But that’s not all! Mom is a huge Halloween fan, so we couldn’t resist adding in some Fall and Halloween-themed shots. Pumpkins, spiders, bats, and all the cozy Fall feels made these moments extra special. It was the perfect blend of whimsy and seasonal fun.

Big families bring a different energy. The studio buzzes with excitement and fun. There’s always someone with a something going on. Coordinating everyone can be a bit of a puzzle, but that’s part of the fun. The result is always worth it—a beautiful, dynamic portrait that showcases each member’s place in the family.

This amazing family has been trying to grow their family for years via adoption. They finally got their placement and only had a few hours’ notice. Can you imagine?! I couldn’t be more excited for them on this journey into parenthood of two kiddos.

As a mom of three, I understand the joys and challenges of adding a new baby to your family. Transitioning from one child to two can be a big adjustment for everyone. Drawing from my own experiences, here are seven tips to help make the transition smoother:

I love sitter milestone sessions! Capturing babies at this stage is so special. These sessions are best when your baby can sit soundly on their own. You should feel comfortable leaving your baby on a hard surface without fear of toppling over. This usually happens around 7 months old, but every baby is different. If your baby isn’t sitting solidly yet, we can reschedule.
