This Mother’s Day, I had the joy of teaming up with realtor Modesty Ray to host a little photo event at Lincoln Brewhouse for mothers in our community. We invited families to stop by, slow down for a moment, and walk away with a few special memories.

Here are a some sweet moments from the day - because moms deserve to be in the photos too 🤍

✨ $65 GIFT CERTIFICATES FOR 2026 SESSIONS ✨

These will only be available for a few more days 🫶🏼

Last year I took a huge step away from photography… from everything, really. From past experiences, taking care of my babies, navigating Kindergarten with a diagnosis for my girl, and a few months worth of tests and appointments for myself, I didn’t hold the capacity to take on anything more. Life’s been crazy, busy, and honestly just difficult this year but I finally feel like we’re all getting back to ourselves and finding a new normal.

With that being said, I do want to start back booking a few sessions here and there in 2026. I’ve missed meeting new people, hanging out with old friends I’ve picked up along the way, and getting to take sweet photos.

SO! I am offering “GIFT CERTIFICATES” to be used at any time during 2026! HERE ARE THE DETAILS…

• $65 total
• 15 minute session
• No limit on images
• Outdoor only - no studio or themed sessions
• Can not be used as credits towards anything else

These must be paid in full. You will receive an email with a code to use when you’re ready to book your session. It will be your responsibility to reach out when you are ready. These will expire on December 31, 2026.

MESSAGE ME TO GET YOURS!

I know I have been MIA lately and I’m not sure if or when I’ll be back to doing photography regularly, but it wasn’t even a question whether or not I would offer these again this year 🥹
