Welcome to the blog that feels more like a scrapbook of my favorite memories.
Because when was the last time you said, "Let's take a picture to remember how little fun we are having."

I’m not gonna lie it feels like YEARS since we have had a camera in our hands! I guess that’s what happens when you have a baby and the days last forever but the time goes quick. Confusing I know, but all you parents get me…right? Thankfully this sunflower field session with my girl Zoee […]

This blog post is an exciting one!!! Throughout all the craziness of the last few months, I have been unable to shoot many portrait sessions. And it has been hard!
