You just bring the baby… and maybe a coffee the size of your head. ☕️👶✨

🎀 Fresh to the world and already wrapped in more love than she’ll ever know.
Tiny fingers, sleepy sighs, and a sweetness that settles into every corner of the room.

There’s nothing quite like meeting a baby girl in her very first chapter. 💗

Six months of sweet little victories—sitting tall, grabbing toes, belly laughs that fill the whole room.

Half a year of growing, glowing, and showing off that big baby personality.
This milestone is pure magic, and she’s nailing every bit of it.

Home is where her story began… tiny breaths, sleepy stretches, and the sweetest little girl wrapped in all the love that already belongs to her.

There’s nothing quite like documenting a family in their own space—unposed, unhurried, and completely wrapped up in their newest little miracle.

Love is messy… and so is turning one. ♥Sprinkles flying, frosting everywhere, and the sweetest little Valentine right in...

Love is messy… and so is turning one. ♥

Sprinkles flying, frosting everywhere, and the sweetest little Valentine right in the middle of it all.

There is no deadline for documenting your baby.

4 weeks.
8 weeks.
12 weeks.

They’re still tiny.
They’re still yours.
And they’re still worth remembering.

✨ Three girls, one glitter cloud, endless magic ✨
Teagan, Ellie, and Raelynn turned the studio into a sparkle storm in the sweetest way. Giggles bouncing off the walls, glitter in their hair, and that perfect mix of chaos and charm only best friends (or cousins, or sisters!) can bring. Every frame felt like a little celebration of girlhood and glittery joy.

✨ Delilah didn’t just play in the glitter—she owned the sparkle ✨
With every tiny grin, she turned the studio into her own little fairytale. Soft shimmer on her cheeks, giggles floating through the air, and enough glow to brighten the whole day. Pure, effortless magic.

My Story

I’m just a small town girl who loves to tell stories with her camera! I am a graduate of The New York Institute of Photography and I specialize in newborn, child, and family portraiture. I want to give you the BEST memories possible from your session, so I don’t do a lot of strict posing or planning. I just want you and your precious babes to have some fun while I document the whole thing!

My editing style is vintage film inspired for outdoor sessions and timeless classic for studio sessions. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the babies! Newborns are my jam! This time in your child’s life is so fleeting and precious and you’re going to want to document it!

I’ve lived in Nicholas County, Kentucky for the entirety of my life. I live with my fabulous hubby, my three fantastic kiddos, three dogs, and a cat. That’s my baby’s newborn photo up there! My family owns a small hobby farm with several alpacas, a few llamas, a couple of miniature donkeys, a miniature horse, and a regular sized horse, too. I’m obsessed with all things llama and unicorn!

I started my photography business in October 2012 and I just couldn’t imagine ever doing anything else! I love love love what I do, so...
