May I just say how much I ADORED this session, truly from start to finish? Kela and Tom are some of the kindest, most patient parents EVER and their gorgeous baby girls reminded me so much of my own daughters it was scary. As in, I had a couple of odd deja vu moments. Freaked just a little. We strolled and laughed and chatted through the amazing Olbrich Gardens last fall (hiding my face and peeking through my fingers now…yes, STILL catching up). Enjoy and feel the love, my friends.
By the way, if you are interested in booking a family session with me, but are waiting until warmer spring weather…guess what? I am now booking into March and April. So get on the stick, people! Would hate for you to miss out on celebrating YOUR family’s story.


Miss Addy, age 5. Joyful, dramatic, fearless. Hello out there, anyone who knows my Eliza? Am I right? Yep, thought so.


And 7-year-0ld Kaia. Responsible, kind-hearted, frequently annoyed with her little sister, a bit shy at first but then…magical. SO Avery it’s actually quite alarming.




Love me some sun flare. It’s like the light of angels.




The girl cracks. me. UP. That last shot with her eyes closed kills me. Can’t you just hear her humming, off in her own little world?






Holy cats, these children have some fantastically vivid and sparky eyes. And the lashes…wow!








Such a beautiful, extraordinary family. And so glad we even got their sweet, beloved pup in a shot! Darling little poser.
