There’s something incredibly special about photographing a family more than once — especially when you get to witness the transition from anticipation to arrival. This sweet family first came into my studio for their maternity session, and getting to welcome them back again — this time with their newborn in their arms — was such a full-circle moment. From glowing mama to brand-new baby, this session felt like the perfect continuation of their story.

We caught this session in October, so we had a gorgeous fresh layer of snow to work with. Momma wore two of my dresses from Sew Trendy Accessories for this session, and she looked AMAZING! I’m in love with this whole session. “V” Maternity!

Let’s talk about lighting! Golden Hour Sessions When you contact me to schedule sessions, I will always try to talk to you into going as late as possible for the best and most flattering lighting.

With the recent snow and the threat of freezing rain tomorrow afternoon, I am seriously missing fall sessions. We managed to get this family’s maternity session in at just the right time of fall, and the exact right time of day as well. If you know Alaska, you know that fall can be rough with […]

We ran out of time to get together to try dresses on, so I brought this beautiful sage green dress from Sew Trendy Accessories and hoped it would […]

I think we all know how much I love maternity sessions at this point, am I right? I love this session for a couple reasons. 1. Mom is GORGEOUS and 2. They brought their dogs. I love dogs, but I’m totally allergic, so the only time I get to enjoy them is outdoors, and then […]

It’s no secret that I love maternity sessions. This one was so much fun! One of my very favorite locations, and mom to be looked gorgeous in her maternity dresses. (Maternity dresses are available for all my maternity sessions, these two dresses in particular are both from Sew Trendy Accessories.) Also, if you are looking […]

I love this session! We were coming up on summer here, so we still have a bit of breakup snow, BUT we hadn’t lost our ability to shoot at my favorite time of day, during golden hour. The lighting in these photos are my favorite. Warm, and provides some depth to the photos without being […]
