Indoor Studio Session | Spring Grove Photographer

 

Indoor sessions don’t have to be boring… they can still capture your family’s intimacy and emotion. All of Jessica’s sessions capture the fun, silly, and loving relationships in your family, and indoor studio sessions are no different.

Whether your family is cuddling on the bed or snuggling on the couch, we will make those real smiles and giggles last forever!

This was one of my favorite sessions last year with a family of boys who love to giggle and tickle. It was so much fun, and so easy! I think that every one of us had a great time during this shoot!

You don’t need to look at the camera and say ‘cheese’ for a perfect family portrait.

Scarlett| 6 Month Milestone Session

 

There is not greater joy, than watching a baby grow and change. Embracing every new milestone and rejoicing in each new skill. What a gift to be able to capture these tiny (but mighty) steps for families!

From grabbing their toes to gummy smiles to incredible sloppy kisses, they are all sweet signs of budding personalities.

My favorite part is when mom tells me something about her babe that tugs at her heart, and then we get to capture it. For sweet Scarlett it was her newfound skill of giving mommy open-mouthed cheek kisses!

Happy 6 months, sweet Scarlett!

6 month old Lifestyle Session| Spring Grove Photographer

I love being asked into a family’s home to capture the sweetness of their daily life. To see them in the favorite places, with the parts of their world that they love… these are some of my very favorite shoots.

I captured itty bitty Caleb in his home when he was just a newborn, so it was extra special to return 6 months later to capture him with some of his favorites… bubbles and his big brother.

Even more fun is capturing the interaction between brothers. Caleb simply beams when his big brother enters the room. I loved getting to see their sweet love for each other.

There are so many more adorable shots from this shoot. Playing in their bedroom, snuggling on their beds, reading their favorite books. But for now, just a quick dip in the sink!

Just a Moment | True Rest

Just a Moment | True Rest

(sorry folks, gonna go a little deep today)
Over the past year, I’ve been pondering the idea of REST. Real rest. What is it? What does it look like? How does it make me FEEL?
For years my idea of rest was bingeing on my favorite Netflix episode (ugh… auto next episode) or lounging around with my favorite novel. But I realized that, even though these things feel relaxing while I’m doing them, I end up feeling tired… worn out… empty.
But I thought I was resting?
On a recent trip to the beach with my family I realized that true rest is restorative, nurturing, soul fulfilling. Rest grows us from within. Fuels us. Makes us better people. And it’s hard. Rest takes work! It’s the effort of doing when we don’t feel like it, and being present when we might not want to be. But afterwards we feel whole instead of depleted. Worthy instead of sucked dry.
For me, that weekend, it was being completely present with my family. Instead of drowning in a book on the beach, we searched for the perfect seashells, dug our feet into the chilly sand, and threw rocks into the waves. We made memories and moments instead of just taking a time out.
So what gives you rest? Where is your passion? Is it volunteering, exercising, cooking, creating, organizing? These are the things that will restore you!

So, as we enter fall, rest well, friend. Rest well.
