Sweet baby Jacob | Lifestyle Newborn Session

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!

A Fall Romp in the Woods | Lifestyle Photography

My heart literally goes pitter-patter when a client tells me, “We just want you to capture us having fun, being ourselves, and loving each other. In fact, we love to play tag.” THIS is my heart and my passion.

While I love indoor lifestyle photography, I also cherish getting your family into nature and creating memories together. When this family looks at these pictures on their walls, I pray that they will always hear the laughter and feel the joy of our fantastic fall session!

Wondering what to wear?

2016-10-07_0006.jpgWondering what to wear to your upcoming shoot? Never fear, my quick tips are here!

-Start with one patterned piece and then pull everyone else’s clothing colors from the pattern
-Mix up textures! Layered sweater, chunky jewelry, scarves and belts give your photos a great feel
– Don’t forget your feet! Put women and girls in cute boots and the men and boys in leather shoes. Leave the tennis shoes at home!

For GOBS more tips, read my article on Little Lake County!

See you at your shoot!

I absolutely love capturing families year after year. It’s amazing to see them grow and change, and I’m priviledged to capture these memories to put on their walls!

Meet the Heppner family

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is getting to stay in touch with friends that I’ve had for years. Heather and I met while getting our master’s at U of I, and I love getting to catch up while I capture their family’s memories! Happy 1 year, Matthew!
