It all began well over a year ago. Kyle put a ring on it. I was there for the engagement pictures and the wedding day. It only makes sense that I would meet them at Sinnissippi Park to continue the trend. Kyle and Sabrina know they will be welcoming a little boy in mid-July, and I […]

I’ve had the pleasure of capturing this spunky girl for three years now. Every year around her birthday, we spend an hour or so walking around the farm, exploring the family’s land, and letting this youngster be young. Here’s a look back at Grace’s third and fourth birthday portraits. She’s got the ornery twinkle in […]

When Josie’s mom, Brooke, saw Ivy Lane’s lemonade stand mini-sessions, she knew this would be perfect for Josie’s second birthday portraits! We met on the corner of State Street and Highway 6 at the Geneseo city park, and Josie took right to the lemons. She spent a good while stacking them and moving them before […]

Sometimes it’s so easy for me to forget how magical this moment is to the little girls who meet Starry Night. I mean, I’m so worried about the logistics– driving directions, time slots, lighting, location– that I forget that this is a surreal moment for my unicorn kiddos and mamas. Since this was my second […]

I’ve worked with this family a number of times this past year, and was super excited when Staci scheduled three-year portraits for Dylan! Here’s the little boy I was expecting– captured back in September of 2017. This spunky little redhead is 100% boy! He enjoys all the things that little boys enjoy– playing with trucks […]

Have you ever met a kiddo who loved watermelon over cake? Let me introduce you to one… This is Miss EmmaLee. Cake smashes are so much fun, and my time with this little lady was no different! EmmaLee’s mom wanted a watermelon themed set-up and even brought some fresh fruit props. Before we got the […]

After a weekend of Elles and Ellies and Eleanors, I met Ellis, who also goes by Ellie. Ellis is a family name, and I love the uniqueness and legacy involved. Such a happy little girl Ellis is. And such a mommy’s girl! <3 Mom Anna and I trekked back to the perfect spot, and Ellis […]

When I got the call to photograph the McClintock family, I remembered the family I met with back in December of 2016. At the time, Stephanie was preparing to undergo round one of chemotherapy and had wanted pictures before she shaved her hair. I didn’t know what to expect that day, but I found a […]

Happy Monday, everyone! Today on the blog, I’d like to go over our unique child photography offerings planned for the year and how you can plan ahead for your portraiture session! We’ve got so much planned for this year! We’re so excited to offer super cute set-ups, like the lemonade stand and the superhero minis! […]

The days are getting longer and the snow is melting. ‘Tis the season for portraits! As we gear up for many special mini-session offerings, I want to take just a few moments to clarify the different between mini-sessions and custom sessions. Time Mini-sessions are just that– mini! They’re only 15-20 minutes in length and intended […]
