Drawing in Light photography

I’ve been a professional photographer for over a decade.  I got my first DSLR about 12 years ago and instantly fell in love with photography.  I took that camera with me everywhere I went and when my own kids got tired of letting me take their pictures, I started taking pictures of my friend’s kids.  […]

What should I expect at the session? Newborn swaddled sessions usually last around an hour. When you get to my studio, I will get your little one swaddled and will take pictures with a variety of backgrounds and wrap colors and styles. I typically plan three different set-ups so you get a selection of unique […]

When you are *this* sweet, what better way to celebrate your first birthday than an Ice Cream Cake Smash Session?!? I was so excited to see this sweet girl again and she was every bit as sweet as her set-up! She was so full of personality and spunk – my favorite type of one year […]

Newborn Swaddled Sessions are a relatively new session option, and are quickly becoming some of my favorite sessions. You still get adorable newborn portraits with a little bit less of a time and financial commitment. Regular newborn sessions generally last two to three hours, but these swaddled sessions usually have you in and out of […]

I’ve known this family for several years and have been so lucky to have documented some big milestones for the kids. And when I found out they were adding another kiddo to the family, I was thrilled to be able to take newborn pictures for them again! I love when these kids come to visit […]

Sometimes cake smash sessions are very specifically themed. And others all we need is a color scheme to create a special celebration photo shoot for a newly one year old! This little guy’s mom had the balloon filled number one she wanted to incorporate into the set, so I took my inspiration from those colors […]

Not every cake smash session theme has to be super specific or personal. Sometimes when you have a fall birthday, the best theme is a seasonal one! I love everything about fall, so I was super excited to design this set for this sweet little guy. I filled his set with pumpkins and fall leaves […]

Every once in a while, I get a newborn in the studio and I am just floored at how pretty they are. My own babies were awkward little aliens when they were born. (Don’t worry, they are super adorable big kids now). But this little lady stole my heart with those cheeks and her delicate […]

Cake smash sessions are always so much fun to plan and shoot. One year olds are really starting to showcase their personalities and winning them over to get real smiles always feels like a huge accomplishment. I always start cake smash sessions with some more traditional type photos. Sometimes babies sit happily and others, like […]

I have photographed this family multiple times over the years. I love the four energetic daughters and I was thrilled when they contacted me about a newborn session for baby number 5! And surprise, surprise – after four girls they had a BOY! And what a perfect little guy he is! His big sisters were […]
