These are a few of my FAAAVORITE things… my Evie girl, and tulip fields! Our girl is 6 months old and sitting up like a big kid these days. She’s got the cutest two tiny teeth you’ve ever seen, is starting to babble even more, and still loves to put everything in her mouth… including tulips ;)

19 years of knowing Ryan and Shannon. College, serving in ministry together, and lots of portrait sessions together over the years… but this one is hands down my favorite one yet! The newest addition to their family surprised everyone, and stole their hearts at the exact same time.

There’s something uniquely sweet about photographing a brand new baby in the space that was designed for them. It doesn’t always work out to do so for several reasons, with natural light in the room being one of the biggest factors, but when we can, it always results in magic! I loved how bright and simple Kit’s room was, and it made for the perfect backdrop for her first portraits.

I’ve waited a long time to meet you, sweet boy! I had the joy of first meeting R+D so many years ago when I got to photograph their beautiful Shadow Creek Wedding, and since then I’ve had them in front of my camera every fall for updated portraits together, so this one was extra special for me getting to photograph them as a family of THREE!

Get ready to see a LOT of this girl on this site, I am so excited to introduce you to my most precious neiece Evelyn. Our Evie girl has been the biggest ray of sunshine for our family, and has (literally) all of us wrapped around her tiny finger. She’s an expert at blowing bubbles and thinks her toes are just the coolest. We’re all pretty smitten with our girl, and she’s growing WAY too fast for her Aunt Jessie’s liking. We get to have a date every Wednesday, and so far at least, she tolerates me pulling out the camera like a pro :)
