Who has bright red hair, the biggest smile, the happiest disposition, chubby little cheeks, and super cool parents? Aiden does. And I got to take his photos just about two weeks before he turned one. It’s always great to see this family, and this time was no exception. It’s one of my favorite shoots of...
Yearly Archives: 2011
Blake, Nigel, and their parents. :)
I got to take photos of our good friends last week, which is always a lot of fun for me. Our friends have the cutest kids, and it’s so fun to be able to capture their family life at different stages. Sometimes we have to be really creative to make taking photos a game when...
Chicago portrait special: this Sunday only!
Hi, friends! It looks like we’re going to be in Chicago this weekend! I LOVE that city, and the awesome people who live there, and would love to be able to take some photos of families or couples or anyone else who would love some fun pre-holiday photos in the windy city. I’m even offering...
Bikes and palm trees by the Newport Beach Pier
We stopped in Newport Beach on our drive down Highway 1, to pay homage to one of our favorite TV shows, The O.C. (Don’t judge! It totally has redeeming value!). It was an unusually cloudy day in Southern California, but the rain let up and the clouds parted a little bit as we walking on...
Los Angeles Sunset
This is what our view was like on Mullholland Drive in Los Angeles, right as the sun set on Saturday night. I love it when the sky turns pink.
We’re on the West Coast!
We are on a little West Coast tour. We’re currently in San Diego, working on a huge project that we can’t wait to share once it’s ready to go. We originally had plans to attend a conference, but decided to turn a few days of our trip into a “work retreat” to get away from...
I love photographing fun families!
I’ve had some super fun family sessions this fall. I love photographing families, especially families who let kids be kids. I had so much fun with this family of three, and we laughed a LOT as we explored the park together! 4-year-olds are at such a fun age, where photos can really capture their personalities....
My friend Kaley’s family!
I met Kaley our first night as freshmen at K-State, brushing our teeth in the public bathroom on our floor in Goodnow Hall. Right away, she was one of the nicest people I had ever met. It’s still true today — when the days have passed of eating in the dining hall, watching the Bachelor...
Allyson and Matt are having a baby!
I got to take their engagement photos a while ago, and now this super sweet couple is expecting their first baby! They already have a canine “daughter” so we included her in some photos, too! Here are just a few photos from their session.
When all else fails, do a 20-minute photo shoot in the yard.
We had it all planned out. An epic location, the perfect time of day for dreamy fall family photos, and outfits that were layered, coordinated, but not too matchy. It was going to be amazing. But, what would a good family story be without a little twist? The Natos are good friends of ours, good...
