Taking a very intentional slow start back, but it has been the sweetest. You all never fail to remind me what an amazing community we have here.

Each month I’ll be releasing a limited amount of open dates that will be available on a first come first serve.
I also truly love my mini days and am in the works of building out some fun sets for those. Stay tuned for what we have planned there!

Very on the nose with this one…. But almost forgot this was the whole point yesterday.
Today it’s not lost on me.

Who said a cake smash is only for the first birthday?
We love a good birthday photoshoot whether it’s for the first birthday cake smash or any birthday after!

We've been testing out keepsake videos and may be slighly obsessed with adding this on to sessions.

These little videos will be available as add ons to sessions. Think home video meets photoshoot, another sweet little way to document these memories.

I want to know what you all want to see offered starting with Mini Sessions.
I always have so many ideas and plans constantly flowing through my head. I do a lot of these questions on my stories, but sometimes parenting gives me a hard turn and I don't get to see the answers in time. So let's try it this way!

I currently only have Beach Minis still scheduled right now (and yes bookings are open for those). Tell me how you feel about the minis in general. Are you excited when they're released? Do you wish there were more? What kind of minis would you like to see offered?

Tell me all your thoughts and feelings cause I really do want to know so I can provide a better experience! Also if you don't want to comment here but have thoughts, my messages are always open.

New blog post alert!
We know the question; to book the newborn session or not to book? So we decided to share a little about our thoughts on why, if you decide to book any session during this parenthood journey, a newborn session is the way to go.

Welcoming a new life into your family is a momentous occasion filled with joy, wonder, and a flurry of new experiences. Amidst the sleepless nights and countless diaper changes, there's a profound beauty in the everyday moments that define early parenthood (even if you’ve done this before). Captur...

Community Shout Out

You all know my love for small businesses so I'm really going to start making it a priority to really share more of the places I frequent (because everyone should visit once or twice....or more if they have the chance).

This week we want to give some love to the place that keeps my mornings going whether I'm running around or getting work done at home. is the sweetest little spot in Downtown Bethel. I've brought a few of you here for meetings and you all always leave saying the same thing, "that was such a good spot!"
The owners, Victor and Paula, are the sweetest humans who have this amazing knack for remembering everyone and people's stories. Truly a place that fills my heart and cup in every way.

Just over here reminding myself that these rainy days are going to create the prettiest backdrops (and if it keeps on raining this is what the studio is for).

Now that the weather is also getting warmer, I'll be annoyingly reminding ya'll to bring that water and bug spray to sessions. Our location spots are super dreamy, but sometimes it means a little bit of walk or running through some tall grass.

Saturdays Motherhood Minis got rained out so we’re in rescheduled mode. Here’s what that means: we reschedule based off of each slots availability and what matches ours. So no set day now.

Since we still had 3 open spots left originally, I’m taking on 3 more Motherhood Minis at the mini day pricing. We will pick a day/time together so it fits into your schedule.

I had so many of you wanting to sign up but the day didn’t work, so I think the rain heard y’all to make this happen 🤍
