Welcome, Elena

April 9, 2018

Elena's newborn session was split into two, I first met her at just 12-hours old at the hospital and a few weeks later, spent time with her at home. A lot happens in those short few weeks, new expressions and personality emerges. Documenting those changes is a treasure.

2017: Documentary Family Favorites

January 2, 2018

In-home sessions blend documentary and environmental portraiture, with the aim of capturing your life, right now. The fleeting moments, the real emotions, your every day. Much like a wedding or a birth, they are personal. They allow me to enter your space, documenting your genuine emotions and letting things unfold naturally. Here are some favorites from 2017!

Welcome, Shepherd

As a photographer, there are so many intimate moments you experience with family's- some of their biggest milestones and greatest memories in their lifetime. Weddings, births, siblings meeting for the first time, first birthdays and more. Special feels too weak a word to describe the privilege of sharing in these events, to provide family's with their own tangible piece of their history, that they will one day share with their children, as they tell them their story. Certainly grateful.

Introducing Shepherd, at less than an hour old.

At Home with O'Brien and Erin

October 13, 2017

Although this island grips its inhabitants with a grasp you almost can't escape, sometimes it is forced to let go. Part of our unique culture here, one that is a town fueled by Fishermen and Coast Guardsmen. The hardest part is saying goodbye to good people, much like we did last summer, but always remembering Kodiak never escapes their heart.

We look forward to this family's return one day.

Some of my favorite parts of newborn photography, is talking to moms about their transition into motherhood, even if it's the second or third time around. Everyone's path to motherhood is so unique, yet something so relatable among women. It can be one of the hardest, most challenging paths for some women, and for others, the most natural experience they've taken on. Regardless of how one becomes "mom," it is an experience that seems to transcend anything and everything.

Welcome to the world, Tommi.
