Big things happened to a lot of couples and families this year. Some people, like my sister- and brother-in-law, took a leap of faith, sold the first house they bought together, moved to Kansas City, both found new jobs, and bought a beautiful and historic home. Here’s their story this year: Have you heard about...

Layne’s 2011 Story
There’s still a little time to take advantage of the Christmas portrait special this year, 2011 Story Shoots! The special ends next week, but if you’ve put off a family photo this long or still don’t know what to do about a Christmas card, I’ve got you covered! We’re doing these with super fast turnaround...
Another 2011 Story Shoot!
I got to photograph our good friends the Parsons for a 2011 Story Shoots. They have a wonderful story this year, which started out with a bunch of unknowns and questions that come with starting the adoption process. But in May, their family grew to include a tiny little baby boy… who isn’t so tiny...
What’s your story this year? (Christmas portrait special)
Happy December 1st! I just love this month — the anticipation of Christmas, and the end of the year is on the horizon. It’s always a time of joy, thankfulness, and reflection on what 2011 held. A year in the life of a family, a couple, or a child is often marked by something big...
Lisa and her sisters!
It’s the best thing to spend time with people who are so full of life. Like Lisa, who never stopped smiling during our whole shoot, who laughed a lot, and who was just a joy to photograph. People who are so full of life, like Lisa and her two sisters, Sarah and Emily — who...
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.
The Beatys do New York!
We’re in New York City right now. Surprise! We have an incredible wedding that Jeff and I are filming tomorrow. Our friends Jon and Emily are the photographers for the wedding. Since we’re all in this city at the same time, we decided shoots of each other were in order. They love the show How...
Fall Portraits and Travel Schedule! :)
People always ask me what kind of shoots are my favorites to do. They want to know if families are more fun than engagement photos or if babies are the best because they’re so cute. But the truth is, I can’t pick one. It changes all the time, because what I love more than a...
Renee and JP’s Anniversary Session
They said I’m their “marriage historian.” They’re planning to do a session every year during the month of their anniversary, and I get to capture it. Because they realize the importance of capturing images that represent their lives together. They recognize that someday, these days will be gone, and new days will come, but they’ll...
Family photos in Washington, D.C.
I took a trip to Washington, D.C. last week with my siblings (more on that later). In between all of the sightseeing, museums, monuments, eating pizza, and riding the Metro, I met up with this adorable family for some relaxed family photos at the Tidal Basin/Jefferson Memorial. Sol and Rachel have two adorable boys —...
