One of the questions I get asked most often by new parents is whether they should choose an in-home newborn session or a studio newborn session. The truth is, there isn’t a right or wrong answer. I tell people to choose the one that best fits your family, your style, and the memories you want…
“Absolutely marvelous,” he said, licking Nutella off his fingers. Lucas and I were talking about his homeschooling days, when I used to take him to coffee shops to study. There was a little coffee shop where he adored the sweet Belgian waffles, and as we reminisced, I asked him if he’d like to spend another…
I meant to post this after the Dodgers won the World Series with the caption: sometimes you get TWO. Back to back, baby! Yay, yay, yay, yay, yay. Still not over it. And I’m still not over this adorable session. Fraternal twins are so special to me. My husband is a fraternal twin and they…
I’ve brought back the blog. Yup. the good ol’ fashioned WordPress blog. It’s what I know. It’s what I love. Instagram feeds are fine but it’s not how I want to share my images. Of course, I still will share on Instagram, but to see more of my work, it’ll be here. I adore this…

I have a love-hate relationship with islands.Not the beachy kind. The ones in kitchens. The ones that collect all sorts of stuff on top of them and never actually look clean. My friend and I went on a rant about them this morning. “We are the finders of the homes of the things, and I…
There was a season in my life when I stopped sharing online. Those years were brutal. I was treading water, trying to find my footing, and all that internal work left me with no desire to create or connect with my words. Sharing online is tricky enough as it is. Part of me will always…
The other day, my daughter Blue and I were talking about a possible obstacle when I shrugged and said, “It’s whatever at this point. I’m not worried about it. We’ve been through worse. We’re pretty sturdy.” She smiled, genuine and proud. “We are quite sturdy as a family. I love our family, actually.” (Melt me.)…
Saturday morning, I woke up and walked straight up to this photo and spoke to it. “Did you see that game, Uncle Issac? Did you see that game?!” I was giddy and beaming over Game 1 of the World Series. It was pure magic from the baseball gods and so I made a beeline to…
