Hats off to Lauren for earning her Associates degree in Visual Arts! She has so much to be proud of, she was quite decorated with honors, and I know she has a bright future ahead! We had a very gloomy, rainy day, but it didn't matter because she truly glowed with pride. Wishing her so much happiness and success in life ♡

​This cutie pie celebrated her 2nd birthday this week! She was just as hilarious as she was cute ♡ This age is so precious and fleeting and I loved being able to capture Miss Ivy's 'essence'! That is what photography is all about! 

Meet my sweet newborn niece Stella! She arrived just before Christmas, a few weeks ahead of schedule, and she is just the most precious peanut! Check out those natural blonde highlights too...anyone else jealous? My nephew, Archer, is already a great big brother ♡

Allison was absolutely radiant against the rosy shoreline skies...I cannot wait to do her newborn session in a couple of weeks! 

One of my very favorite families, now in my 8th year of capturing memories for them! I just love watching them grow and mature behind my lens ♡

I have known Madi since before she was born, and she was the cutest little flower girl at our wedding ♡ And now *blink* she's unbelievably entering her senior year of high school! She has grown into a stunningly beautiful young woman, full of so much talent and poise, and I was honored to capture these photos for her! Love you Madi & fam ♡

In between these adventurous kiddos finding lots of fun stuff to climb during our session, we got lots of smiles, hugs, and moments to soak in the beauty of this breathtaking state park ♡

This family brought IT!  I adored their stunning choice of outfits with a combo of rich, autumn tones, soft neutrals and  eye-catching textures and patterns.  So pretty!  And pretty doesn't even begin to describe these gorgeous girls...they were so full of personality too and it really shone through the lens, I'm in love with these images! ♡

Lucky number SEVEN!  I had the honor of capturing this gorgeous family for the seventh year in a row, I say this each year, but I have honestly loved documenting them each fall and seeing how much they change and grow.  I truly look forward to their session every year, we had a lot of laughs (and a few tears) at this one but it was without a doubt memorable ♡

If I could describe little Oliver in just one word, it would have to be...delicious!  He was everything and more that I love about newborns...sweet as can be, cute as a button, and oh so perfectly plump, and his lil' belly was just soooo squish-able too ♡  His mom, dad, and big sis Audrey are truly blessed!

Meet Olivia, 10  days new.  She was so pretty in pink accents and ivory lace!  I took her brother Grayson's newborn photos almost 3 years ago and it's always such an honor to photograph siblings ♡

I recently had the honor of capturing this beautiful extended family at Rocky Neck State Park.  I absolutely loved the beach glass tones they chose to wear, they really suited the setting perfectly! ♡

Meet Clare, 9 days new!  She is without a doubt the epitome of sugar and spice and everything nice...such a beautiful and sweet little one.  It was touching to watch her daddy play his guitar for her, she was literally mesmerized by the music, I'm so honored to have been able to capture such a special moment ♡

Little Ethan is without a doubt a big blessing and a dream come true for his parents.   Words cannot express how thrilled I am for my good friend, Melissa, to realize her dream of becoming a mother.  She is already an amazing mom - a total natural - and Ethan is SO incredibly loved.  You cannot help but fall in love with him - he was an absolute sweetheart and I can't wait to share more photos as he grows! ♡ 

Who says you can't hit the beach in the fall?  Hole-in-the-Wall Beach was the perfect mix of autumn foliage and stunning water views.  I had so much fun capturing this insanely adorable family!  And I am obsessed with the golden hour light we got at the end ♡
