I am personally the type of person who loves to learn, especially when it comes to things I’m passionate about.  Working in an industry where styles and trends are constantly changing, I made a decision some time ago to invest in my professional growth as much as I could.  Once or twice a year I’ve been traveling the country to be taught by the photography industry’s very best.  Last month I traveled to Omaha to meet the industry leaders in newborn photography.  They were amazing to watch and learn from and I came away with new tips and tricks to take my newborn photography to a whole new level.

As many of you know, earlier this year I decided to specialize in newborn and baby photography.  I moved away from weddings completely, and now only take a very limited number of family sessions.  Newborn photography is what speaks to me, and it’s what I strive to excel at.  I love everything about it.  And with my new knowledge, I hope to continue to provide beautiful portraits and snuggle with your beautiful babies!  Below is a sampling of some photos I took during my trip – I met three gorgeous brand new baby girls and there were some amazing set-ups!
