I wanted to share a little behind the scenes of how I plan out my shots and why I do the things I do! I underexposed this shot on purpose so that I could play in Photoshop to get the effect I wanted! I had two assistants throw the dress and then I had to edit them out. Put the hands edits that I wanted and get it perfect!!!... When you hire a photographer, consider talent, creativity and the passion they put into your session!! It's all worth it if you pick the right one!!!

This day has been long coming!! I met Tania a few years ago when she had a unicorn that coincidently I needed badly...lol After a few days of unicorns and a beautiful summer getting to know each other, she showed up at one of our days and she was sporting a beautiful ring!! Some time went by and she approached me to be a part of so many big days in her life. I took her maternity images, Peyton was born and I have covered the first 9 months of her life and now the wedding!! We were all so excited!! I cannot wait for this wedding!! It will be a grand day for sure!

Thank you to Kristy from Kristy's Custom Cakes for the cake!!! Cooper came for newborn, 6 month and 1st year!! I love following these babes!!

Since opening the new studio, we have seen just boys!! So many boys!! LOL Here is a sneak at Mr. Carter!!

Another shout out to my amazing team. You give up weekends to make dreams come true for so many kids!!! Tania and Tucker are so important to me and my family!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! Dani and Lexi, this year was an adventure!! From running to avoid rain and saving set ups, you girls were imperative to this operation!!! To all my 2020 families, thank you for coming to meet Tucker and trusting me with such an experience!!! Thank you

A testimonial from a session the other day with a very large but awesome family!! Thank you Julie!! Hard to express how precious these pictures are to our family. We are large and it's not always easy to get us all sit down, but Nicole was patient and professional and managed to take so many beautiful pictures.She took her time and we never felt rushed. Very quick to respond when corresponding date/time , and very easy to work with. Highly recommend, she is amazing!... Julie Park

This little guy was the first newborn in the new studio!! What a treat!! Thank you to Kristina who operates Neptunes Halo . She made my rainbow hearts, and my new button up onesie.

This session was amazing!! With this many kids you would think omg what have I signed up for but it could not be farther from the truth!! The kids were amazing!!! Thanks to all of you for an amazing evening!!!

1st Session in the new studio!!

Going to flood feed again with babies and other things!! On another note This world needs more compassion, empathy and respect. I see you out there. The moms doing it all. The dads doing it all. I see you. ... In recent days I have had a few rough patches between sorting my daughters things to send to Michigan, to sending my youngest girls to school, opening a studio, getting galleries back on time, editing, managing time between family and work, shooting sessions and weddings, and just taking a few moments for me. Oh and Covid. Running a business is not all sunshine and rainbows. It rains on my parade too. I am not perfect but I am hard working, and compassionate and patient. I feel I do my absolute best with every newborn, expecting mom, child, and couple to give them the best experience! Will I make mistakes, sure, I am human. I treat everyone I come in contact with, with the utmost respect. I am hard working. Please be mindful when dealing with a small business or a human in general. We can't control everything and when we can't, we do our best to make the most of the situation. Be compassionate. Be mindful. Be kind. And then eat cake!!

What a day and so much love!! Enjoy your sneak peeks!! Kevin and I thoroughly enjoyed our time working with you guys!!!

Amazing intimate wedding!! Congrats Natasha & Josh!!! Thank you for asking us to capture your day!! It was our pleasure!!!... Yes two bridesmaids could not make it due to covid travel restrictions so family surprised the couple with life size cut outs....it was amazing!!!

It's here!! It's finally here!! Natasha and Josh are getting hitched!!! A lot of plans, and new plans and nothing is stopping this today. Off to Chatham!! This is going to be beautiful!!

Big news!! I have moved into the new studio!!! I have a few more finishing touches before I reveal the new space, but I do have something I can share!!! Thank you Nadine for the behind the scenes with sweet Carter today! Stay tuned for his finished gallery!

Peyton has been coming to me since birth for her milestone sessions and man is she a ham and beautiful!!!
