Featured Session: The Franke Family Documentary Session
Life with littles is just plain hard sometimes.
My prayer for this film as it goes out to this family in the thick of it, is that they can watch it in quiet moments and appreciate the beauty that’s being buried in all that busy business of keeping babies alive and fed.

The Steele Family Film + Photos | Brown County Family Photographer
A ten-year dream finally came true for the Steele family — their new home in Brown County, Indiana. This family film captures the heart of their story: fairy gardens, muddy boots, wildflowers, and morel mushrooms on the land they’ve loved for years. It’s not about the house just yet — it’s about the journey, the laughter, and the joy of finally being home.
Grow With Me Series Finale! | Donnie and Leroy are 1
In this Grow With Me series, I had the privilege of capturing Donnie and Leroy’s first year. From NICU smiles to their one-year session, I carefully pieced together every moment to create a heartfelt film. Watch as I take you on a journey from newborn to one-year-old, blending special memories and family milestones. This is one of my most emotional films, and I can’t wait for you to experience it.

The Bettcher Family Film + Photos
Some clients just get it. Cara was one of them — thoughtful, genuine, and all-in from the very first family film we created together. This time, on a freezing February day, I joined the Bettcher family for another cozy, joy-filled afternoon at home. From homeschooling moments to magnablock towers and bedtime books, this film is a love letter to the beauty in the everyday.

The Franke Family Film captures the quiet beauty of first-time parenthood—snuggles, bottles, giggles, and love that shines through even in the everyday routines. This lifestyle family film preserves the moments you’ll want to remember long after the baby stage has passed.
Cullen | A Grow With Me Video Series, Part 2
Watching your baby grow right before your eyes is both magical and unbelievably fast. That’s exactly why Grow With Me Film Sessions exist—to bottle up the newborn days, the wobbly six-month stage, and that big first-birthday personality in a heartfelt, documentary-style film. This session marks Cullen’s six-month milestone, and he has already transformed into a giggly, curious, on-the-move little adventurer. From snowy playtime to reading books and exploring his playroom, this family film captures the sweetest everyday moments. I can’t wait to finish his first-year story this summer.
