I cannot believe I have been capturing this sweet family for just over a year, and the stages I have seem them through. Maternity, Newborn, 4 months, 8 months, and now (officially yesterday!), a year!! I absolutely adore this sweet family. Derek and Hannah are just about the nicest 2 people you could meet- they are so welcoming and kind, and I have truly enjoyed getting to know them. In addition…Hannah has the best sense of style, so seeing their beautiful home that they are re-doing with amazing flair over the year has been so fun. And their sweet little boy….I have always felt a special little bond with him, and his 4 month photos just put him over the top for me- he just smiled and cooed at each other!!! These 3 make a beautiful family and love each other so deeply. It is absolutely beautiful to see, and it has been such an honor to watch it develop over the last year! I can’t wait to see how it grows in the future! Here are a few of my favorites from sweet Emmett’s 1 year session!
His birthday party was sea-turtle themed–do you see this adorable little turtle?!!
Derek and Hannah planed this tree when sweet Emmett was born! I LOVE this! Beautiful family! I just adore this sweet boy! Happy happy birthday Emmett!! Derek and Hannah, your full gallery is coming soon- I just adore you guys and hope you love these favorites!

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!).
Oh my goodness, what a cutie pie!
