This little cutie was my first client to come to my new studio space since the renovation. I think he was the perfect little guest to christen my space. He was so happy and smiley and so full of love! I love that his beautiful mama was willing to jump in some shots with him too. I mean, who can resist that sweet soft baby squish?!

The excitement of my new studio space went beyond me and to my children as well. And when mom is a photographer, and your kids BEG you to take their pictures in the ‘fun new space’ you try not to scream with excitement and oblige. The excitement may only last minutes, and they may only cooperate if you let them do what they want to do, but as a mom with kids who are sick of having the camera pointing at them constantly, you take what you can get! Plus, I had to take the studio for a test run before I had clients down there ;-P These are my three busy, beautiful, silly little girls. 10 months, 23 months and 5 1/2 years old. They make me the luckiest girl in the world. <3
9/52-New Beginnings New beginnings invigorate me. A fresh start, a new outlook, the possibility of so many amazing outcomes. This theme had me thinking about what to photograph and it brought me to well, me. I’m done growing babies. I grew three inside of me; and for the first time, I understood that my worth was not correlated with my size. My whole life I have held onto fat as an adjective. I’ve hid, overshadowed myself, and overachieved to prove my value. And then I had three babies and my value to them would have existed regardless of any outward physical flaw. A love that was just simply true.
10/52-Portrait It’s been a busy week, and I didn’t get out of the house without kids to allow me the flexibility to approach a stranger for a portrait as was suggested. I wanted to, but it didn’t happen.
11/52-Inbetween In-between the seasons when boots are required but so is fresh air. Their little legs fit so perfectly together between each other through the hole in the swing that sways them and twirls them between screams of adrenaline and joy. The yell of “faster mom!” in-between the laughter and excitement of childhood that transports me to a place somewhere in-between my own youthful moments on the playground and the blissful moments I had driving around with my windows down listening to music daydreaming about what life would be like when I would finally be a mom as a young twenty-something. It’s those in-between moments that make the now and then so worth living.
12/52-Blank Space
If you follow any of my social media accounts, you are probably sick of hearing about my new studio. I just can’t help it, I’m so excited I have to share the heck out of it! Upon the arrival of my third baby, we quickly realized that our three bedroom, no playroom house was becoming a bit too cramped for us. In other words–toys began to take over our lives. I’m not the cleanest or neatest person you’ll ever meet, but clutter in my living space is enough to put me in a crazy house. After weighing all of our options, we decided we loved our location too much to move and decided to invest in our house to make it more functional for our current family situation. We completely gutted our lower level and made a new master bedroom space and expanded my studio space threefold. It has been a labor of love and I am so excited to finally be able to start working in the space. If you were one of the ‘lucky ones’ to have experienced my first studio space, you will be floored by the changes made to accommodate this new space. It is a much more beautiful, comfortable, and functional space. It will allow me to take more chances and experiment with more ideas and hopefully produce even more beautiful images for everyone. I have upgraded nearly everything in the space to make my workflow for both newborns, babies, kiddos and families alike more effective. I currently have studio openings as early as mid-April, I hope to see you soon!
I’m so excited to have all my props and goodies all in the same spot finally! Everything has a place, no more shoving things here and there 🙂
I have a little refrigerator and coffee/snack bar now! Newborn sessions can be long, and I want your experience to be relaxing and comfortable. Have a drink and snack on me!
I have a beautiful full bathroom in the studio space for clients to use for outfit changes, showers, whatever you need! I also have a little corner of toys, puzzles, books and games for any kiddos that come over to my space.
Many of my spaces have been designed to be used in multiple ways. The couch can turn into a bed. I have curtains suspended from the ceiling by my large window to diffuse light, but also, to be used for a little change-up in portraits.
