The Pitt family + baby Elenna 💗

Tiny toes and sleepy smiles, wrapped up in a whole lot of country love beneath the peaks of Capella. Sweet baby Elenna already one month new has found her place right at the heart of her family, where cuddles are plenty and love runs deep. With those rugged hills standing quietly in the background, it’s clear she’s growing up surrounded by wide-open skies, strong roots, two dotting siblings and the kind of love that always feels like home.

Baby Connie, three weeks new. She just melted my soul 🩷 her big sister Ettie never to far away, and absolutely every bit of the dotting big sister. An afternoon filled with laughter, golden light and newborn scrunches has my cup filling up. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl Mariah & Pat, may your arms be full and your hearts be fuller 🩷🩷

A bit behind on time but better late then never! Merry christmas & Happy New Year, everyone! ✨ 2026 is officially here, and I'm so excited for everything this year holds!

Looking back, 2025 for me was full of incredible moments and many hard times. We welcomed the birth of our fourth son (~highlight~) and said sad goodbyes to too many family & friends (~lowlight~) and through most of the year I absolutely overcommitted myself to way to much (with four blessings by my side and the rest) including following my photography passion. But thanks to my amazing support network of family and friends and my understanding equally amazing clients we managed to get though the year 😆🎉

From weddings to family portraits, newborns and gorgeous formal sessions, I'm so grateful I got to capture your precious memories.

This year, we already have so much coming up and I’m so excited to get back into the swing of things.
If you're looking to capture new family memories, create some self love bo***ir moments, have a fairy tale wedding to story book or its your year to graduate or just inquire about any services, I'd love to work with you! My calendar is open for bookings. 📸 ☀️ 😊

This year kicked off with a high, the gorgeous Creedon family who traveled across from Clermont and came to visit me down by the creek flats.  My gosh, little baby Addie had the most beautiful eyes with a smile to melt. Both Lara and Finlay every bit of the doting, smitten and in love parents. It was a golden afternoon filled with love and laughter.

Spent an afternoon last week chasing giggles & twirling around in the sun with the most excited big sister to be.
Little Ettie has grown so much, remembering what felt like just a short while ago I was capturing her moment as a bump then a newborn! How time flies 😌 Eagerly excited to meet the newest addition to the O’Brien family, Mariah and Patt soak up every little moment, it sure does go by so fast and all the very best when welcoming your newest blessing to the family.
