And... Carter turns 1 tomorrow!


It's crazy to think that a little over 1 year ago, I signed a contract with Jess & Mike to photograph their journey becoming parents for the first time. Jess' Mom found out that I was expanding my photography business because it just so happens that she lives next door to my Mom. Geri admired the photographs I captured for my sister & her family & wanted to offer the same experience to her daughter & first grandchild.


As usual, I'm blown away by how fast a year went. I couldn't believe that we were wrapping up Carter's First Year a week or so ago. It's pretty incredible to be a part of a families journey & document so many incredible milestones. I can't thank the Egan's & Loffredo's enough for trusting me to document this journey.
