I'm so glad I was able to capture this sweet family! This sweet baby girl enjoyed picking flowers and running around in this amazing field. This age is one of the hardest to capture because they really just want to play! So that's exactly what we did :) #Family #FamilyofThree #Italy #FamilySession

Sweet Ezra slept this entire session. Through the moving around and switching between mom and dads arms, he was out! And can you believe that head of hair?! I love it! Thank you Knowles for choosing me to document some moments with your little man! #Baby #Newborn #NewbornPhotography #LifestyleNewborn #LifestyleNewbornPhotographer #LifestyleNewbornPhotography #Love #Family #FamilyofThree

And yet another blog I forgot to post! And it's from another trip to Slovenia! I think when we went to these places, I was focusing way too much on getting perfect travel photos and comparing myself to other travel photographers. I thought all of my photos were garbage compared to theirs and I felt embarrassed that I couldn't do what they could do. It's all so silly because these are OUR memories. They don't need to be perfect! So here I am, sharing them now! And as I loo

I met the Martin family almost 1 whole year ago when their youngest was born! They were actually one of the very first sessions I had in Italy! I was so excited when Brittney asked me to take photos of their family again. The boys have grown so much and I loved catching up with them as we captured some sweet moments. #Family #FamilySession #Italy #FamilyPhotography

December 3rd - December 4th 2017 So a few days ago I was talking to a friend about Slovenia and our trips that we had taken there, and when I looked into my blog to share with her, I realized I had never written any about our trips there!! I really thought I had, but I guess not hahaha So here I am now, writing this blog 9 months later! So last December my parents came for a week and on the weekend we decided to head over to Slovenia! It was an easy drive (just two hours) a

I loved shooting this little family in the beautiful town of Sacile! They've lived here for the past few years and are at the end of their tour here in Italy. It was so special being able to capture them in their town, the town where they brought their first baby home to, where they walked and got gelato and where they made some beautiful memories! As a military family, we have "homes" all over, and it's an honor to have been able to give them a little something to remember

Family sessions are so fun! I loved hanging out with these three and hearing their story. Connecting with the families that I work with is so special to me. It's one of the reasons why I love photography! I'm so thankful for the families that choose me to capture their special moments! #Family #FamilyofThree #Italy #FamilySession #FamilyPhotography #Motherhood #Fatherhood #Son

This family couldn't be more picture perfect! When I shot their Maternity session I loved how fun these two were! We laughed a lot during our session and I knew their Newborn session would be filled with the same amount of joy! It was eventful with a blow out and dad getting peed on, hahaha but we had a blast and Miles is just the sweetest thing! I also got to meet Hannah's mom who was able to be here in Italy for the birth of her grandson! It's so special to include grandp

We've had some pretty rainy days here in Italy but we got lucky the night of Taylor and Jared's maternity session! We had the most magical light that made my photographer heart SO happy! They are a gorgeous couple and their little girl is already so loved. I loved getting to know them and I can't wait for them to welcome their sweet baby into this world! #Maternity #MaternityPhotographer #MaternitySession #MaternityPhotography #SummerMaternity #Motherhood #Fatherhood #BabyB

On Fathers Day weekend we decided to take a little day trip to one of Venice's beautiful islands, Burano! It was kind of a long trek to get there, but worth it. We drove to the Sacile train station, took the train to Venice, and then got on a boat taxi to Murano (another island of Venice that is known for it's blown glass) and then had to switch boats to finally arrive in Burano! All together it probably took about 2.5-3 hours to actually get to the island. Once we were t

This was my third session working with the Harr family and I just love them! They are incredibly sweet and they have finally welcomed their 2nd baby into the world! It was a surprise gender (which I love!) and they were blessed with a little boy! I could tell right away that Emma was an amazing big sister. She gave her little brother all of the kisses and snuggles she could! While he nursed, she showed me her pretty flowers and I got some shots of her playing with her gr

Let me just tell you right now, you'll want to scroll to the bottom of this blog post! Exciting announcement from this sweet family! #Family #Love #Italy #PregnancyAnnouncement #FamilySession #LeighRosePhotography #Brugnera

I love capturing my friends and their families! Calvin is such a character and I love being around his bubbly personality! He is seriously so fun to photograph!! Haha And he is such a handsome little dude! And of course Lauren and Jeremy, they are such a sweet couple and how gorgeous are they?! I can not wait for them to welcome their new baby in just a few months and to watch them grow as a family of four! #Maternity #MaternityPhotographer #MaternitySession #SpringMaternit

I met the Harr family a few months ago for Emma's 3rd birthday photos and now they are getting ready to welcome their 2nd baby! Emma (as you can tell) is so excited to be a big sister! She is such a sweetheart AND she has some photography skills! Haha During the session I let her help me (as I do with most of my toddlers when I'm trying to get shots of just mom and dad) and the photo she took is actually one of my favorites from the session! I love interacting with my famil

Last Fall I met up with Hannah and we talked about her vision for her Maternity and Newborn sessions. She was so sweet and I knew I was going to love working with her and her husband! Time flew by and she's now nearing the end of her pregnancy so a few weeks ago we met up at Lake Barcis for their Maternity session. It was absolutely perfect! We strolled around the quaint Italian village and had a lot of laughs! We even had an Italian man jump in for a photo! Hahaha I can n

It's been a really rainy spring here in Italy, but for this session we had perfect weather! I loved hanging out with this family and getting to know their sweet little girls. Sometimes taking photos with two toddlers can be difficult, but these two were amazing and I loved the candid shots I got of all 4 of them picking flowers and having fun. #Family #FamilyofFour #Italy #Polcenigo #FunFamilyPhotography #FamilySession

This family holds a very special place in my heart! They were the first family here in Italy to welcome us into their home, they brought us food when the movers dropped off our stuff, Paulina has shown me the walking trails in our little town of Maniago, and they have just shown us so much love since we first arrived. It's really a blessing to know this couple and to see their love for God, their family, and for others. I'm so excited for them to be welcoming another little

This family was such a pleasure to work with! I don't often get to work with bigger families, but I love it! I love the energy and the joy that surrounds them. I was so glad I was able to capture these special moments before Baby #4 made his appearance! #MaternityPhotographer #MaternitySession #MaternityPhotography #Maternity #Love #Family #Familyof6 #Pregnancy #Fregnant #Motherhood #Fatherhood

Lifestyle Newborn sessions are so so special! Capturing a family with their new addition in their own space, with their own personal touches just makes me so happy. This session was in the dreamiest Italian house complete with AMAZING natural light and a rooftop villa! Viola's daddy even pulled out his guitar and played (which they told me is a daily occurrence) while she nursed. It was beautiful and relaxing, and when Viola was done nursing she just stared at her daddy pl

I loved photographing this little family! They will be leaving Italy soon and wanted photos before they move. I'm so glad they chose me to capture them! They were so sweet and their little man was cracking me up with his faces! He was just too adorable, and that hair!!
