Sometimes, life with kids gets a little monotonous. I would love to say it’s all full of adventure and Instagram worthy moments – but…it’s not. So today when my little lady left and made it VERY clear that I was to protect her brand new stuffed animal bunny “April” from her brothers – I got […]

Dear Sweet Little Lady, Oh you darling little girl…  You are HERE.  It took a lot to get your here.  Your mommy and daddy were AMAZING. And you?  You are heaven…here.  On earth.  It can be hard to see it when you’re waking your mommy and daddy up as much as I know you are […]

So I’m starting something new…  And here’s why. For a while now I’ve had two problems…  First of all, mini-sessions grate on me.  Big time.  There has always been something that didn’t quite fit how I view people and their stories.  It was one location that I picked and I felt like the experience left […]

Today I spent the day with these amazing people and I breathed in the preciousness that is new life.  There’s more to come, but for now here are some of my favorite moments…

  Meet my incredibly beautiful/kind-hearted/loving/intelligent/stylish/strong nieces, my handsome/hilarious/smart/compassionate/strong nephew, my heroic/loving/kind/stylish/beautiful/wise sister-in-law and my hero from the age of 2, my oldest brother.  I love them all and could not be more grateful for the chance to spend time with them and to have these pictures and memories to hold forever.  Love you all and […]

This beautiful little lady?  My newest niece. Meet sweet Hollyn and my precious nieces and nephew, my beautiful sister-in-law and…my slightly smelly, but genuinely wonderful older brother.  

This is what 63 years of choosing to say yes, choosing to love, choosing to forgive, choosing to hold hands, choosing to let the small things stay small and laughing so hard you nearly fall over looks like… I love this look.  And these people. PS: Kristin, you are also one incredible daughter…

Dear Sweet Myla,   Oh beautiful girl…  I love you.  You are sweetness, and beauty, and you hold us all captive with your tiny little fingers and full head of hair. Though I’m sure you’re already discovering this, you must know that you have an amazing mommy and daddy.  To know them is to love […]

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 […]

All of us had prayed for no rain.  However, the weather stations kept mentioning 80% chances and other gloomy forecasts. But throughout the morning, there was creamy light and no sign of rain ahead.  Dresses were adorned, hugs were shared and flower girls twirled in their beautiful dresses. Gia walked down the aisle, arm in […]
