I think one of the most special things as a photographer is that I get to experience so much joy through other people's lives. Capturing important moments is such an honor. Especially so when I get to know people from their engagement photos, to their wedding day and eventually when they start a family.

It was great to see you Kim, and meet your absolutely lovely little boy! Much love...

One of the best parts about my job is that I get to meet so many amazing people. I can't tell you how much of an honor it is to be invited into someone's world. For this window of time, they open their lives, show me who they are... their joys, their vulnerabilities. There is a moment in every shoot... sometimes it's the way he makes her laugh, or the way they walk together... a tender look as they embrace their child... a moment when she sits with her unborn child and lights the room with her glow... it's the moment I never forget, and that is their gift to me, because I get to see them, unguarded, completely genuine. As a photographer, it's what I strive for every time I pick up the camera.

So, thank you to all my amazing clients that have invited me into their lives, for one afternoon or many times over the course of years. I am a better person for having met you!

Trevor, Jenn & Sienna | family portrait

Before the holidays, I had the honor of photographing a good friend of mine, Jennifer Scott of A Good Chick to Know. I always love visiting her home, because as you can imagine, with her creative flair, every room could be on the cover of a magazine.

I photographed Jenn and Trevor when pregnant with Sienna last year. Now almost a year and a half old, Sienna is such a cheeky, fun, beautiful girl! And check out her bedroom... only Jenn could make disco balls, reindeer clocks and framed vintage magazines look amazing!

What a beautiful dining room... I love the pattern the light casts on the wall and ceiling.

LOVE the wallpaper!
