Welcome to the sweetest little pumpkin, coming 2024!


This time last year, I had the great joy of photographing Victoria, Nate, and their family of four-legged babies. This year, I had the incredible, incredible pleasure to photograph a maternity session to welcome their newest member of the pack.

I'm forever grateful that Victoria and Nate were willing to make a little bit of a drive to Three Waters Reserve and I'll say this hands down, it is absolutely worth the trek! Expansive grasslands, towering oak trees, and the fact that besides us, it was perfectly empty. We had an entire sunset all to ourselves.
