I have always known if I got pregnant I’d want to do maternity photos. I knew I’d want to capture this small window and celebrate it! I have been in love with my belly and it was so much fun being photographed pregnant.

expecting : Pregnancy Announcement Photos
I have some big news, my husband and I are expecting! After a couple years together as husband and wife we decided it was time to grow our family. Our newest family member, who we have playfully dubbed Poe for now, is well on their way and as of today I am 19 weeks along. I am loving being pregnant and luckily haven’t experienced too many symptoms!
Spiderweb Ring Must for Auxiliary Magazine
This fashion photograph for Auxiliary Magazine is one of my more recent favorites! Often when I do fashion photography it’s a fashion editorial or lookbook where I have several images to tell the story. I love the challenge of Auxiliary’s Must of doing it in one shot and on one page.

Finally, I am making time to create the albums for my wedding and frame some prints! I never thought it would take me over a year but 2016 was a crazy one and I’m always busy with work so I have to carve out time for personal projects. After getting married in 2015 and totally loving the whole wedding planning process, I have started advertising weddings as a service I offer. I have been shooting weddings for years through referrals but with weddings being more unique, creative, and styled nowadays, I am shooting a lot more weddings! So now that wedding season is over, I have made the time to finish up projects with my own wedding photos and share them here on my blog.
On August 28, 2015 I married Michael Kieffer and since we are both editors of Auxiliary Magazine we playfully dubbed it the Auxiliary Wedding. I always thought my wedding would be very non-traditional but as we started planning I found I really wanted to do many of the traditions so our wedding became a balance between following along with tradition and making it our own.
Witchy Dress Must for Auxiliary Magazine
I shot the Fall 2015 Must feature for Auxiliary Magazine with Cats Like Us store owner Julie Ann Davis. I choose a Hell Bunny dress from their shop and was very excited to photograph her freshly colored orange hair. We shot on location by the Erie Canal where is travels through North Tonawanda.
