Lifestyle Photography | Lake County Photographer

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.

I love a good surprise! And I also love being in on surprises! I was so thrilled to help this family announce the new little lady coming into their lives. Congrats Shaffer Family! I can’t wait to capture many more moments for you!

When you’ve had a best friend since birth, getting ready to embark on a new journey is more fun together. Even though these twin seniors shared their shoot, we made sure to capture their individual personalities and interests.

Congrats Kaiser siblings! I can’t wait to see the many new adventures that life takes you on!

When I get to capture another artist, it is such a privilege. So be able to combine my vision and their art is like composing a well played harmony.

To be able to capture this senior on the verge of her dreams was incredible. As she prepares to embark on her next journey at Juilliard, her light will shine as brightly as this gorgeous evening sun.

Let your light shine on every stage you cross, Ally!

Just a Moment

For the past 12 years we have been blessed to be able to vacation with our closest friends in one of the most beautiful places on earth in Colorado! We take time to get away from it all and hike, eat, relax, and adventure. I forget how necessary and therapeutic it is to put a pause on life. To wake up with zero agenda and no place to be.

Our kids roam the mountainside collecting pinecones and rocks, while their daddy and I drink coffee in our pj’s and watch the hummingbirds flutter around us (although there is one persistent birdy that insists on trying to drink from my pink iphone!) The best of part of our yearly trip is the evenings that Jason and I spend on the deck, under the blanket of stars, dreaming. With wine in hand we discuss “what ifs” to our heart’s content. Little by little, we are getting to see our dreams come true!

So, this is where you’ll find me for the next week. And when I get home, I have a baby boom waiting for me! I can’t wait! See you soon!
