I knocked on the Quiaoits door bright and early at 7am. Lucas is an early bird which worked out well because so am I. We had a very happy, kicky baby boy who…

And can I just say that she is so lucky to have a big brother like her Ryan. He’s 9, but when I asked him to play with his sister for a few photos, he said, “Oh, she LOVES playing tea party!” He grabs her purple

Since we read left to right (at least in most languages) our eyes follow the same pattern when “reading” a photo. To make an image that is most interesting to read, place your subject…

I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was giddy about the photos from the Purdy’s National Mall session earlier this month! They met me for sunrise and we pretty much…

The Rosenofs were one of my clients forced to reschedule during my Coronavirus business closure. We had originally planned a session to celebrate little Aviva’s 1st birthday. Unfortunately, COVID-19 had other plans… We finally ended up rescheduling over two months later and they opted for…

While this may seem like a minor thing to be worried about in your photos, paying attention to it can really improve the way the eye perceives an image. When you see a limb…

My top placing photo was the one above of my twins and our pup watching the trash truck out our front door during our first try at potty training this January. This photo placed 660th of 24,869 photos in the Lifestyle category. That is top 2%.

The Orth twins have finished their first trip around the sun!! Kennedy and Reagan’s mama chose a twinkle twinkle little star theme for the final session of their watch-me-grow package and the results are so adorable!

As I was leaving at the end of their session, mom made a comment about having been adopted later in her childhood (age 12) and that family photos of her kids are very important to her since she doesn’t have any from when she was their age. This comment definitely stayed with me as I edited their images this week…

This week’s photo tip is a really simple photo fix that is often overlooked. It can really make the difference between a photo that is polished and one that looks like a quick snapshot. The tip is this…

You may remember their sneak peek from earlier this month, but it’s time for the full show with their completed film and gallery! Please have a look at the adorable mini film and highlight images from the Ouart’s session…

This mama-to-be was FIVE years old when I started dating my husband back in the day and now she and her awesome husband are about to be parents. It’s still hard to believe sometimes that she’s not that little girl crashing me and Bill’s dates anymore!

This morning, I met the lovely Purdys here for their fourth family session with me! I have loved watching their family of little ladies grow over the years and they always leave me belly laughing at some point during their sessions.

Their eldest daughter, Tova was the perfect little assistant. Checking the back of my camera to see how each image was turning out and asking what she should do for the next picture. I could have photographed her all day long (especially with those perfect, bouncy curls!!)

At the end of their session, Mom mentioned that they have chickens in their backyard, and I foolishly thought she meant toy chickens…Nope, real deal! I just had to let their session run over time to capture the kids with their backyard friends!

When taking photographs it’s easy to capture your subject’s face, get the smile and move on. But today’s Friday Photo Tip is about going one step further and trying a different angle…

As you may know, I recently went through a rebranding with ALP and transitioned away from studio portraiture to on-location storytelling photography. Well, this morning that transition came to a close with my very last studio newborn session with beautiful baby Rory…

On the day of the Melo’s session, Dad had to leave for a work trip an hour after we started, but I think we still managed plenty of fun time with them together and captured Lucien’s obvious love of his Daddy!
