You can wear shorts or a suit, and be comfortable in either. It also is when I am most busy with Senior photo sessions. Everyone tends to realize their kid is,*-crap-* a …

How does your small business represent themselves through imagery online? How does your homepage show “you” and what you represent by your photos, hero image and graphics? This is something I personally have had a lot of time to think about because of the countless hours I have put into my business’s website. It is …

Hi to all the amazing and unique high school students! Senior Pictures can be intimidating and stressful. I have both guys and girls who just “don’t want to be into: getting their pictures taken”. I get it. It’s something most people haven’t ever done anything like before. You have your worries, and frankly it doesn’t …
I had the great honor, later during the summer of 2021, capturing some newborn moments with the same family: now a family of three! My newborn and milestone sessions are “on location” and normally take place within the client’s home. The only criteria I need for one of these kinds of session: is a room …
In June of 2021 I had the privilege and honor of doing my first ever Maternity Photography session. I have always stared in awe at the beauty of these kinds of photos when I look through the social media accounts of other photographers I follow. I find so beautiful: a woman “with child”. I myself …

My First Senior Session of 2022 came when a sweet momma called me in late July and wondered if she could get her son booked with me within a week. (He plays soccer and it’s very difficult to book with any photographer once the HS sports season starts.) I had just laid out my fall …

…But you still would love to have a family photo… The M. Family I love big families. I was raised in a family of 5 and always knew I wanted to have at least 4 kids so that my family would be “big” according to the American standard at least. As you may know I …
Last January as it often does it dumped a glorious amount of snow on us on a Saturday. “The size of the flakes and how fast it was coming down was downright MAGICAL!” Heid Iliff I had two new little pieces of equipment that I had purchased for myself for Christmas that I was aching …
I booked a family in late February for a session that wouldn’t happen until the end of May. I was super excited for two reasons. One I hadn’t had a family job since the fall and had started to have imposter syndrome about my family work. Two this family was “kids and dogs.” I personally …
I was so excited and thankful for this job back in February 2021. It had been a couple of months since I had had any kind of “paid” job other than a couple of headshots for some friends. I had an ankle reconstruction surgery on December 10, 2020 and at the time of this shoot …
