“When we have a baby, I want you to do our newborn session” – Whitney (Solomon’s mom), years before he was born. He’s been long thought of and prayed for, and he’s finally here! A couple of months after he was born, I got together with him and his parents for a newborn session. It’s one of my favorite newborn sessions to date!

Anna Beth & Ryan’s wedding was a celebration shared with all of their closest friends and family, on a crisp fall day amongst the changing leaves. Sonnets and scriptures were read. A low country boil was served. Pies were cut. Dances were shared. Outbursts of laughter amongst family members were heard. It was a day sure to be remembered by everyone present!

Ashlee and Brad’s wedding was a friends-and-family-filled day near Lake Martin, Alabama. All day, they were surrounded and supported by the people they love. Isn’t that one of the most beautiful parts of a wedding day? People from all seasons of life come together to celebrate and committ to supporting a couple as they begin their lives together.

At the end of last year, Lesley and Taylor invited me over one sunny Saturday morning to photograph them enjoying all of their favorite Christmasy corners of their home. These are photos I’ve been waiting all year to share, and I hope they bring you as much joy as they do me.

San Francisco Top Picks: All of the Golden Gate National Parks (Lands End and Crissy Field were favorites!) Any snack or drink from Dandelion Chocolate San Francisco Museum of Modern Art – they have a photography wing, so of course I was obsessed Alamo Square for lounging in the sun Pier 7 at night – […]

This past spring, I spent a few days in New Orleans with one of my go-to travel friends. It is truly unlike any other city I’ve visited! The colors, the music, the food, the “Louisiana French” pronunciations of street names. After experiencing the city’s unique culture, I understand why so many are prone to make New Orleans a constant in their travel rotation.

This past December, my family took a trip to “The Big Island” of Hawaii. In 2016, we saw a lot of exciting milestones, (two graduations, an engagement, new jobs…) so we thought it was fitting to celebrate by crossing the Pacific and closing out the year on a tropical island.

I recently spent a long weekend visiting New York for the first time. The city has been on my travel list for a very long time, and it was just as magical as I had hoped it would be! Sometimes, I can have such high expectations for how a trip or an experience will go, then it’s nothing like I hoped. I was terrified that would be the case with this weekend, but I was so wrong!

Lesley grew up in Colorado, and has a deep love for mountains. While the foothills of the Appalachians are slightly different from The Rockies, they have a beauty and majesty of their own, and they provided the rocky landscapes and sweeping views she craved for her bridal portraits.
