Oh Baby! I sure do love newborn sessions. Newborns and high school seniors are my favorite to photograph. They are both just speak to my heart and I enjoy them the best! It blows my mind at how fast our babies grow! One minute you are snuggling them, teaching them to walk, talk, and then the next they are running and all grown. All those little moments are what is so special and important. It is my job to capture some of those special moments in your babies life!
Each session is different as each baby and senior is different! Plus each family wants something different! I love it! I know there are so many photographers out there now and it is such an honor when someone picks me! <3 I get asked a lot when is the best time to photograph your newborn. Well before baby is 16 days old. It can be done with them a little older but the sooner the better. I offer so many different options as well. I have mini sessions, lifestyle in home sessions, posed/prop sessions. If you are ever unsure of what type of session you want Please ask I am here to help! I wanted to share a few newborns I have had in the studio in the last couple weeks. Your beautiful new babies will not be this small long! Let me help capture these moments for you!

Cake Smash sessions can be loads of fun, a big mess, lots of laughs and sometimes tears. Not every baby loves the cake smash photo session. It can be a hit and miss. Some love it and some not so much! Each baby is different and my job is to roll with it! This little cuties first go around she was just not having it. So we planned for her to come back. She loves to crawl and move. She doesn't like to sit at all. So when we went to sit her down she would cry or throw herself down so she could crawl away. So we rolled with it. We cut the cake and let her lay on her belly to eat her cake. That made her happy! So glad we were able to get some super cute images of her one year smash cake.
It is always a blast to watch your babies grow through the years. It is an honor to be able to capture these moments for my clients! Thank you for trusting in me! Here are a few from her 2 sessions! Hello There!

Oh this session was so perfect. The weather, the light and my clients <3
We were worried as the whole day was so windy, and once we got to the location the wind stopped and it was so perfect! Now that the weather is warming up and we have gotten some rain, everything is finally starting to green up! I know I am ready for the warm longer days! One question I get asked a lot is-where is a good location for your session? Well for me it really depends on many things. What kinds of trees do you like? Do you like open sky's and fields? Do you like water? Do you like taller grass? What type of clothes will you be wearing? So many things to think about! That is why each session is custom and we talk it all out to decide what location will work best for you! <3 Senior photos are so different from when I graduated. They are more custom and more about you and what makes you-You! Some seniors know what they want and some don't. That is why hiring a professional is the best way to go. They will help guide you and help bring your vision to life!
You worked so hard to get through high school and you deserve to shine! Show who you are at this special moment in your life. You and your family will love to look back in time and remember those moments! Are you into sports? Are you into art? Do you love music? Do you have pets or hobbies that you love and want to include? So many fun things can be included into your session to help capture who you are at this moment in time! So when is the best time to do your photos... The summer before your senior year starts. Why? Well if you are in sports or other after school activities it is going to be harder for you to get in to do your photos. You will be busy with homework, sports, work, ect... Plus the weather is nice. Don't get me wrong, fall is a great time as well. But it doesn't last long, it gets darker earlier in the fall and you are in school. So chances of missing an afternoon of school/sports may not be best. So I always say Summer and early fall! I know some of you are like but I love snow photos and want snow. Which yes that can be done but trust me you will not want all your photos done in the snow. It is cold, which makes your nose, face and hands red, it is limiting, and hard to see if there is snow on the ground and the sun is shining. It can make for a tough session. Plus most schools want your photo into the school by November or Early December for yearbook. Plus there are times we don't get a good snow until late December or January. Most photographers are not open during the Holiday's and some take January off. My best advice is do a session where you can split your session into 2 sessions. That way if you want a fall or winter session you can do that, but still get some during the summer. Also another thing to think about is location. Are we traveling somewhere special for your session? Some locations look best in summer and some are better in the fall. Some places are farther away and need more time to travel too! Really there is a lot that goes into your senior session to make it the best! There are so many ways to create your vision. If you have any questions on booking your custom senior session I would love to help you! I want each session to be custom and about YOU! If you are ready to book your custom session give me a call or email me! Here are a few favorites from The Class of 2022 that I had the pleasure of working with! I love photographing high school seniors. So fun and refreshing! Each is so different! This little guy loved my little white chair but didn't really like his cake! Those blue eyes and that smile! What a little cutie. He was walking when he came in! Some kids walk by one and some do not. It sure can make things tricky and hard in a session once the littles are on the move. They want to go go go! :)
When I let my studio go and brought it back to my home I was worried and scared. I am not sure why I was worried. It has been wonderful! I don't have the extra stress of worrying about all the extra bills and I can focus more on work! I am loving the natural light in my new studio. It is such a nice change. It can be a challenge as it is always changing, if we have clouds and then no clouds.
Anyway I wanted to say Thank you to all my amazing clients for all your love and support in my little business! I wouldn't have a business without you all! <3 My studio space is pretty small and that is ok. I normally only do newborns, milestone and some family and some maternity sessions in studio. Most everything else is outside. All senior sessions are done outside and most family sessions are done outside. I am loving this change so much. It feels like a big weight has been lifted. I wanted to share the first few sessions I have had in my new space! <3 Check out all these super cute adorable babies! I sure have had a run on baby boys! Only one girl! I truly love my "job"! The people I get to meet and all these beautiful little babies-I love to watch them grow into big kids too! Hello my lovely peps. Hope all is well! I thought I would pop in and re-introduce myself!
Hello, My name is Corrie. I have been in business now for 15 years and I am blown away it has been 15 years already. Gosh time fly's by way to damn fast! You will probably see me in holly jeans and t-shirt most the time! They are the most comfy! I love my coffee, and my day always starts with a cup of coffee! I have a few favorite coffee mugs of course they have sunflowers on them! But do you think I remembered to bring one of my favorite cups to my photoshoot. Nope, lol I forgot! Any way sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers. Purple is still a favorite color. But I also love all shades of green and I am really digging yellow! Love the sunshine and warmer days. Not a fan of cold or snow! I think snow is beautiful but don't like driving in it or being in it. I love to travel-wish I could do more of it-but shoot it takes lots of money to travel lol. I wish I could live in a tiny home and do lots of traveling! Maybe someday! I am a believer in God. I am a believer in learning and doing new things! I want to start to learn how to do video. I love fruit, raspberries, pears, apricots, strawberries, kiwi, mangos, pineapple, watermelon! These are some of my favs anyway! I am not a fan of being in front of the camera-I am better at being behind the camera. Let me tell you this photoshoot was super hard for me. I have never gone and had professional photos done. I have always done them myself or had my son do them. I am not a fan of being in front of the camera and I have gained so much weight in the last 3 years it is hard for me to even look at these images. I want to tear them apart. Well tear me apart. But I am learning to let it go and love myself for me! Flaws and all! Like I said I am believer in learning and this is one thing I am learning-love yourself! God created each one of us to be different and he loves us for what we are! We need to love ourselves! My favorite things to photograph are of course newborns, but I really Love photographing highs school seniors, older babies, children, families, couples, storms/clouds and landscapes. I do not like to photograph weddings! Weddings just are not my thing. I will shoot them but I do not enjoy them. I am looking forward to meeting you and capturing your memories for you to cherish for a lifetime! This "job" of mine means the world to me and getting to meet so many amazing people a long the way has been such a blessing! I have meet many people and became friends with many!
