If there’s one thing my infertility has taught me…women need each other. We desperately need cheerleaders in our corner. But what happens when a women you know and love gets the very thing you desire?  Our attitudes are like muscles. The more you train the stronger you become. And sometimes you will be surprised at […]

A dear client sent me this photo from her session and it made me sob. The wait for our adoption has felt endless this week. To be honest, having no timeframe for a person who loves to plan feels grueling. But when I saw this moment captured it affirmed to me that my job matters. […]

I have always been fascinated by families. Where you grew up and with who forms and shapes us in so many different dynamics. It’s beautiful really, that the humans around us make us into who we are as adults. I grew up surrounded by sisters living on a dairy farm. We would disappear for hours […]

The Brandt family has been dear friends of ours ever since we moved to DC. They have been such an encouragement to us during our adoption journey. They are so invested in their community and the church abroad. Caleb is a senior this year and Timothy isn’t far behind. Somehow time continues to fly. We […]

This Easter season felt so redemptive for me in many ways. We got to see my family for the first holiday in over a year. But the most exciting part was announcing our adoption process. Daniel and I dreamt of having a family for years and releasing that into the world made it feel “real” […]

We met early at the MLK Memorial as the sun was coming up. We met each other through our mutual friend’s adoption. I love when beautiful events in life bring beautiful people into our lives. Their children were the sweetest and so easy in front of the camera. Enjoy their sunny fall session at the […]

This little man can light up a room He was so cheerful and willing to do whatever we asked him. With a little extra coaxing and care, you can truly win every child over. They have such willing hearts and love pleasing adults in their life, we just need to take the time and gain […]

I grew up with a sister who had severe epilepsy. Knowing what a child goes through with any type of health issues makes me want to offer the most stress-free experience with my clients who may have children-no matter what the it is. I recently have photographed several adoptions and the children needed a little […]

Last year I planned my first ever ladies event. It was something I had dreamt about for years. It was directed to ladies who struggle with infertility as a way to encourage, give insight and help them not to feel so alone. My goal was for woman to gather in a beautiful place to share their […]

This family is incredible. They love the Lord, have two sweet sons through adoption, and are so invested in their community. Gretchen was one of the first woman who reached out to me when I first moved to DC. The gift of friendship is so wonderful….especially when you are in a new city and feel […]
