First 2024 Senior to kick off my fall season! 

We took pictures until it rained ... and then took some more! :)

We embraced the enchanted forest vibes for Sam and Emma's "bump" session. 

Sam and I grew up with this in our backyard. A tree-covered meadow that holds special memories for our mom when she was pregnant with Sam. So it feels maybe a little extra magical to have a full circle moment to take photos of Sam and Emma's pregnancy there, too. 

Only a few more weeks until we meet this little one, and I could not be more excited! <3

Holy wow, guys! I am officially all booked for the remainder of September, and only have one full session slot left in October. I still have a handful of mini-sessions in September and October, and a few full sessions in early November if you still want to get on my fall calendar and weren’t able to snag a session yet.

To those of you who are already on my calendar for the next couple of months - I’m so excited! I wasn’t able to do fall sessions last year (for good reason - I had my son, Elliott!), so I’m making up for it this year! Can’t wait to see all y’all!

A day full of so many thoughtful elements, moody colors, the coolest friends and family, a full dance floor, and two people who love each other very much. Thanks for having me along on your big day, guys! You're married!!

🤍 Graisen & Tyler 🤍

It was a joy to celebrate with you guys on your wedding day!

Sunshine, cute pups, a field of flowers, and two people in love. What more could you ask for?

The ultimate question: black and white or color?!

Nothing quite like that sister sister bond 🤍 

Alternative caption by my husband: "Sometimes you just need a good hug." Also true!

When literally the first shot out of your camera is golden, you know it's going to be a good session. They were all excited giggles and happy feet when looking at each other or sitting next to each other. I think I said "CUTE!" at least ten million times during their session. So looking forward to their wedding next month!

Do you have littles coming to your session? Here are a few tips to make it as easy as possible for everyone!

🤍 Bring a small toy you know catches their attention! The photographer can hold it for some of the shots to get them to look near the lens!

🤍 Choose a location that is fun for them as well. Maybe one with a playground nearby! Sometimes it helps to get wiggles out before, after, and sometimes in the middle of the session! Sitting or standing still for an hour (or, let's be honest, five minutes!) is hard!

🤍 And, trust the process. Know that you're in a stage of life where your kiddo might refuse to look at the camera the entire session, and that's okay! Embrace the fact you'll get tons of great candid shots and show them things you see, make funny noises to get them to giggle, and give them all the goofy kisses and hugs. Plan to have so much fun with them that they don't even notice it's a photoshoot!

This is your weekly reminder that my fall schedule is filling up fast! Shoot me a note now if you were hoping for a fall session in September or October before my books are totally full. There are still plenty of fall mini-sessions available, too! (Check those out at 🍂 the link in bio 🍂)

Can you FEEL the joy they have around each other!?

👏 Bring 👏 your 👏 pups 👏 to 👏 your 👏 session 👏

Please and thank you.

More sessions like this.

Even though this photo was taken two years ago (how have two years flown by?!) I still look at photos from this session and smile every time. 

Why is it still one of my favorite sessions of all time? The family came in expecting nothing except to have a good time together. They were relaxed (which, in turn, helped the kiddos relax). And they trusted me to document the interactions as they happened.

It felt like a photo documentary of their moment in life. It was genuine. There was love. It was fun. All the makings of a perfect session.

The three C's of your photo session: cheerful, classic, cherished.

My hope for each of your sessions is that you love your photos for years and years to come (and that we have a blast taking them!)

There's something about August. I'm still clinging to the warm weather (I'm a summer lover through and through!) But I'll admit, I am a little excited about fall this year.

There's still time to grab photos with summer blooms this year. That being said, my list of available session dates is growing smaller and smaller by the day, so if you're interested in a late summer or fall session, reach out to me soon! I also have a handful of fall mini-sessions I've thrown on the calendar (head to my link in bio for more info!)

Hi friends! It's been a while since I've shown my face around here. I thought I'd pop in and say, "Hey!" 👋

It's been both a slow and busy summer.
Slow in the sense that I've not had as many sessions over the last month or so. And busy in the sense that I've taken that extra time for tons of other summery things, like traveling (to DC!), running a week of summer camp with the coolest high school girls, and spending all the time with my little family.

This fall is already gearing up to be a busy one, so I'm thankful for the breather that this summer has been. I'm planning a few fall mini-session days, so keep your eyes open for that announcement in the next day or so! I am so pumped for all the fun sessions I have booked in the next few months - and can't wait for the fall colors (even more since I wasn't able to do sessions last fall 🤰🤱). Y'all are awesome! See you soon!

Emma & Chris were the actual cutest at their engagement session this weekend. 💕

I love when people are up for exploring new places with me! Caroline was so sweet as we took a few updated headshots and wandered around the cutest little garden!

Meet Emily. She is full of sunshine.

There are always a few sessions each year that mean the world to me. This is one of them. I met Emily at camp when she was in 6th grade... and the growth I've seen in her keeps astounding me year after year. It has been a joy getting to watch her turn into the young lady she is today. (Also, I definitely ~didn't~ cry at her session because we had several moments where we said, "Imagine telling 6th-grade Emily about that!")

I love you! Happy graduation, sweet girl! 🤍

"Look at the person who _______" never fails to get the best laughs!

April showers bring May flowers 🌼 ... and also soggy flower fields.

We squished through the field to get to these cute lil spring blooms, and it was so worth it!

One of my greatest joys as a photographer is when I can be along for big life moments of the people I love the most. So excited for Sam and Emma and their new adventure. 🤍

I take pictures with high school seniors often but rarely get to snap photos of college grads. Why not celebrate that, though?! You've worked just as hard (if not harder!) It was so cool getting together with Claire again to take a few cap and gown photos.

It was fun being back at my old stomping grounds. I don't think I've been on campus in at least 7 years, but I still knew my way around like the back of my hand, even with all the new buildings!

First senior session of the year! We got a gorgeous sunny day - a nice break in the week of rain here - and wandered around Miamisburg. It was so nice to meet you and your sisters, @ayleen.duenas !

🤍 Stand side by side & you'll make it. She's the best thing that you'll ever have. She'll love you if you love her like that. 🤍

When it comes to love, when you know, you know. Hannah & Noah, surrounded by people who love them very, very much, tied the knot this week. It was the sweetest, most God-filled day. And it was a joy to celebrate with them and document their love.

Everyone, meet the new Mr. & Mrs. Ham! 

@hannah_mae_ham

Safe to say that Claire ROCKED her session.
