My ‘job’ is the best. I got to snuggle this sweet newborn recently. He was a dream!! He has the sweetest big sister, who you can tell, is completely smitten with him. She loved to hold him, and was super excited to tell me all about him. I did a fall mini-session last year with […]

Supporting small business is as important as ever right now. In the midst of COVID-19, more and more businesses are closing their doors. It’s heartbreaking.

A Wedding Unplugged is my new favorite thing! I am all about being present and enjoying the moment! I got married in 2007, and smart phones were not invented yet (promise I’m not that old).
