Tomorrow!! đŸŽ…đŸ»

After months of planning, The Santa Experience opens for registration tomorrow, and I am SO ready to see who will be joining us this year!

These are just a few of my favorites from last year that I haven’t shared yet, and looking through them has me ridiculously excited to see what this year brings.

If you’ve been waiting for Santa, this is your reminder to set your alarm: registration opens tomorrow.

There are a limited number of sessions available, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

All the details - including this year’s pricing, what’s included, and how the experience works - are waiting for you at the link in my bio.

See you tomorrow. đŸ€

These are the stories they’ll still be talking about on the way home.

Santa arrives with a lifetime of stories tucked into his pockets 
 like the whistle made from one of Rudolph’s very first antlers. And, if you’re lucky, he might even let you touch it. đŸ€

These are the little details I love most about The Santa Experience. There’s no rushing through a checklist of poses. There’s time to listen. To wonder. To ask questions. To hear about life at the North Pole and discover the treasures Santa has collected along the way.

Because the magic isn’t just in the photographs.

It’s in the few uninterrupted minutes when, to your child, Santa is completely, wonderfully real. đŸŽ…đŸ»

Registration for The Santa Experience in Bentonville AR opens Thursday.

Blink and you’ll miss it: somehow, five years have passed and these are just a few of the children who have grown up visiting Santa each year.

Over five years, so many of these children have gone from nervous (sometimes terrified 😅) babies and toddlers to children who run into Santa’s arms, excited to finally see him again.

Somewhere along the way, what started as a fun Christmas tradition became a record of their childhood.

It’s such a joy to watch the same children come back year after year and seeing them grow up.

Because it really does happen this fast.
Don’t blink. đŸ€

Can you believe these were all taken in just 20 minutes? 👀

If you’re looking for just a few beautiful photos of this season of life, a simplicity session might be the perfect fit.

These studio sessions are short and sweet - just enough time to create something beautiful without the time or commitment of a full signature session.

Simplicity sessions are available throughout the year at my Northwest Arkansas studio. Comment “Simplicity” and I’ll send you all the details.

The life you’re living right now is worth documenting.

The babies you’re growing. The toddlers who won’t sit still. The way your children fit into your arms. The family you’ve built and the home you’re building around them.

Take the photos. Be in them. Frame them. Put them in albums your children will flip through a hundred times.

Turn all of it into something you get to keep.

You’re allowed to want beautiful photos with your children.

The kind you want framed all over your house. The kind you stop and look at every time you walk past them. The kind that make your ordinary, everyday life look every bit as beautiful as it feels to you.

đŸ€« Want to see Santa this year?
You’re going to want to be on the list!

The Santa Experience returns November 21, and I’m already counting down the days until this room is filled with Christmas magic again.

If you’re hoping to join us this year, make sure you’re on the Nice List.

I’m sharing all the details there, including everything you need to know before registration opens.

This is your sign that maternity photos don’t have to feel like maternity photos. Intimate, feminine, and focused just as much on you as the baby you’re growing.

This is what documenting a legacy looks like.

We didn’t create it all at once. It grew over time, just like their family did.

There are maternity portraits from both pregnancies, newborn photos of each of their boys, six month milestones, and first birthdays. Eight different seasons of their family’s story, collected over the years and designed to live together in one beautiful gallery.

You don’t need to fill every wall after one session. In fact, I encourage you not to. Instead, we start with the photographs you love now, plan for where future pieces might go, and continue building onto it as your children grow.

Eventually, what started as a few beautiful photographs becomes a visual history of your family and your favorite wall in your home.
