Welcome to the Blog

Three generations of strong independent women in one photo? Ummm… Yes please! I met Sam last year during my Holiday Mini Sessions.

This year I did things a little differently. Back in July I opened up my booking schedule for these POPULAR Christmas mini sessions with my Christmas in July promotion for just two weeks. The idea behind this was for all the moms out there like me that would rather have their family portrait session scheduled […]
