je vois photography

I know most of what you see around here is weddings, and I love them. It’s so special to be invited into someone’s wedding day, but even more special to be tasked with capturing those important memories forever. It was also part of my original business plan (and dream) to be with people from their […]

There’s a movement going on in the photography industry called “front porch sessions.” It’s to provide people the opportunity to have photos taken during this very specific time in history, capturing the phase of life they’re in right now.  I love the idea.  It doesn’t REALLY fit my business model, as I’m generally far closer […]

A few months ago I got to spend time with a wonderful family!  The mama of the bunch is practically family.  I can still remember listening to her laugh when she was the age of her daughters (and trying to determine if she was laughing or crying.  They were very similar, very passionate sounds.)  She […]

What do we do at a lifestyle session?  We play.  We laugh.  We snuggle.  We just do what you do. What pictures do you want of your children?  I want real.  I want their everyday expressions and pastimes.  Look how beautiful it can be…

Last summer I was reminded why I got into this crazy photography career.  It was because of the relationships, emotions and moments I saw I could capture forever.  As I watch my beautiful daughters grow, it’s bittersweet because I know the moment I’m enjoying will soon be gone forever.  But, through my camera, I can […]

Back before it was one million degrees outside, I got to go meet a brand new baby and see a sweet family that I’ve known since the parents were elementary schoolers.  Stephen and Mindy had been together, either dating or married, on the day their daughter Heidi was born.  What a celebration!  Seeing them as […]

We met little Garrison 6 months ago at his rainy day infant session.  Now, on this beautiful fall afternoon, we got to see his personality.  He was precious!  And his parents are some of my favorites too! Enjoy this little bundle of fun…

It was a really fun way to start family portrait season when my old friend Lindsay emailed about doing a session for her family.  Our dad’s have known each other since forever and Lindsay and I were friends in college.  I hadn’t met her husband or beautiful daughters though, and I was itching for a […]

I love a fast-moving process.  I got a text from a mom last Thursday afternoon and we ended up setting up the photo session for her three kids at 8 am the very next day!  She said she had bee procrastinating their portraits and had to get them done.  So we did! These two boys […]

I know the holidays seem far away.  But in order for you to have images in time for your holiday cards to go out, we need to start thinking about it now.  Between my wedding schedule and holidays/life busy-ness, the available times fill up fast.  Let me know as soon as you know when you’d […]

I have known Liesa and Chad since their wedding a year and a half ago.  It was beautiful, the church was beautiful, they were beautiful.  So I don’t know why it is any surprise at ALL that their baby girl, Emma, would also be beautiful.  She’s tiny.  With expressive eyebrows.  Just like her infant session […]

Just before I left for my annual summer vacation, I had a flurry of portrait sessions.  I always love it when a session includes catching up with a friend.  So, Juliet’s session was a favorite since I got to visit with her wonderful mother, Annah.  You’ve all seen her beautiful daughter Claire and Juliet’s infant […]

I love this little family.  Sweet baby Hope is a blessed girl to be born to one like this.  Ben and Cally are in our small group and their first baby girl, Anna Grace, is precious.  So dainty and beautiful with some major spunk.  I’m sure sweet, roly poly, bright-eyed Hope will follow suit.  So […]

Remember the contest I had to help raise money for an almost-new-mom my friend Catie was helping?  Well one of the winners was a friend I’ve known since early childhood.  Natalie and I had our first daughters around the same time and I don’t think I’ve seen her since we were both pregnant.  Meeting her […]

It’s safe to say that there are too many images in this post.  But this little Emma is so unbelievably cute, I just couldn’t help myself.  Remember her parents Liesa and Chad’s wedding a year and a half ago?  And then her infant session?  This family has a history of great photos on the blog […]
