A very special session at a very magical beach!

So much twirling, running, giggling, jumping and flying… it was almost impossible to edit this one down to 32 pictures! The joy just beams out of the photos!

An in home session with a leaf blower and a pup!

We packed a lot into this hour long session! The beauty of being at home for your photos is that you can let the kids take the lead. When these kiddos started getting antsy we headed out for a walk with the dog and then came back in for a little musical concert in the kitchen!

A mini portrait session at the park.

I’ve been photographing the Moy family since big brother was a squishy little bub barely able to sit on his own. After years of photo sessions including a maternity, newborn, parties and an extended family session including grandparents, I look forward to their sessions the same way I look forward to catching up with old friends. I say it all the time but one of my favorite things about this job is watching kids grow up!

Family Portraits at the beach!

Another sweet session with two wriggly cutie pies at my favorite beach!

A spring fling for three lucky sisters!

This party designed by Beijos Events was brimming with adorable details and fun activities for both the kiddos and parents a like.

Everything from a petting zoo from Little Horse on the Prairie, slime making with Create and Celebrate Kids and gorgeous craft cocktails for the parents by West Beverage.

The three birthday girls all had the time of their lives as you can see from all the happy smiles!

An in home newborn session with a very excited big sister!

Big sister kept this session very lively and full of giggles! She even knew how to make baby brother smile too! It was the perfect example of letting the kids be kids. In between the chaos there are always inevitably moments of calm and I’ll be ready to capture those before the toddler tornado takes off again!!

A Dolly Parton party for twin 8 year olds!

This adorable Dolly Parton themed party is the 5th party I’ve photographed for this sweet family. The Beijos Events team designed and planned this one ( as well as the others! ) and I think this one is my favorite one yet. “What would Dolly do?”… well she would throw a party at a horse ranch, serve adorable sweet treats, pizza and drinks. Have multiple craft tables and of course horse back riding too! “It’s hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world” but Stella and Charlotte and all their lucky friends managed to pull it off!

Family portraits in the park

This sweet family have been with me for awhile now… ever since Mama was pregnant with little sister! At this point they feel like friends and I look forward to our sessions together each time. Here’s a few of my favorites from their most recent gallery.
