Morning Friends! I wanted to share the most adorable family that enjoyed their first family photo session with yours truly! We had awesome chats together, baby Ben had me smitten with his blue eyes and contagious smiles. The light was golden sunshine perfection.

Hi Friends! As you all probably know, I’ve been quiet around here…gardening, reading, resting, cooking, mom’ing- and HEALING. More on that later…but, I’ve reduced my workload a ton in recent weeks and it has been immeasurably helpful to the soul to have time to relax and sit in our incredible garden. The Jani family featured […]

Happy Monday in January, my friends! I can’t believe this month is coming to end so rapidly. My youngest just asked me if it’s normal to keep accidentally writing 2022 when he dates his school work. Cute. The family featured in today’s entry holds a special place in my heart. They moved here from Seattle […]

There was SO much love in the air at this session. This family exudes all that your imagination can envision of family togetherness… JOY, gentleness, laughter, hugs, and tons of smiles.

I hope you are all enjoying the last days of this calendar year- make it count! If you’re like me, […]

Happy December, friends! I hope everyone is enjoying the most magical time of the year with loved ones, hot cocoa, and cozy (sherpa) blankets! We’ve been baking, listening to Dolly’s Christmas album, and decorating every room with cheer and sparkles. My daughter has been creating handmade Christmas treasures for our family in Canada and South […]

This lovely family braved a cold, overcast, and foggy morning. They trusted me with a wild notion… gloomy weather + family photo session can make for a gorgeous session! Sure enough, we created beautiful keepsake photos on this otherwise unpleasant (weather) weekday morning. To be fair, the Caytons are just adorable and made it flow […]
