Here is one of my favorite locations with a family I have been photographing since before their daughter Olivia was born! My friend Andrea has been supporting me since the beginning of my photography journey, allowing me to take her maternity photos when I wasn’t so sure I could do it. I appreciate her encouragement over the years so much because — let’s be honest —putting your art out into the world for everyone to see isn’t easy and I haven’t always felt confident. It took time for me to learn, grow and embrace the ups and downs — but I’m so glad I did and for friends like Andrea!

XO,
