Prepare yourself for a sweet in-home newborn session! It was a cold January day when I met up with the newly-minted family of four for little Emmett’s newborn portraits, but the burnt orange and beige color palette that mom picked out for the family’s outfits made it feel so warm! They coordinated perfectly!

We started on the bed with big brother for some family photos. I always recommend starting with the older sibling before they lose attention in me! Big brother Carson was very attentive to his little brother.

Then big brother got a break so we could focus on Mom and Dad with baby! I love the the emotion that radiates from these portraits.

Brace yourself for the post kiss smile!!

It’s the little dimple for me!!

Grandma and Uncle were in town to help out with the new baby. I told them to hop in a few photos – generational portraits are a great gift for grandparents!!

Do you remember the days visiting your grandparents, pouring over albums upon albums of family photos? Your parents' lives spread out on the pages before you. Photos leading to stories, leading to long-forgotten memories, recalling details from days long ago. 

I do. It was always my favorite pastime visiting my grandma, the family documentarian. Now the task has passed down to me, documenting the days as they go by, keeping the record for my nieces and nephews, for my own children to come. 

Now think of your children, ten, twenty, fifty years from now. What will they have to look back on to remember a time they were too young to recall themselves. 

It would be my honor to be your family's documentarian, too! Forever chronicling your journey together with timeless portraits that your family will enjoy for generations to come. 


A photo is worth a thousand memories
