Now that summer is here, it’s time for my Wildflower Minis! I love offering these sessions for my families – and that I get to meet lots of new families, too! These sessions take place is a beautiful little wildflower patch in Howard County and are a great chance to update your family photos with […]

I just adored working with this extended family for their lifestyle session. Extended family sessions are typically chaotic – in the best way – because you’ve got so many people together to photograph. But this family’s lifestyle photos were so calm and peaceful. It was important to Kim and her family to capture the special […]

But I have to confess something, while I love in-home sessions for you – my clients- I also selfishly love them for myself too. But, […]

I grew up in a rural community and when a client reached out to head to Western Howard County for a family session that included their farmhouse, outdoor garden space, and a tire swing… I was so excited. It felt like going home in a way. All of these family lifestyle photos make my heart […]

Another year has come and gone and I’m so thankful for each of my amazing CTP families and clients. I thought to celebrate this year, I would create some fun superlatives to give out – showing off some of my favorite moments from this year’s photo sessions.
