Documenting pre-baby lifestyle sessions for both expecting couples and expanding families is something I’ve done quite a bit more of lately, and I truly love the meaning and authenticity behind the moments we capture in these shoots.

Treasured occurrences to tragic ones, it’s sometimes so easy to forget that life can be turned upside down in the blink of an eye.

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the cutest little blonde baby model I ever did see. I’m so grateful to have watched each era of Amanda and Andrew’s life unfold over the past few years. I met the both of them in college and have watched their relationship evolve from the first dates […]
