I have known Nolan’s mom, Hailie, for a few years now. Her brother is married to my cousin and I have been lucky enough to be present all three births for that part of the family. So I was beyond excited when Hailie wanted me at Nolan’s birth. As a photographer, it is so wonderful to know you are walking into a place where they make you feel like you are part of the family. The day was long for Hailie. Nolan is her first baby and than comes with so many uncertainties. You never know what labor is going to actually feel like, how long it will last, or what to expect for any piece of it. She was ..read more

Haylen's birth had been anticipated for a very long time. When I first met Tasha it was evident that she couldn't wait to be a mom. It was a long journey to getting pregnant and she and her husband, Chris, were both ecstatic to be expecting a baby. The day we knew she was finally coming was exciting. I know I say how much I love spending time with all of the families I photograph but I can't say enough about how kind and sweet this family was to me. They welcomed me into their space and made me one of them. It was an incredible day witnessing this sweet girl make her entrance. I had a hard tim ..read more

Birth is so unpredictable. And sometimes very fast. This was the case for Parker's birth. I walked into the house about 15 minutes after he had been born. We were all in shock at exactly how fast it went! This little boy was born on a beautiful February day. It was around 60 degrees outside and sunny. He had 3 older brothers waiting to meet him. It was such a special day. I enjoyed so much working with this family. They were so welcoming and honestly, just a joy.  ..read more

When I got a text message last May asking if I had any births on the calendar for the end of January I was immediately excited. Not only was the text from my cousin but this would be the third baby I would have the chance to photograph for her. Another fun fact about this family is that baby Jack shares a birthday with his mama! I love photographing this sweet family and all 3 of their boys!   ..read more

When you plan a maternity session for January you plan to be cold. Thankfully we found the one warm day in January for this one! Aside from the wind, it was a beautiful afternoon for pictures. More beautiful than the January weather though is this mama. She is carrying her little girl so gracefully and beautifully. The next time I see them will be to meet this sweet baby girl!   ..read more

I'm following up baby Jake's birth with his sweet newborn photos. My favorite part about a newborn shoot is getting to snuggle with a fresh new baby! Isn't he just so handsome??   ..read more

I have known Jacob's parents for several years. His dad was a groomsman in our wedding! I was so excited that it was going to work for me to be able to drive down for his birth. They live about 2 hours away and I was so nervous that I might miss it. As soon as we knew that things were starting I went ahead and headed their way. It was such a fun day. There were grandmas, grandpas ,aunts, uncles, and cousins hanging out at the hospital. I love when babies are welcomed by a big extended family. This was my last baby of 2017 and it was the perfect way to end the year.   ..read more

Miles' story is one that I don't think I will ever forget. The biggest reason being, he was born on Christmas Eve. Due to other health issues his mama was set to be induced. The evening she went in she had started running a fever. The induction was pushed back a few days to make sure everyone was perfectly healthy before meeting a new baby. This ended up meaning he would be born on Christmas Eve. The induction was started and things took off on their own. Progress was being made and it was pretty clear that Miles would be making his appearance sooner rather than later. Around the time that we ..read more

About 24 hours after Ruger was born, I headed back up to the hospital. Big brother was there and he was so happy to be back with his mama! It is always so amazing to me how different babies look after just 24 hours. This boy had a sweet head full of hair and was so content the whole time I was there.  ..read more

Ruger made his entrance in a fast and furious way! He kept us all guessing in the weeks leading up to his birth. He was head down, then breech, then head down again much to his mama's relief. The morning that I met Tyler and Kyl up at the hospital, we went in not sure which way he was going to be delivered. They had prepared to see a breech baby and since he had turned they went ahead with an induction. It did not take long at all for things to get rolling and within 4 hours Ruger was here! This mama labored hard but was well supported by Kyl. It really was so awesome to be in the room and wit ..read more
