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.

Our second shoot together, and so much fun! ✨

Rachel came back to the studio to update her professional photos, and I love that we’re creating images that represent who she is today.

Because your photo is often the first impression someone has of you.

Before they meet you, work with you, or even talk to you, they may see your website, LinkedIn profile, social media or marketing materials.

Your photos should feel like you. Current, confident, professional and approachable.

And if you’re still using a photo from five years ago because you keep thinking, “I’ll update them when the time is right…” , consider this your sign.

You don’t need to wait for the perfect time. You just need photos that represent the woman you are right now.

Rachel, I loved having you back in front of my camera! 🤍

(And you may notice in the behind the scenes pic that Rachel’s photo from 5 years ago hangs in the studio makeup room ❤️)

If your professional photos are feeling a little outdated, let’s fix that. Send me a DM or click the link in my bio to start the conversation.

Oh how I love to photograph families, especially those with grown children. With three adult kids of my own (that now all live out of state, sigh ), I know first hand how important it is to seize these moments while you have them 🤍

Beautiful, professional photos for your business AND meaningful photos with the people you love.

Every session I photograph is customized to you, your needs, and this season of your life. You can have it all!

And no, you don’t need to be comfortable in front of the camera. That’s my job. I will guide you every step of the way.

Come as you are. I’ll take care of the rest.

Ready for photos you actually love? Send me a message and let’s get you on the calendar.

Seeing parents with their adult children in the studio is a beautiful reminder that family portraiture doesn’t stop when the kids grow up. Tom, Lori, and their daughters are truly the kindest, most loving family, and we had the absolute best time celebrating them ❤️

If it’s been a while since your last family portrait, let this be your sign! I have a few select summer studio session dates available, as well as booking September through November.

Let’s connect and talk about how you want to be photographed. Tap the link in my bio or send a direct message to secure your date.

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.

“You are my heart, my soul, and every shade of love in between.”

There is something so special about a family of four where the kids are grown, yet the bond just keeps getting deeper ❤️

Witnessing this kind of connection, and all the genuine laughter & hugs, is exactly why I love what I do. Creating family portrait heirlooms is such an honor.

A reminder that there are only 24 hours left to grab our Mother’s Day promotion. It officially ends tomorrow, May 7th, so if you’ve been wanting to capture your own family’s story, now is the time.
The link in my bio has all the details, or send me a DM.

There’s something so good about the real moments I capture during a session.

Today on Earth Day we talk a lot about nature, but I see that same beauty in the studio every day! It’s the split second when the wind catches your hair and you finally stop worrying, and start trusting me. That’s where the magic is ✨

A portrait is just a celebration of exactly where you are right now, and that is worthy of photographing.

I hear it all the time: “I’ll book a session when things settle down,” or “I’ll do it when I’m more prepared.” But life doesn’t wait for us to be ready. Just like the earth changes every day, so do we. And trust me, the time flies by faster every year!

I’m currently booking portrait sessions for the coming months and would love to help you tell your story. If you’re ready to step in front of the lens, exactly as you are today, send me a message. I’d love to chat. 🤍
