If you’re anything like me, you’re taking hundreds of pictures every month documenting your life and the people in it. But what happens next? Do they live on your phone indefinitely? Does your backup plan consist of uploading them to social media? Are there pictures from your best friend’s birthday party five years ago still […]

I was so excited when Ellen reached out to me about photographing her family as they prepare to welcome their new addition! She is an absolute joy and her Murray Park maternity session will go down as one of my all time favorites! Ellen and I met years ago when she joined the symphony orchestra […]
