There's absolutely nothing sweeter than all the little magical details of your sweet baby 🤍

Hope you all had a magical Christmas! These days in between Christmas and New Years are just the quiet, slow days that we need this time of year.

Comfy cozy vibes like this are the ONLY acceptable ones this week

Wishing you all the coziest and merriest Christmas with your loved ones!

Hey, mama! 🥹 There's nothing like those first couple of months when your baby starts to really look back at you the same way you're looking at them 🖤

Things are winding down for the Holidays around here and we are looking forward to doing a lot of THIS over the next couple of weeks!

Wishing you a happy, healthy and restful Thanksgiving! We have had a busy busy fall photo season and are looking forward to a few days of rest. 🖤

We have just a couple spots left for Holiday Petite Sessions- and this is my last family photo availability for the year! Snag your spot through the link in my bio asap!

Some spooky vibes for your Halloween night!
May your evening be full of candy that has suddenly gone missing from your kids' candy bags 😉

The simple truth is that your baby’s sibling will likely steal the show.

It’s just their nature.

My recommendation is to roll with it, allow your older child to show off their personality, and most importantly, don’t force anything.

💫 Magic happens in the chaos.

Trust me!

My number one tip for family photos is, and always has been, to adjust expectations.

Newborns are unpredictable, siblings add an extra level of chaos, and all in all, reality rarely matches the perfection we envision.

Embrace the chaos and let me find the beauty in it. You’ll find your portrait session is more enjoyable, and the photos always turn out more genuine.

Had this sweet little one and her sweet family in the studio a little while ago. I have photographed her family since her big sis was born 🥹

Let them eat cake. 🧁

There IS a way to do a cake smash session that feels authentic instead of cheesy. My cake smash sessions usually include the birthday bebe, a tasty treat, and wildly crazy and amazing expressions/moments.

Simple, pure, tasty fun at it’s best.

(Our 20 minute studio petite is the perfect session if you’re just looking to capture baby for their big milestone. Available to reserve directly online via our link in profile.)

Keeping your little one snug as a bug is the key to smooth newborn photos! Cozy baby = happy baby.

“When you're ready to invest in high end photography for your home, or family portraits to capture a special phase in your life, there is no one better at getting those shots than Michelle. As a mom herself, Michelle totally understands the work that comes with getting kids dressed, to the location, and in front of the camera. She also knows just how to charm them with music and cute props so that even the most attached toddlers feel comfortable.

I'm always amazed at the lux, high end products that come out of the shoots because they are SO fun and laid back in the moment! There is zero stuffiness or judgement at any point in the process.

My favorite thing is that you really feel like you are talking to a friend you've known for years when you're in the studio with Michelle. We will absolutely return for more photos in the future.”

Photos to match any style...
I love chances to depart from a more traditional session style- these moodier images fit Meredith & Drew's vision best, and I love how they turned out!

I couldn’t have a series of posts celebrating Dads without including Brian. Happy Father’s Day!

When I asked him what his best/favorite moment/memory of being a parent so far was, he said:

“The most-recent "best" memory becomes the new favorite, until the next "best" memory comes along days or weeks later, so it's always changing! I have to say, the combination of the completely unsolicited hug and "I love you, Daddy" will never get old. It happens *just* often enough, you know? Those truly invaluable, sentimental milestone-moments happen so frequently these first years, it's impossible to pick just one favorite. Oh, who am I kidding - it was getting to share the original Star Wars trilogy with her! And I successfully kept "the reveal" a secret from her for 6 years, and was able to capture her genuine surprise on video! But if my wife asks, my favorite memory was having Eva introduced to me as "Dad" (of course).”

Celebrating Dad! 🖤

Garry told us the biggest challenge he feels he’s faced so far as a parent and how it has changed his perspective on parenting:

“I’m fiercely independent and have all the hobbies, so I really struggled with the loss of my personal time at first. Especially before Emmy became interactive and developed a clear personality. But now that she’s a character, I value our time together more than anything. I never expected to choose spending time with a toddler over the things I was so enamored with before. There’s something really primal and satisfying about the relationship I share with my daughter that I couldn’t have imagined before.”
