Happy Birthday A

We honestly cannot believe a year has gone by since we first met this little man at his newborn session.  We were so happy he came back to visit us on his actual first Birthday.  Who knew that three bouncy balls would have made a little boy so happy.  We loved spending time with you and loved even more when you would flash us that sweet smile.  Happy Birthday Big Boy!  We can't wait to see all the adventures this next year has in store for you.

Friday Favorite- Launching our new website!

Ok, so we have been dreaming of a new website for awhile now! Ever since we

attended a workshop last fall it has been on our to-do list! We wanted the perfect

site to reflect who we are, who our clients are and to show off our work. A LOT has

happened since last fall – namely a baby boy being born (Samuel ), the addition of

Jenny to our team and our business is expanding! We knew it was time to give our

brand a more solid feel – this business is real and we wanted our clients and future

clients to know that!

So, after searching for the perfect designer for our site – it was hands down a

landslide when we decided to work with Sami from Sami Proctor Photography & 

Sami Proctor Photography & Design

You have to check out her work! She is clean, classic, timeless and her work is

stunning from start to finish! We were sold and thrilled to be working with her! And

today, she is our Friday Favorite for bringing our website vision to life!

When we embarked on this journey, Sami asked all of the right questions to get a

feel for what we wanted and how we wanted to express our business through our

website. A website can either draw clients in or turn them away. We know how

crucial this can be for a growing business.

Without further adieu here is our newly designed website. Thank you, Sami!!!!

The V Family

This was such a fun session with grandparents and their grandchildren who came from near and far for this shoot.  They were easy going, polite, and willing to do anything we asked.  They were also very helpful in getting the family dog sitting pretty and looking perfect for every picture.  We loved seeing you again for this session.  Your family is a joy to be around and we love the time we get to spend with them.












Grandma requested this shot at the end of her youngest grandson.  He just melts our hearts and we are pretty sure he melts hers too.

Welcome Baby K!

I'm sure many of you will remember this Mom from her amazing maternity session we posted a few months ago.  Well Baby K has arrived and they are now officially a family of four!  We couldn't be happier for them and simply adore their two sweet little girls.

Planning your Fall Session


Rare Love Photography


Do you have an upcoming session with us? Are you planning to book a Fall family session with us? Here are some of our favorite things to make you session ready:

Ask questions ahead of time

Check out our Pinterest page for outfit inspiration


This photographer has an amazing what-to-wear guide – check it out!


Provide us with any information that might assist in making your session better (are your kids best suited for a morning session, do you want a specific backdrop, etc.)

Be on time for your session

Bring snacks & rewards for your children

Be relaxed for your session – remember kids will be kids and some of the joy in this time of your life is to capture them just as they are

Some of the best moments we capture behind the lens can’t be orchestrated
