entire shoot?  Maybe 20 minutes.  All of these facial expressions and moments?  Completely and utterly normal for her…within a span of […]

Sometimes in life you go on crazy adventures. And April sounds like a great time for one of those. Our little family is road-tripping back to Chicago for just such an adventure and I’d be all kinds of honored to have the opportunity to document your amazing self (and possibly your loved ones) while I’m […]

Today I turned 31. Little ones sang. Sweet friends called, sang, sent messages and the like. I got to tell my mom thank you for waiting 2 extra weeks for me to come out. My kids cried. And we watched Kung Fu Panda. Though nothing about this day was “ideal”, it was so beautiful and […]

Once upon a time, I entertained visions of Pinterest grandeur. This is my story of my epic Pinterest FAIL. You see, my sweet little man has been craving snow.  Begging for it.  Praying for it.  So I figured I would step in and be the hero.  Like you do when you’re trying to be supermom. […]

I’ll be back.  Pinky swear. I’m just in the midst of growing.  Of healing.  Of God rewriting so much of me.  Of learning how to be more present in all that I do and create. It’s beautiful.  I’m grateful.  It’s hard.  It’s worth it. But…this.  This is the biggest why I’m not here… These two. […]

“She even lost her wedding photos.” I read those words and I just knew…I had to do something.  I can’t give her back her wedding pictures.  But I can give her the gift of a session and document now.  This love that’s carried through losing everything.  And if we can find her a wedding dress […]
