Happy Fall, ya’ll! Well, almost :) I can’t believe it’s already the beginning of September, and that we only have a few months until Christmas! Fall is my favorite time of year and one of the most sought after times for family photography, but before we get too deep into the season of crisp air, […]

Meet the newest member of the Rivera family! A Love for Newborns To say I love newborns is an understatement :-)  Their little toes, tiny fingers, even their soft sneezes make me swoon! And I’m always reminded how light they after holding either of my two boys.

“Nothing fits now and I can’t seem to find things that work with my ever-changing tummy!” I remember the frustration I felt as I got further along in my pregnancy when I couldn’t find things that fit right anymore. Everything in my closet was either too tight or too short or just unflattering all together. […]

I still remember the feelings I had when I found out I was pregnant with my first son – a bit of excitement and then fear when I realized I had a little living thing within me; moments of “I can do the whole no sleep thing – I’m a night owl anyway :-)”; and […]

It was 7:15 p.m., and we were sitting down to a dinner of fresh-caught flounder my husband had just prepared. It was then I felt the first sustained contraction, and between my doubts of wondering whether or not it was true labor, I told him, “I think this might be the real thing…” I knew […]

I’m so excited to share with you this session I did not too long ago in the cold north of Ohio. Winter is always a tough season for me where I live, specifically because of the harsh cold temperatures (I’m always cold anyway!) and the long stint of grayness that sets in before the warmer […]

Happy belated New Year! Though I know we are already toward the end of January, I hope everyone’s 2015 has started off great, and I for one am excited about what this year has to bring. But before delving into the ideas, hopes and dreams about 2015, I’d like to take a look back on […]

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! I can’t believe winter is already here! It has truly been a busy, but joyous season in photography for me over the last several months, and I feel so grateful for each and every one of my clients who I photographed this year. Though I plan to do a year-in-review in […]

There are so many wonderful things to write about, so I won’t waste any time getting into what I’d like to share with you today.  Earlier this summer, I had the privilege of shooting a senior session with Austin.  Austin had actually asked me a couple of years ago if I could do his senior […]
