• Welcome to Once Upon…Photography

    Once upon a time, I picked up a camera and fell in love. That was years and years ago. Even before that, I fell in love with words. Coupled, pictures and words weave beautiful stories, and I have been writing my own for years.

    And now I would love to write YOUR story.

Once Upon…A Miracle Child

All children are miracles, but some are harder to get than others. Parents Josh and Shae waited for 5 long years, but Aurora was worth every second of that wait.

“While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.”

-Angela Schwindt

Shae saw an idea somewhere about doing a series of photos in larger clothing that one’s child would eventually grow into. So here we start at age one.

What I love most about these shots is how mom is helping daughter. It immediately brings to mind scenes from many years later when Shae will be helping Aurora dress for prom and then…her wedding. Oh, I’m so sorry, Mom. I didn’t mean to make you think that far ahead. Or maybe what I mean is, hold on! Time flies and our babies grow way too fast.

Aurora is quite the firecracker and just too cute for words.

Little girls are full of emotion. They express it well and without apology. Wait for it…

Sunshine Girl!

“Her angel’s face,
As the great eye of heaven shined bright,
And made a sunshine in the shady place.”

Something I enjoy doing with all my clients is including (for their eyes only) the fun outtakes. But since this is a wee little one, she won’t mind this little collage of the cutest “outtake” faces.
