I had the honor of photographing a few births over the years, check out this memorable one .... what am I saying? They are ALL memorable. Check out this one!

I woke up chilly under the covers since we lost power the day before, and groggily reached for the lightswitch in the bathroom to brush my teeth forgetting that the electricity was still out. That's when I heard my cell phone bing in the bedroom (thank goodness I charged it the night before at my

Family photo season is here! Want genuine smiles and natural moments in your photos this year? Here are a few of my favorite tips to help your session feel easy, fun, and full of real connection:

🍁 Choose a relaxed, familiar location.
A park, your backyard, or somewhere your family feels at home will help everyone loosen up and enjoy the moment.

🍃 Coordinate, don’t match.
Go for complementary colors or tones that fit the season. Laying everyone’s outfits out together on a bed ahead of time can help you see what works best.

🍂 Get playful.
Hug, laugh, run, or be silly together — the best photos come from genuine interaction.

🍎 Bring snacks.
A quick snack break (pretzels or goldfish) can keep energy high and moods happy, especially with little ones.

🧡 Embrace the imperfect.
The best moments often come from the in-between — laughter, movement, and connection. Just keep smiling and let it unfold.

Bonus tip: plan something fun afterward, like a stop for ice cream, to give everyone something to look forward to!

I’m always chasing those real, natural, in-between moments that unfold during the progression of a session. Just keep smiling!!
