welcome to the blog
hey there!
I'm so glad you're here!

I just love when a family “gets it” when they come to one of my sessions. They came prepared to play- picnic packed, classic books to read with the kids, and were totally cool with spinning and playing with their little ones in the deep meadow of goldenrod. This location is one of my favorite […]
