✨📸 DID YOU KNOW STUDIO SESSIONS ARE AN OPTION?!

I'm excited to share that I have access to a studio space owned by another photographer that I can rent by the hour for our sessions! 🤍

If you're wanting something different from an outdoor session or looking for a specific studio vibe, this is a great option to bring your vision to life! 🪩✨

A few things to know: 🤍 Studio sessions must be planned in advance. 📸 The studio is rented by the hour. ✨ An additional studio rental fee will apply on top of your regular session fee.

Have an idea in mind that would be perfect for a studio session? Let's make it happen! Send me a message, and we can plan something fun! 📷

🤍📸 5 THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOUR FAMILY SESSION!

Want to make the most of your family photoshoot? Here are 5 things to do before your session so you can show up feeling prepared and ready to make some memories! ✨

👗 1. Plan your outfits
Choose coordinating colors instead of matching everyone exactly! Think neutral tones, earthy colors, and outfits that make everyone feel comfortable.

💬 2. Talk to your kids about the session
Let them know we're going to have fun! No pressure for perfect smiles — the silly, candid moments are often the best ones. 🫶🏼

💤 3. Make sure everyone is rested and fed
Especially the little ones! A good nap and a snack before your session can make a BIG difference.

🧺 4. Pack the essentials
Bring snacks, water, wipes, a hairbrush, and anything else you might need for quick touch-ups.

🤍 5. Don't stress about perfection
Your family doesn't have to pose perfectly or have everyone smiling at the same time. Just be yourselves, love on each other, and enjoy the moment! Some of the sweetest photos happen in between the poses. ✨

📸 Save this post for your next family session!

🎄❤️ YOU ASKED, AND I LISTENED! ❤️🎄

After asking what kind of mini sessions you’d love to see, so many of you said CHRISTMAS MINIS! And honestly, I couldn’t be more excited! 🥹

I’ve decided to open up a few spots for Christmas Mini Sessions! Think cozy, classic Christmas with a little country charm. 🤍🎄 These will be PERFECT for updating those family photos and getting pictures for your Christmas cards! ❤️

Spots will be limited, but if we need to add more times, we absolutely can! If you see a time listed that doesn’t work for you, send me a message, and we can try to find something that does! 🫶🏻

✨ SENIOR SPOTLIGHT ✨

Meet Ada Rider, Henry High School Class of 2027! 🎓🤍

One of their favorite high school memories was serving as student council president and getting the opportunity to make a positive impact on the students and staff around them. ❤️

✈️ Plans After Graduation: Ada plans to attend SDSU in the fall of 2027, majoring in aviation and minoring in business, with the long-term goal of becoming a commercial pilot!

🌎 Fun Fact: Ada already flies planes and is working toward her private pilot’s license! She also loves to travel. How cool is that?!

💌 What She’ll Miss Most: The small-school atmosphere, the amazing staff and students, and all the connections she's made along the way… and even the homework! 😉

📸 Favorite Part of her Session: Spending time with Aubrie, driving around, and exploring the hills to find the perfect spots for pictures! There’s nothing better than an adventure-filled session with beautiful views. 🤍

Ada, it was so much fun capturing this exciting season of life with you! Wishing you all the best as you chase your dreams, take to the skies, and begin this next chapter. The sky is truly the limit! ✈️✨
