I had so much fun photographing this JOYFUL family of four in my studio!

Recapping the benefits, the struggles, and what habits I hope to keep from my “dumb phone summer.”

I had a blast with this family of SIX in the studio! It’s so fun working with big families because that’s where my roots are & I am now growing a large family of my own. I feel right at home!

I adore this family & this newborn photo session at their home with their newest addition made for such a happy, calm, & light-filled morning.
