Dear Dorothy (aka Dottie, Dordor, Dory, Dot, Do-da, sissy, sweet honey, babycakes, and scrappy),To know you is to love you <3 You are vibrant and a gift in every way… from your expressions to your personality your life reflects your name. I am so honored to have gotten to know you in all your versions […]
Family photos don’t need to feel like a performance. They don’t need to be perfect. And they definitely don’t need to involve bribery, threats, or whispered panic in the car on the way there. The goal is simple: help everyone arrive feeling calm, connected, and themselves. When kids feel safe and parents feel grounded, the […]
This month was full for missy girl. The kind of full that sneaks up on you and suddenly you realize you’re standing right on the edge of something big. Somehow, we are only one month away from Dorothy’s first birthday. This month we celebrated Dottie’s first Christmas. Her first New Year. The quiet closing of […]
The Eyers have been some of my longest clients, and families like theirs are the quiet heartbeat of why I do this work. I took Lyla and Liam’s Christmas photos when they were just tiny toddlers with rosy cheeks and that squirmy, wonder filled way of moving through the world that little kids embrace whole […]
Every day, you’re changing, sometimes I wish it wasn’t trueHearts are made for giving, I’ve given mine to you. If you ever need to feel sentimental, JJ Heller songs will get the job done! I’ve found myself humming this line from ‘Hand to Hold’ recently as it seems like every time I get Dottie up […]
Dottie girl is so much fun! Every month we marvel at how much she grows and learns. While I am still way behind in blogging, I’ve been keeping up with monthly photos and we all love to look back at the months and see how she changes. Felix is still a huge photoshoot day helper […]
Once again I am behind in posting… I’ve spent the last several nights working through a huge backlog of October sessions but I am taking tonight to post Miss Dottie’s 8 month photos from almost a month ago! I forgot how active and fast babies get once they figure out crawling and figure it out […]
Felix Wilder is four years old! Over the weekend we got to celebrate this fun loving, goofy boy in so many ways! From spending time with each of his grandparents to playing at several new parks and enjoying the 80 degree weather, we soaked up the sunshine and our sunshine boy. This year Felix made […]
I say it every month, but we truly cannot get enough of Miss Dot! Her jubilant joy and her excitement for life is just so incredible to witness. She is sitting confidently this month and slowly but surely crawling and getting across the floor to get into things (bookshelves, brother’s toys, etc). Each month is […]
I posted last week about the joint photo session that Samantha and I plan every year for our families, and this week Preston sent our edited photos over! I’ve looked through these dozens of times and I’ve already printed some for our walls, but I am still getting choked up looking through this post. Seeing […]
