A little sneak peek of something coming soon and I wasn’t the photographer!! 🤭🤭

Raise your hand if you have ever had things just not go your way when it’s time to head out for family photos. 🙋🏼‍♀️ Oh, like all of you? The baby didn’t nap and is a disaster, someone knocked out a tooth or scraped their face 5 minutes before you were leaving, someone’s practice ran over and now they don’t have time to shower, one of the parents had the dates mixed up and has a meeting that can’t be rescheduled… these are just a few of the most recent, real examples, and there are so many more I could share.

While I can’t control the outside forces of your life, I’m going to do everything I can to make your session as low-stress as possible; at least once you get out of the car and til you get back in the car. At that point your on your own. 😂 And for all of the above examples, I was able to reschedule, rearrange, or otherwise accommodate where needed. Because I’m a mom of 5 very active kids, with a job, and a husband with a demanding job, and I. GET. IT. When you hire me, you’re hiring not just a professional with a camera (I’m that, too), but someone who understands the shoes you’re in, because I’m in them too. And guess what? The chaos is way more beautiful to photograph than perfect smiley robots anyway.

Love this family by the way, and know so many of you in my town do, too. Aren’t they gorgeous??

Yesterday, she turned eight!

She lives up to her middle name, Joy, every day. She’s a lover, fighter, empath, and fire-breathing dragon 🤣. Usually the fire is appropriately aimed, and I have a feeling she’s the one that’ll take care of her mom and dad in the future when we need her. 🫶🏻 She often tells me if she had a different mom, she would NOT love her and would punch that mom in the face.

She’s Owen’s second mama, a loyal friend to many, and isn’t afraid to show how much she loves people. It never ceases to amaze me that we saw so many of these characteristics in her years ago, even as a toddler, and they’re still there, just growing and maturing.

Forever grateful to be her mom. We love you, Amelia! Can’t wait to see what 8 has in store for you!!

Here’s another session and family from this past fall that I love so much! Jaclyn is my friend, my equally competitive workout buddy, my hand-me-down clothing source, fellow reptile mom + college athletics wife, plus so much more. 🤩 She also happens to have a gorgeous, photogenic family and revisiting these images was just the boost I needed on a February Monday (though today is so nice and sunny, so that helps too and has me dreaming of spring sessions!).

This family!! They’re the greatest neighbors, friends, and partners-in-homeschool-crime (🤣) a girl could ever ask for. Fun fact is that Elissa broke her toe the morning of this session, and didn’t even TELL me until way after! If that had been me, I would’ve been 1) canceling or 2) moaning/crying all throughout. And of course she did neither but instead got her entire family looking gorgeous and put together and smiled the whole time. The takeaway is: are you committed to family photos like Elissa or are you NOT?! 😂

Time is weird because I am certain this girl is no older than 4 or 5 years old?!? And yet here she is, so grown up with the kindest, sweetest heart of gold you could ever ask for in a person. My whole family loves her and is so happy for her next chapter (but sad for us!).

Senior sessions – whether I know you before them or not – are so special to me. Maybe it’s because I’m a mom that can way too easily picture MY kid on the other side of the lens - we’re closer than I’d like to admit to that reality. Maybe it’s because even though I’m old, I can still so easily remember this time in life, both has a high school and college senior, with so much transition and hope and mixed emotions all happening at once.

I’d be honored to get to document this time for you, too. Even though the weather is 👎 right now, spring is coming, and I’ve been booking lots of seniors these past couple weeks. If you’d like to get on my calendar, let’s talk!

And a quick poll since these are fun. If you’re past that season of life, did you have senior photos (besides like, yearbook photos) taken when you graduated high school or college? I didn’t aside from the yearbook ones in high school and I do regret it but it wasn’t really a thing back then!! (“Back in my day…”)

Somehow, this precious boy turned one last week. Swipe through to see how he felt about the cake. Spoiler: he did not like the cake. Also, read on if you’d like to learn his name story. It’s special one (to us, at least). Long post alert!!

There are so many things I could say about Owen – about how he has blessed our entire family, how we don’t deserve him, how we are so very thankful God had him in the plan for the White family.

He’s our most popular family member, loves people + makes friends everywhere he goes, and operates on his own timeline. He’s observant and funny and loves to eat (I should’ve mentioned that first, it’s basically a personality trait).

He says mama, dada, some variation of his siblings’ names, dog, cat, ball, please, “that!” and makes lots of funny sounds when he’s playing with cars, planes, etc. And no, he’s not even close to walking. I’m sure his first steps will be toward food. 😂

And since I never shared his name story, now seems good! Back in 2015, when we were expecting our now-seven year old, we had the name Owen picked out for our next boy. Since we ended up having 2 more girls, we didn’t think we’d get to use it. Enter baby #5, and he was a boy! He already had a name 🙌. I told a friend the name we had chosen, and she stopped me and asked if I knew its origin. I didn’t, so she explained: Owen is an anglicized version of the Latin name “Eugene.” And friends who don’t know: my dad’s name was Eugene (he went by Gene). We’d had the name picked out for years, with no boy to give it to - until after my dad passed away. The story gets even better that against all odds, Owen was born on – you guessed it – my dad’s birthday. In summary: we unknowingly named him after my dad and they share a birthday. You can’t make this stuff up.

Happy birthday, Owen! We cannot wait to see what year two holds for our best little guy!!!

Wishing these two a VERY happy anniversary!! I’m not sure where two years went, because surely this was just a couple weeks ago. I’ve shared some of these images before, but all of them brought a smile to my face this morning thinking back on their perfect, snowy January day, and I thought they all deserved a new square. 🤍

Happy New Year! ✨ I do love a fresh start with new (continued?) goals. I have been way quieter than I meant to be around here, but life has been full celebrating Christmas, traveling for a bowl game, trying to keep some semblance of peace and order… 🤪

Speaking of peace, I’m here today to share the most precious newborn session I had the honor of capturing last month. I have lots more fall goodness still to share, too, but if you missed scheduling outdoor photos in 2023, let this be your nudge that in-home photos this winter might be just what you need (with or without a newborn 😍).

12/19/2023

Catching up over here, and have been so excited to share this precious session featuring the kindest parents, most endearingly sweet little guy, and THE most gorgeous outfit change.

I am loving receiving all of your beautiful Christmas cards, and if you realize you haven’t gotten one from the White family, you’d be right… going to call this a “cobbler’s children have no shoes” situation, but doing my BEST to remedy it and send New Year’s cards!! Anyone else in my very late to send cards boat?? 🥴

12/11/2023

Well, since y’all thought the girls were so cute last week, here’s a surprise to absolutely no one: their parents are, too! Love this family, and how loving and laid-back they are together in front of the camera (and when it’s not out, for that matter!).

As always, please swipe because they’re all my favorite. 🤩

If Fall 2024 is looking for two spokespeople... 🍂😍
