The Unscripted series has been so amazingly wonderful and different from typical photo sessions. To be invited into a family’s home and participating their everyday family life in order to document the beautiful moments which otherwise elude us so quickly…it’s really the best.
I met this family during the holiday madness season and immediately liked their relaxed, fun style. Their infant son is about the cutest little guy ever, too. I was thrilled when mom contacted me about doing an Unscripted session; aside from my slightly unhealthy interest in other people’s homes, I really liked this family and looked forward to getting to know them all a little better.
The session was so much fun. I learned that dad has an interest in local history/flavor and mom has a talent for designing children’s bedrooms (totally need that service). I learned that we share a common sentiment for the work and heartache associated with owning an old home. I learned that their son is charming, handsome and very well-loved.
I’m presenting only the B&W conversions for this preview because this is how I imagined the Unscripted series. Simple, unassuming, beautiful. Just like this lovely family.
Hope you love the photos.

Lovely, funny, lively Mom with an amazing sense of style. Relaxed, hilarious, pro-cooking and pro-housekeeping Dad. Gorgeous, perfect, amazing baby boy. It is a thing of magic. What a wonderful family – I am thrilled that I got a chance to know them during this special time. Hope you love the photos.

Remember this family? I first met them when I did a maternity session while mom was pregnant with gorgeous son Bryce. I loved working with creative and beautiful mom, fun, relaxed dad and sweet, conscientious big brother Dean (who is also gorgeous) – and this session reminded me how great this family is. The boys were so cute and cooperative – I couldn’t get enough of them. And I love parents who are natural and unconcerned in front of the camera. Everything just came together and we captured some beautiful memories. I can’t wait until next time! Hope you love the photos. xoxo

My town is full of the loveliest people and this family is no exception. In fact, I’m starting to think families with three children have some sort of magic power (note to self/hubs: maybe another child would be ok!). These three were so well-behaved, cooperative, creative (oldest son was locating amazing spots for unique photos), sweet and helpful. They also seemed to genuinely like and respect one another which was so beautiful to see. I’m sure not every moment is picture perfect, but on this day every moment was. Hope you love the photos!

Another great family, and this time I got to meet the [grand]parents! I felt so fortunate that they chose to share one of their last days all together with me for photos and I was thrilled to capture this special visit celebrating the birth and first few months of this gorgeous baby boy’s life. Mom and Dad were lovely, so peaceful and gentle – I can’t imagine this little boy being better loved. There was an air of warmth around him much like a halo. :) And look at those eyes!! I hope you love the photos…

A few weekends ago, I was thrilled to see a lovely friend from high school, meet her laid back husband and photograph their gorgeous baby son. Mom looked stunning, Dad was friendly and easy-going and immediately I was impressed by the ease with which these two operated…they were completely fluid as a couple and as parents. About halfway through the session it suddenly struck me why this fact stood out: they are not a couple married for 40 years who have raised scores of children and have seen it all – they are fairly newly married and first time parents! Yet I saw no hesitation, no nervousness or uncertainty with the baby or with each other – only calm understanding and love. Beautiful! Thank you for coming out and sharing this precious time with me. Sebastian is a sweet, handsome boy and with such amazing parents I know he’ll be a truly special person. Hope you love the photos. xx

I love this family. I love their warmth, genuine love for one another and kindness. Working with them is to know joy. I was thrilled to capture the wonderful surprise baby shower celebrating the upcoming arrival of their baby son – and I can’t wait to do the newborn photos! Big sister “Biani” is so sweet, I know her brother will be as well. Best of luck and sending easy labor vibes. I look forward to the happy announcement. xx

LOVE this family! They were so much fun. Mom and I went to college together about a million years ago. You know…in the nineties – and there are some classic photos to prove it. We reconnected thanks to the magic wonder that is Facebook and I was thrilled to get to catch up in person and meet her cool husband and really amazing children. Little red-headed Ian just turned one and he was a very well-behaved and charming model. Big sister Rosemary was lovely and sweet and so patient and gentle with her brother. It was a really wonderful morning and we got some great photos! Even though thinking about how long it’s been since we were young and carefree college kids makes me feel ancient, reunions always strip away the years instantly. It’s the best feeling. Thanks Kristen, for coming to see me – you look beautiful and happy!
