6 month old Lifestyle Session| Spring Grove Photographer

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 | From France to the Farm

Did you know that you can buy my work on Amazon?
Once upon a time, while waiting for our girls during dance class,Angela Reed and I struck up a friendship. (We would later find out that we’re related! Small world!) I learned that she was a local momma blogger who was writing a cookbook, and when she asked if I wanted to help, I grabbed my camera and ran over! We spent fun afternoons in her kitchen and garden capturing slices of her passion (and even one of her in the bathtub!) Those shots went into her cookbook, and you can buy your own copy today! (pardon the dirty fingerprints on my edition- I use it all the time)
I recently shot a lifestyle session for her, and you can see glimpses of her amazing house and adorable family on my blog.

AND you can order your very own copy here!

If you’ve been following me over the last year or so, you know that my heart beats for lifestyle photography. I yearn to capture your authentic life. Your snuggles, dancing, cooking, crying, and cuddles. The intimate and tender moments that compose the fabric of your family. These every day pieces are what you will want to remember when your toddlers turn into teens.

Thank you to this special family for inviting me back in to their home- to capture the extraordinarily ordinary moments of their lives.

Witte Family | Lifestyle Newborn Session

W. Family | Lifestyle Newborn Session

There is something so precious and intimate about getting to experience some of the first days of a newborn’s life. This little one, while only a few weeks old, has already experienced so many blessings.

From the perfect timing of her birth, to her much hoped for perfect size, to her very special name, Susanna Faith; her little life is already a testament to the Father’s goodness.

She was welcomed home to her big sisters and big brother who already love her deeply. This little miracle will never want for playmates or protectors!

But her journey isn’t over. Her family will be relocating to Nepal in the fall to start a new adventure- and I have no doubt they will continue to experience more blessings to come!
