Skelton Family Fall 2022
It has been such a wonderful experience working with Lindsay Konopa and Julia Wadsworth over the past year and a half. We started with maternity pictures last summer, then added Roan’s newborn session, a spring family session, Roan’s one-year photos, and one last family session to round out our series just a few weeks ago. Please check out Lindsay’s work here and Julia’s work here. I cannot rave about them enough. They are easy to work with, great with kids, and they both create such beautiful and REAL work. I can’t wait to work them both again.

Breastfeeding and Pumping Essentials
Breastfeeding is no joke. It is such a difficult thing to do in many ways- planning your day around feedings, figuring out what to do and how to pump when you have to be away from baby, storing milk, finding the best pump for you, etc. It’s a lot. With my son Lake, I was new to breastfeeding and felt like I learned something new every day about tips and tricks, what to do and not to do. One of my biggest regrets is not joining a support group (one I found on Facebook that I joined when he was about nine months old) sooner. I instantly felt connected to…

The Skeltons: Family and Maternity Pictures July 2021
Thank you so much to Lindsay Kokopa Photography for the amazing pictures of our growing family. Lake’s maternity pictures were taken on the beach at Lake Michigan, so I wanted something similar to that feel but unique to baby girl. This perfect spot on a Geist Reservoir dock felt so right. The water was gorgeous and Lake loved counting all the fishies around the shore. I canot get over how big my Lake looks in these pictures, taken just before his second birthday.
