I am so excited to share this beautiful new baby E after his parents maternity session a few months ago, which was one of my favorite sessions of the summer! I traveled to their beautiful home, in the middle of a major restoration project (wait until you see their finished dining room- I NEVER thought I would shoot in a dining room for a lifestyle newborn session but I couldn’t stay out!). And on that note, I have photographed in some beautiful nurseries. And I think all of my newborn parents do an amazing job with them- but I HAVE to rave about this nursery before you even see it! It had a vintage travel theme for this sweet little boy explorer, and it was absolutely adorable- I over-shared a bit on it! Derek and Hannah make wonderful, calm, kind parents for their boy. And he ADORES them! Emmett calms instantly at their touch and voices, and is so comfortable in their arms. I loved seeing them together, and can’t wait to watch him grow up! Congrats, H family–I am so excited for you guys, and loved photographing you again! Now friends…check out this nursery, and this sweet new family!
These two love their sweet pets (pictured later)…and mom is a veterinarian! So of course, we had to grab a quick picture with mom’s tools!
LOVE photographing newborns outside…and they had fall leaves! Just in their yard- it was crazy!
So excited for this happy family!!

You're in the right place! As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business! I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).
