I‘ve said it before and I will say it again, photographing families throughout various stages of their life is one of my favorite parts of this job! I met most of this lovely family a year ago for their youngest baby’s newborn session, and loved my time with them. Their two boys absolutely stole my heart that day, and I was so excited to hear that we would be meeting again, this time with more of the family!
They are kind and affectionate with each other, engaged in each other’s lives, and just the most welcoming family! M/S family, I hope you love these favorites of mine- I can’t wait to finish with your full gallery soon! Thank you SO much for letting me witness another stage of your stage of your life! First meet the S family:
These little boys are close to the age of my babies and are just ADORABLE- they never cease to make me smile!!Here is the whole group!
A sweet couple on the left, an the BEST excited face on the right!These two absolutely ADORE their grand babies, and those boys light up with papa and grandma in the room. It is so sweet to see!Thanks again S/M family! I hope you love these!

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!).
I'm so glad you are here! Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business! I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
