He turned 6 months earlier this week, so happy 1/2 little monkey man!

The weather seems to have evened out enough to start planning your outdoor sessions!

So dress the kids in some fun and funky clothes, select a location, and we’ll have a great time capturing the spunkiness of childhood together!

Train station, downtown, gorgeous fields– your pick!
Here are a few examples of what the train station has to offer for your session!

And proof that sessions with me are more fun than formal…
A jumping sequence!


(how incredibly cute would that be in a storyboard???!!!
