Lifestyle portraiture photographer documenting the journey of motherhood in a pure, simple, organic way.

So this post is a little overdue since we’re already well into January 2014 and December seems like so long ago… but I have a good excuse! It was so very hard to choose my ultimate favorite “money shots” from 2013. When I officially launched my business in June of last year I had no […]
