How to Get One Great Picture of Your Kids in Under 60 Seconds

Every mom has attempted “just one nice picture” only to end up with blurry chaos, someone crying, and a toddler who suddenly forgets how to stand upright.But here’s the good news: you don’t need a whole photoshoot to […]
Liana’s Back to School Session
My first ever Back to School “Who They Are Today” minis could not have gone better, and sweet Liana was a huge part of that. These sessions aren’t about stiff poses or forced school photo smiles. They’re about capturing who your child really is, right now — the treasures they carry everywhere, the books they […]
Robby’s Back to School Session
I am so beyond happy with how my very first Back to School “Who They Are Today” mini sessions turned out. Everyone told me when my kids were little that it goes fast — and wow, they weren’t kidding. You blink, and suddenly they aren’t crawling into bed with you after a nightmare, or begging […]
Be the Banks: A Photographer’s Letter to Moms Letting Go
As a photographer, I’ve met a lot of parents. Some hover nervously during sessions, some try to coax “real” smiles out of their kids with bribery or goofy noises. And some just watch—soaking it in, quietly stunned by how quickly their child is growing up (this goes for toddlers to the graduating teen.) But it […]

Embracing the Unexpected: Newborn Photography
As a professional photographer, I’ve often found myself in various niches, capturing moments with beautiful senior graduate girls to amazing families, even pet photography. Yet, there were always a few areas I always told myself I would steer clear of—newborn photography was one of those. “Never say never”… I’ve come to realize just how true […]

Bringing The Fun With Props
