This beautiful family came to me to get updated family portraits with their old man dog, Rueger. He was recently diagnosed with mouth cancer and didn’t have long to live. He was their first baby and a huge part of their family. They wanted time to stand still during this time of their lives, forever. […]

Not sure if you can get a much cuter family portrait! 🩵🩷🩷🩷🩷 The Murray family gets their pictures done every time a baby is ~ 3 months old. With the triple digits we decided the studio was the best option. Kept the littles contained, we kept sweating to a minimal and in and out in […]

The Fewkes family! I was so excited when they contacted me to capture their family again. It had been so long since the last time, it seemed! Some families, like the Fewkes, I know very well. I know the things they don’t like to do, or don’t like as a background, so we work together […]

But I promise that making time to update your family portraits is something you will never regret! Honestly every season is busy and every season is beautiful! What season can you see your […]

Fiona has grown up in front of my camera. But she still had to get persuaded into getting senior portraits. These kids keep us on our toes I tell ya! Fiona wasn’t interested in a lot of common local locations so I was racking my brain and came up with the old pen and she […]

I’m always a fan of updating family portraits during senior portraits, especially with my season seniors. It is so hard to get the family together after the kids start graduating…so hard! Trust me, I am living it! I also don’t need much time to fit in family portraits, I come with a plan and make […]

When the King and Queen of Country Swing are in front of my camera…magic happens! You can just FEEL their love for one another in these portraits. Grant and Shalee are pretty famous (see their TikTok, Insta & YouTube channel to name a few)! I had a wild idea for Pressly’s 18th birthday to throw […]
