I’ve already shared why we chose homeschooling, but honestly even though I knew it would be best, I struggled with deciding whether I would enjoy it. I had a lot of apprehensions, and it has been a much more positive experience than I expected! So I wanted to share some of the reasons why we […]

From before I should have, I just had a weird feeling I was pregnant. As soon as I could, I took a little test to confirm my suspicion. And since we have shared that news, I have been shocked by the response of some who don’t know us well. We’ve heard the superstition that as […]

Sarah is so beautiful and talented! She is a senior this year and captain of her school’s dance team, and somehow balances that with rehearsals at her studio all the time, too! I loved getting to know her and enjoyed this senior session SO much! Since my seniors can choose to have a traditional session […]

Where to begin! As I sat in my office, overwhelmed with the stress of finances that always comes after blowing the budget during the holidays which was amplified by major car problems and medical bills from a fluke accident, I started to look for photos to summarize our year. I decided that I wouldn’t just […]

A month before our girl would start kindergarten, I worked diligently to teach the tiny little thing to recognize the letters “A,” “B,” and “C.” I was a licensed teacher and couldn’t do it.

Almost eight years ago, I got to hold a tiny baby just a few minutes after he was born. He was so small + perfect. I had never been there for any baby’s birth, and I was instantly attached. A few years later, that little one started calling me “Auntie KT.” I got to spend […]

Oh my goodness, if you need something to make you smile, this is it! I debated whether I would share these on the blog or not, because newborn sessions are not something I plan to do often… but these are just too precious not to share. Luke and Lauren, you two have the most beautiful […]

Carly and I have talked about doing a family shoot since this cute little thing was born, and I’m so glad she decided to do a mommy + me greenhouse session! Alaya is so cute + snuggly and I’m so glad I finally got to meet her and squeeze her! Carly chose the perfect outfits […]

I have known the Bales family since Emily was teeny tiny! I hadn’t gotten to me the newest addition to their family yet, so I was thrilled when Abby asked me to take their family photos. This was the first time EVER they’ve had professional family photos done, but they are the most photogenic and […]
