Sawyer's Cake Smash <3

I had the opportunity to document this sweet babies entire first year of milestones. This is such a bitter sweet time. I’m so happy I was able to document every milestone but sad I wont see her every couple months for a session. This just shows you how much a baby grows in the first year. Not just physically but personality too.

Less is more <3

Sometimes less is more. I know that I have been known for my super creative and over the top set ups. Specially when it comes to cake smash sessions, and mini sessions. When this little ladies Mama asked for a classic, timeless look with florals. I decided to do something a bit out of the box for me. I kept it simple and sweet, but still so beautiful. Can’t wait to finish this sweet girls gallery. <3

We finally made it the sunflower fields. The girls had a blast. They did a scavenger hut and led the way. I only managed to get one picture of them but it was the most perfect picture.

Happy 6 Months Mailey Rae <3

The reason I started my photography journey almost 3 years ago was to photograph my girls. So much has changed over those 3 short years including adding this little beauty to our family. She turned 6 months yesterday, so I wanted to share a newborn image I took of her I was never able to edit and share. Happy 6 months my little sunshine. We love all of you, from your contagious laugh, your adorable smile, to your appetite for all things food even when you hate the taste lol. You are growing way too fast and way to proud of your self. Keep shinning sweet girl <3

Before and After

One thing I hear more times then I can count is how anyone with a good camera can be a photographer. That maybe correct but so much goes into photography that very little people think about. This before and after collage is a perfect example. The OC inlet was packed with people, my camera white balance was stuck in a very cool setting, and the sun was setting fast. Lighting was a huge issue and nothing was going our way. With a little photoshop magic I was able to salvage this sweet memory of my daughter and transform this otherwise drab photo into a beautiful work of art..📸

Colton's 2nd Birthday <3

It is such a joy having the opportunity to witness a child’s growth over the years. This little guy is no exception. He is so full of energy and personality, and truly a blast to photograph. Anything goes with this guy, from tryin to eat seashells to eating sugar with a gold coin. His smile is infectious and he is sure to light up any room he enters. I am so glad I have been able to capture his most recent milestones and holidays. All moments that remind me why I love my job.

Amelia's Smash Session <3

This little girl was a hard shell to crack. She’s so determined, strong willed, and adorable. She was not a huge fan of her cake but she gave me such personality. I was so happy with how pretty this floral, boho, rustic turned out. This little lady absolutely fit perfect into that theme.
