We braved the January cold for a wintery maternity session at Rice Creek Regional Trail.

Always an adventure taking this family’s pictures — we explored a bit on Brighton Beach (Lester River Bridge) this time, and I freely admit I almost fell in the water a couple times. Those rocks can be tricky, at least while wearing flip-flops!

This expecting mama was absolutely radiant for her maternity session. Baby Clara is so loved already.

Welcome to the world, Everly! This little girl was so calm, and loved being held by mommy and daddy (I mean, what baby doesn’t?). Bryson’s already such a good big brother, he was so gentle and sweet with her, and my heart melted so much during this session <3

When it’s too cold to bring the kids outside, we improvise. Beautiful family photos in the comfort of their living room!

I did a maternity session for a high school friend of mine, Angelica Olson, who is expecting her first baby! She was positively GLOWING, seriously <3 The weather turned out better than we had been expecting, so we were able to do a nice little outdoor shoot before winter officially comes.

We took advantage of a photographer event at the Como Conservatory so we could get out of the cold for some family photos!

Here’s just a handful of photos from Jackie and Brandon Salisbury’s big day! Congratulations again, you two! Thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding day!
