One of the biggest questions that I am asked by clients is where to find a dress for their session.

This is Emma’s second studio maternity session at Studio Illume, and yet again she looks absolutely lovely! I first met this sweet family while she was pregnant with her first son, Aiden. This time around Aiden is SO big and a big brother! It is so cute to see him running around as a toddler. […]

With the motherhood event coming up so soon in April, I thought it was a good time to share some recent photographs I took of this momma with her littles. I wanted to photograph a bonnet that I handmade for the client closet, so I asked Faith to meet me at the studio that morning […]

You may remember this adorable newborn and lifestyle family photography session from last year of the family behind the The Archer Foundation for Hydrocephalus.
