Yesterday, he turned nine on the 9th, which is kind of a big deal since it's the "golden," birthday.  I was able to sneak him away from his Nintendo Switch long enough to snap a few birthday pics (and I will do this every. single. year. as long as he begrudgingly agre...

So, this is what happens when you invite a photographer over to your house for a lifestyle session, and then when she asks to see the nursery, they take you upstairs to this gorgeous, whimsical, Peter-Pan inspired room.  

(Please excuse me while I go retrieve my ja...

Spending time with this family is always so fun and, needless to say, they make my "job" easy- even with three kiddos!  They're truly some of the most kind and genuine people, and I'm so grateful for each opportunity I've gotten to work with them!  
 

On one particular Tuesday afternoon, the kids and I decided to walk one block behind our house to my favorite row of trees on Wilmington. During peak week, it's not unusual to see cars randomly pull over for people to hop out and take pictures, or even for the neighb...

I've been taking pictures for this beautiful little family since Beatrice ("Bea") was only a few days old!  Love being able to pick up where we left off from the year before and get to watch how these kiddos grow.  <3. This girl is the perfect combination of sweetness...

"Wait, was it on purpose?"  Ella asked me on the two minute drive to school yesterday. 

I wish it had been another instance of Milo doing something annoying to Olive, when Ella would jump in immediately as the mediator. ("Purpose" and "accident" are words that are frequ...

What color shower caddy do you want?"  I heard her ask from the next aisle over in Target.  I should have been crossing off items on the back-to-school shopping list, but instead, I'd gotten distracted with choosing an area rug for Ella's newly made-over tween room....

I met this beautiful family about two and a half years ago when they had their first baby girl, Delaney.  (Below is my favorite picture from her newborn session, and I loved seeing it hanging on their upstairs wall when I came back last weekend! <3 )...
