Swipe to see where it all started …

13 years ago, before I had my studio space, I used to rent hotel rooms for day rates to follow my dream, and bring this style of portraiture to life.

Beautiful Melanie, in both of these photos, has stepped in front of my lens so many times over the years. We’ve not only celebrated her her accomplishments, her milestone birthdays, but have also created family & branding portraits together. More than half of my business comes from women coming back to document different seasons of their lives, and I never take that trust for granted.

To every client who has trusted me, whether in a rented hotel room 13 years ago or in my studio today, thank you. Capturing your story across the years is the greatest privilege of my life.❤️

The last time Dana was in my studio, her boys were little enough to sit on her lap!

Ten years later, she came back to celebrate exactly who she is right now, embracing her gorgeous natural gray hair and loving this season of life.

Towards the end of her session, her husband and her grown sons joined in for updated family and couples portraits. I loved helping her with every detail, right down to coordinating the family’s wardrobe so the whole day felt completely easy & stress free.

A portrait session can be whatever you need it to be. A day of celebrating you, a family shoot, or both.

I truly love my job, and the incredible women I get to celebrate 🤍

Your portrait session doesn’t have to be just one thing.

This one started with Aimee enjoying girls morning out just for her, personal branding portraits & fun photos in her favorite outfit!

Then her husband joined us at the end for portraits together and some updated headshots of his own.

Portrait sessions can be whatever you need it to be right now. A little personal. A little professional. A little fun. Maybe even all three.

Together we design your ideal portrait session. If you’ve been thinking about doing something but aren’t quite sure what you need, let’s talk. We can figure it out together. ❤️

Your branding photos don’t all have to look like everyone else. They can be expressive, relaxed, full of personality… and actually feel like YOU. Always my top priority.

When it comes to showing up for your business, having beautiful images that feel like you can make all the difference.

And you don’t have to figure any of it out yourself. Professional hair & makeup, full wardrobe guidance, and posing direction are all part of the branding experience. You just show up. I’ll take it from there. ✨

Happy first day of fall 🍁
And just like that the holidays are sneaking up on us again! Which means now is the time to start planning those family photos you’ve been thinking about.

Maybe you bring the entire family, or three generations together. Maybe it’s just a girls morning out mother & daughter. These are the photographs that trust me, become more meaningful and special with time ❤️

Family photos are about remembering this version of your family. The way you laughed together, and the relationships that make your family yours.

And I want you to actually enjoy the experience of making them. You don’t have to worry about what to wear, how to pose, what to do with your hands, or whether everyone will behave. 😂. I take care of all of that. Hair and makeup, wardrobe, guidance, posing, lighting, and all the little details that make the experience feel easy and fun.

Your only job is to show up and enjoy your day with your family. We’ll make some beautiful memories, have some fun, and great photographs that you’ll love having on your walls.

If you are thinking about holiday cards, this is also your gentle reminder that October is a pretty good time to make it happen!

Message me and let’s start the conversation about your ideal session.

There’s something so special about photographing the same woman more than once✨

Meet Dana. Entrepreneur & business owner, who gives and helps others every single day! It’s been five years since her last session, and Dana came back to update her headshots for her business website and social profiles. She also wanted to create some gorgeous magazine style portraits to celebrate this season of her life.

And here’s the funny part - Dana walked into her reveal worried she might not love the images. A feeling I hear ALL the time! Then she saw them. And loved them all.

This is why I’m so grateful for repeat clients. Because the experience gets better every time! I get to watch women see themselves differently in each chapter, and I get to help them document it. Best job ever 🤍

If you’ve been thinking about having photos taken but keep waiting for the ‘right time’, maybe this is your sign. Trust me, every version of you deserves to be seen & celebrated. Not just the person you want to be tomorrow…

Send me a DM and let’s talk about your session, I’d love to connect with you.

Modern Empowering Portrait Experience
You CAN have it all in one session✨

Seven years ago I photographed Lori & her girls. Incredibly special to have them back in the studio ❤️

Portraits from their last session are still hanging on their walls. Lori knew it was time for an update before the girls schedules get busier, and the new life chapters begin.

When Lori saw this image of the three of them for the first time, she said, “ This is the dream photo I’ve always wanted of me and my girls.” Those are moments I will never take for granted, and never forget.

I’m so grateful to be trusted to capture these memories, and to watch families grow and come back through the years. Love my work so very much!

Summer has a way of bringing everyone together for a little while. If family portraits have been on your heart for a while, maybe this is your reminder. Reach out and let’s talk about your dream photos.

Stop waiting for the ‘perfect’ version of yourself to arrive. She’s already here 🤍

We waste so many years hiding from the camera. We tell ourselves we’ll book the session after we lose 10lbs, or when life feels less chaotic.

The Legacy Project is about capturing you, your real laughter, the person that everyone loves today! It’s a fully guided portrait experience designed for women over 50 who are ready to finally see themselves they way the people who love them do 🤍

I am photographing 25 women this year for this project, and would love for you to be one of them. I’d you’r ready to celebrate your story, click link in bio to learn more.

You realize one day these photos become priceless. ❤️

I photographed these three generations 4 years ago (!), and looking back at them today feels even more meaningful than it did then. The laughter, the stories, so much fun & love. It wasn’t just a portrait session, it was a day of making lasting memories.

These are the sessions I love most. Mothers, daughters, grandmothers … the connection between generations is something so beautiful to witness and preserve. And almost every time, someone says, “I’m so glad we did this now.”

I find myself wishing I had taken more photos with my own mom while I had the chance. Just more moments together that I could hold in my hands today.

If you’ve been thinking about documenting your family, this is your gentle reminder that there never has to be a “perfect” time to be photographed together. ❤️

Message me, I’d love to connect with you.
