Hey, I’m Whitney!

I’m 41, love to wear sweatpants everywhere, and I drink a lot of coffee. I am also a mom, which doesn’t totally define, but man that shit is consuming as much as it is amazing. I love to laugh about how chaotic my life is and I find a lot of humor in things that also make me have anxiety. In my second act of life, I want to be a stand-up comedian. Not because I try to be funny, I just deal with life through sarcasm. I also have an empathetic heart… it’s my one measure for making sure I am not a complete asshole. One of my most favorite things that my husband said to me when we met was, “you’re not crazy and neither am I… we are just each others’ kind of crazy.”

My first baby. ❤️
Technically I am a family photographer. So technically that’s what I should post here and market here, right? And as much as I truly love that, I also have so many other sides to me as a photographer. So maybe I’ll just keep messing up m
Happy (early) Father’s Day to my husband and these three lucky kiddo’s dad, Brett. Prior to us having our first, I always thought “Brett’s going to be such a good dad” (which has turned out to be true), but wow was I sup
Perfect Friday afternoon activity ❤️ #cupcakes4kidschallenge
I haven’t intentionally been silent here. I have been over on my personal account @coolwhit sharing resources and engaging today for #blackouttuesday
May the greatest thing I ever do in my life be raising my children to honor, respect, and celebrate everyone who is different from them. I am committed to teaching them to be the change and to speak out on injustices. I also know that if any of my ch
Having a baby during a pandemic has been pretty crazy. I was so sad that my photographer couldn’t attend my birth but while I was in labor the hospital’s photographer from @heartfilmsandphotography came in and asked if we wanted a birth s
There are so many levels of crazy going on these days, but I have to say sheltering in place with little kids is so next level 😂. Everyday I wake up and go through a short cycle that goes like this: a new day! What shall we do today? Oh wait, we can
*fall 2019* I watched an IGTV post from @glennondoyle today about screen time and kids during this pandemic and she made so many excellent points, but my favorite was this: she discussed how she ran her own preschool for a period of time and that she
Oh how I wish I were sitting back on these steps in Brooklyn, hanging out with a bunch of photographers... sharing lots of laughs and goals for our businesses and working towards growth. I had no idea what was coming and little had to do with the apo
This is some crazy times, y’all. I think that we are all trying to muscle through it with various levels of “what in the f***”. I know I am 😂. Having an hour telecom therapy session Monday, though, really helped me work out some of
I love photographing parents and having them tell me all about how they first met. I also have them tell me what they love about each other while I make them get super close and snap the sweetest shots of the two looking and giggling. It’s jus
This little babe is about to make her big debut! ❤️
Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️! We don’t all need a partner to live a fulfilled life but all need to be loved fiercely and completely. So wherever you are today, I hope someone in your life holds you right and tells you just how amazing you are
I’ve been reading the book Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. It’s so amazing. I saw the movie last month and am loving the book. Have you read it? Seen it?
When my sisters and we’re little, my middle sister sucked her fingers like this. I, myself, was a thumb sucker. And now my almost 3 year old is a thumb sucker. I’m sure dentists and orthodontists would disagree, but I think all of the fin
Parents with their grown children ❤️. I love chatting it up with the families I photograph. I really do want to get to know them and hear about their lives. The dad told me, “the best advice I can give any parent is to just treat your kids with
39. Cheers to a year that is all about growth and by growth I mean therapy. Let’s do this ❤️ 📷 @elenasblair_photography
During this session the wind was crazy! To maintain happiness for the little one, we all sang Itsy Bitsy Spider on repeat until we were all laughing. I love it when families make the best of some tough conditions and remember that laughter is the be
As we all come down from the high of the holidays, let’s bring it in for snuggle because love is really the best gift of them all. It was a great fall season and I’ve shared about 1% of the images I took... so here comes a lot of content
