This family’s story is precious. It’s a story of second chances and redemption as a result of this new life. Through her birth, and the people who provided support to this couple along the way, their lives were changed.
I can’t think of a more precious legacy to begin your life with! 
Lifestyle sessions are a treasure… what a gift to capture a glimpse of daily life. Even though things like cooking and dishes may seem mundane, these little segments portray the REAL you. These are the pieces that you want to treasure and hold onto.
I was so honored when my dear friend Angela asked me to capture her sweet family to celebrate a huge milestone in her DoTerra business. What an amazing way to commemorate something you’ve worked so hard- by celebrating the life you live!
We spent time snuggling, cooking, doing some chores, and even running around with the goats on their gorgeous Half Way Farm.
Most importantly, I was able to capture her and the ones she loves the most in their favorite place on earth… their home.
Not only is Angela a successful business woman, she is also a homeschooling mama of 6, an incredible interior decorator, chef, and author, and an amazing woman who has a passion for her family above all else. If you spend 10 minutes with her, you’ll find that her desire for a simple, healthy, and very meaningful life is infectious!
You can read more about her on her blog Parisienne Farmgirl or order your own piece of the farm by purchasing her cookbook (that includes my photography!)

I disagree with the notion that beauty is only skin deep… this gorgeous lady has beauty running through her veins. Not only is she a homeschooling mama of 6, a very successful entrepreneur, and an author of her very own cookbook From France to the Farm, she has a generous, compassionate spirit and a heart of gold.
I am always begging mamas to get in front of my camera, so I was thrilled that she wanted to commemorate a glamorous date night with her love with a mini photo shoot. I think that these are images that will be treasured for years to come!

When you bring your sweet babe home, you really have no idea how life is going to change. The diapers, the wipes, the crying and the feeding… and then the snuggles and the smiles. It’s a joy you can’t even imagine. When I capture a babe’s first days in their new home, I get to photograph all these moments. The good and the bad. Without one, we wouldn’t have the other, and we want to remember each one. We want to never forget.
This beautiful mama has been my dear friend since grade school. We have walked down so many of life’s paths together. I’m so grateful to be by her side and she and her sweet hubby start the journey of parenthood. They have no idea the blessings in store for them!
Welcome, Jacob Ronald Flaum. Welcome to our world!
