Baby Colin

Welcome to the family Colin Richard! This family was waiting to be surprised to see if they would be adding another brother or a sister to the family, and Colin made 3 boys! Whoa! Kyle is my older brother, and he grew up with 2 boys directly above him in our family, so I have […]
Henry turns 1

A while ago I wrote a blog post about why I chose to be a lifetime photographer and why I think finding a lifetime photographer is important for your family. If you missed it you can check it out here. This family right here is a perfect reason why I love getting the chance to […]
Cole Family

Sometimes when I take a look at my calendar for the month or week, I am excited for a shoot simply because I get to hang out with a family. Yes, I will get to photograph which I always love, but I also get to know a family better that I may not spend much […]
Baligian Family

I have such a special place in my heart for big families. I know they aren’t for everyone. My husband comes from a family of two kids and swears it was the best childhood ever, but when you come from a big family you can’t help but love the chaos. Sometimes I even miss the […]
Emma turns 2

Happy 2nd birthday to you, Miss Emma! I met Emma and her family last fall for their first family shoot and was so excited when they contacted me to photograph Emma for her second birthday. They are one of those families that I could spend an entire afternoon with, and my time with them feels […]
Halberg Family

It is such an honor to photograph extended families. Over the holidays I was contacted by a whole bunch of families to see if I could photograph their whole gang while everyone was in town celebrating together. I think it is so important that these families make it a priority to take time out of […]
Miller Family

If you can’t tell, this guy is my big brother. Which means I am lucky enough to call these gorgeous humans my family. Every year I get to photograph their family at a new location. This year when Amy and I chatted about their shoot she let me know that she was specifically eyeing a […]
Baby Luke

Oh you guys, can we please take a minute to talk about how cute big siblings are with their newborn baby brother or sister. Yes, I will be totally honest that when parents e-mail me saying they would like to get some photographs done with their 1 week old and 2 year old a slight […]
Wilson Family

I just adore the Wilson Family. Nikki & Jake are another pair of Albion grads- I know they show up all over this blog! Ted and Jake were in the same fraternity and Nikki and I were in the same sorority, and after Nikki graduated she came back to help coach the Albion volleyball team […]
Barlage Family

I met with the Barlage family on a crisp morning in November at Kensington Park. Jess and I grew up playing sports together and it was so fun to catch up with her and her family. Through this job I get to see so many people that I otherwise may not have the chance to […]
