My aim for each and every session is to create a relaxed, friendly environment for all children and families, when I arrive I will spend a bit of time getting to know your children, I want them to feel comfortable with me and make them feel as if it is completely normal that I am there.

But in the next frame, something got sweet Brady down, and I also caught this beautifully emotional moment that I might love even more than the smiley one. Both of these images will be delivered in Justin and Ashley's gallery because as a mom, I

Let's talk about location! Early on in the booking process this is one of the first questions I ask. If we are looking to do an outdoor session, the location is crucial. I have some tried and true locations in my back pocket that I will suggest, and there are other locations that a lot of people like to have their sessions at (with me or other photographers) that I actually don't think are great locations at all.
