🚨 HOT GIRL SUMMER? NO.
90’S KID SUMMER? Absolutely. ☀️

We’re bringing back the backyard sprinkler babysitter,
the lake trips, the sticky lemonade fingers.
We all remember the summer evenings that felt like they would last forever. And while those days feel like a lifetime ago, I’m making it my personal mission to infuse as much of that feeling as I can into these summer sessions.
I’ve put together a handful of 90’s heavy, nostalgic concepts that are all about having FUN.
No stiff posing. No pressure.
Let’s give these kids (and ourselves) a taste of how great our childhood was, and make some serious core memories while we’re at it.

Comment “SUMMER” and I’ll send you everything you need to know! ☀️
If you’re ready to capture the kind of memories your family will look back on for years to come, these sessions are available for just $325 (a $425 value) with only $50 due to reserve your spot.

Proof that date morning > everything else ✨

I had the best time capturing all of this—honestly, third wheeling your dates might be my new favorite thing 😂

This was the very first of the Date Night series, and wow… you all showed up and made it something so special. Thank you for trusting me, leaning into the moment, and bringing this whole vision to life. You’re the magic behind it all 🤍

And shoutout to for setting the scene perfectly.☕️🥐

Round two is coming soon… and if you want first dibs, make sure you’re on the VIP list 👀✨

I really thought this would be a “maybe a few people book” kind of idea.
Instead… it sold out within a week.
Which tells me this is something people have been wanting—they just didn’t have a name for it yet.
Something more real than a traditional session.
Something that actually feels like a date.
The first one is happening in a couple days, and I’m already planning the next drop—which will be a completely different experience than this coffee date.
This one’s going to be louder, more playful, a little competitive 👀
If you want early access before it opens to everyone else, the VIP list is where that happens!
Comment VIP and I'll add you to the list ✨

I’ve been thinking a lot about how couples rarely have photos of themselves outside of milestones.
Engagement.
Wedding.
Maybe maternity.

But what about the middle?
The random weeknight energy.
The coffee dates.
The way you laugh at each other when no one else is paying attention.
The season you’re in right now — whatever that looks like.
That’s why I created the Date Night Series.

Not as a mini session.
Not as a stiff, overly posed shoot.
But as an actual date — documented.

You show up.
You hang out.
You be yourselves.

I quietly capture the story as it unfolds.
Because your relationship deserves to be photographed in the in-between — not just the big moments.

Each month will be a limited drop.
New vibe. New location. Intentional atmosphere.
Small, curated sessions so it never feels rushed.
And since it’s Valentine’s Day… it felt like the right time to finally launch it.

To celebrate, I’m giving one couple their first Date Night experience on me 💘

Let’s romanticize the ordinary.
Let’s document this season.

I’m launching a new Date Night Photo Series 🎉🍾📸
Because date night should be more than once a year, and EVERY date night deserves more than a selfie.

These are monthly themed couple sessions designed to feel like an actual date, not a stiff shoot.
Think:
real laughs, real connection, new environments +
zero awkward posing.

Each month = new vibe + location
Each drop = limited spots

Consider date night handled.
Limited launch spots open now!
