When your middle name is that of your great grandmother’s name, and your mama’s middle name, documenting all the “Eileens” is a must! This was such a special session with great grams, GiGi, mama and baby girl Elsie (with special appearance from little brother Malachi) Seriously. The BEST. Brings tears to my eyes to witness such a special time in their lives!

a beautiful birth story starts with beautiful maternity images. I so wish i had some images made when I was pregnant with each of my four children. I found a few (not so great) snapshots , and I’m at least happy to have those.
I love photographing maternity sessions for my birth clients because it’s a great time for us to connect and get to know each other before the big birth day happens. Much like an engagement session is to a wedding, I find these appointments so beneficial.
Birth is such a personal experience, and it is my heart to make every woman feel as comfortable with me being in the room. It’s also important for fathers to be cool with me being in the birth space as this is all new for him as well!
these next few images were taken by one of my awesome back up birth photographers, Laura Lyn.
I’m so thankful for this amazing industry of people who back each other up and deliver stellar work!
Then I was able to go the next day for a sweet fresh baby session.
these tiny toes against the postpartum belly that just days before housed her
I think she is going to be a daddy’s girl!
I am so excited to watch her grow and see your little family flourish!!

I can’t believe I get to photograph women in their most beautiful state, with-child. I am slightly obsessed with pregnant women- like, when I see one I want to say, “can I please photograph you?!” but.. that would be creepy. (or WOULD it ??!! )
so, I have to rely on all of you to spread the word about my love for maternity, BIRTH, and motherhood photography. (no, really, go tell all your friends!)
Kaylyn borrowed clothes from my JPP studio closet. I just love all these looks!
soft and sweet to bold and moody. which do you prefer?? I love both!! XO
Every girl needs to find a guy who makes her smile and laugh this much!
when I first met Cheryl at Biggby in Maumee, I knew she was my people. We hit it off like nobody’s business, and she booked me right then and there.
When I got to meet Kyle at the engagement session I knew they were meant for each other.
He is just the sweetest, kindest and funniest math teacher I ever met!
These two are going to have the BEST wedding day July 7!!! No fireworks needed because they will be making their own, if you know what I mean!!
Loved finding our little “secret garden” for our impromtu shoot. I’m not suite sure I want to take anyone else there!!
