Adam’s family was moving across the country when he spotted Carly while touring one of his potential new high schools.

These two have been together since high school, went to college together, and were finally married this past weekend in Missouri. Their wedding day began with threats of thunderstorms, but the skies held off until the bride and …

On a snowy March morning that looked more like a scene from a classic Christmas movie than the first day of spring, I snuggled up by the fire in the warm home of the Wilder family.

You want to know what I love about taking portraits of people? Women, especially? I love when I am able to get them to come out of their shell and just show off how beautiful they are. Images can be so empowering. I just love it. Speaking of empowering, let’s talk about my wonderful friend, Hannah of Love Always Hannah and Piccadilly Events. She writes one very empowering and heartfelt …

You can read about all that she has learned in her first few months as a full-time …
Washington, DC is home to some of the coolest families. I’m convinced. Kelly and Virginia are two incredible artists who double as parents to their sweet son, Atticus. Last week they welcomed me into their ridiculously awesome loft in the heart of the city to come along on their Sunday morning family routine. They read and built puzzles together before breakfast, built some epic train track routes, and then ventured over to …

Those swaddled-tight-like-a-tiny-burrito photos always kill me. I mean, how cute is she?? I loved spending an evening with this adorable family and their sweet, sweet new addition. I have a real soft spot for newborns (no pun intended – did anyone else get that? or am I not funny) ANYWAYS. I have a soft spot for newborns and just about die over how cute each one is. This beautiful little …
