Lad + Lass Photography came to be after a long search for a true muse– which turned out to be my own little babies!

I've loved photography since I got my hands on my first camera at 9 years old– a snazzy bright blue Kodak Pazzazz 110mm. Eventually, I was handed-down a vintage Minolta with a 35 mm lens, and I spent a good part of my high school years in the dark room, learning the art of film photography, processing, and print development. I then went on to study in Design and Fine Art Photography in college, but still didn't find a passion for any particular photography genre until 10 years later when my first baby was born.

As so many new moms do, I was amazed at the sweet little human I made, and so I picked up my DSLR and started photographing every moment I could. I didn't realize it at the time, but I finally stumbled upon my muse, and I was hooked! Over the next few years, I spent countless hours learning newborn safety and perfecting the wrapping and posing techniques specific to this unique genre of photography (it's harder than it looks!). In 2017 I officially opened Lad + Lass Photography, and have enjoyed working with so many squishy babies and wonderful families since!
