Hello, sweetness.

I just love seeing how tiny a newborn baby is when being held.

The kitchen might not be the first go-to spot in people’s minds for pictures, but I feel like it captures them as a family right in this moment with a pot in the drying rack and sonogram pictures stuck to the fridge. Real life pictures sometimes capture the strongest memories.

The beauty of a lifestyle session is that we are at the comfort of your home. Cat snuggles are also the best.
