Successfully surprised my best friend for her birthday by showing up at her front door in HAWAII. 😂

So until further notice, I am officially OUT OF OFFICE and will be busy pretending I live here now.

Replies may be a little delayed while I’m off soaking up the sun, drinking something overpriced, and spending some much needed time with some of my favorite humans. I’ll still be checking in when I can and will get back to you as soon as possible.

ALSO. All proofing galleries have officially been sent out, so if you’re waiting on yours, check your email! And maybe your spam folder, because apparently we can’t trust technology to behave.

Now if you need me…I’m unavailable for comment. I’m in Hawaii. 🌺

Sweet Amanda and her Rhodey tucked away in the wildflowers. 🥹🌸

There’s just something about these little in between moments that gets me. The giggles, the snuggles, the tiny hands picking flowers, and the way they look at each other when they think nobody’s watching.

This is the kind of childhood I want to remember forever. Wild, messy, sweet, and full of little moments that go by way too fast. 🤍

Just a reminder from your neighborhood photographer, because I think this conversation is worth having.

I will not post your kiddo’s face on my social media, website, or anywhere else without YOUR consent. If you tell me you don’t want your child’s photos shared publicly, I respect that. Period.

And while we’re talking about protecting kids online, I also want to be transparent about something else. I do not upload my clients’ images into AI programs.

That’s an intentional choice I’ve made for my business. I’m a mom. I photograph a LOT of children. I’m not interested in handing over images of someone else’s babies to an AI system just because it might make my job easier.

But I also think we need to be careful about where we’re directing our outrage.

A photographer who has permission from a child’s parent to share an image is not the same thing as someone taking, manipulating, distributing, or exploiting a child’s image without consent.

If you don’t want your child online, I will never pressure you into allowing it. And if you DO give me permission to share your family’s photos, I’m going to respect that decision too.

Our kids are growing up in a world where cameras and technology are everywhere. School. Sporting events. Stores. Doorbell cameras. Phones. Cloud storage. Social media. AI.

So maybe the conversation needs to be bigger than “photographers shouldn’t post kids anymore.”

Who has access to our children’s images? What are companies allowed to do with them? What protections exist when technology changes faster than the laws?

Protect children. Demand better laws. Hold lawmakers accountable. Understand the technology we’re willingly giving access to our families.

But let’s make sure we’re villainizing the right people.

I’ll always respect a parent who says, “Please don’t post my child.” And I’ll continue to respect the parents who say, “Yes, you can share these.”

Both families deserve that choice. 🤍📸

Danielle and Vincent had the sweetest little elopement, even if Mother Nature decided to throw us a plot twist. 😂

It started absolutely pouring as soon as we started, so we had to pivot our plans and make a little magic with what we had. Honestly, I think the rain just made their day that much more memorable.

And I’ve always heard rain on your wedding day is good luck, so I’m choosing to believe these two are set for a lifetime of it. 🤍

Stop, because why does Vivian look like an actual angel?! 😭

She and Kai took me to this beautiful little secret spot for their session, and I’d say it was VERY worth the adventure. These two made my job way too easy.

I cannot wait to meet this sweet baby. 🤍

Ashley texted me and asked if I could take some photos of her and her sweet Ellie, and man, did we have a freaking ball. 😂

There’s something extra special about photographing another photographer. It’s always an honor when a colleague trusts me to capture the people and memories that mean the most to them.

And obviously, Ellie understood the assignment. 🥹🐶

There’s just something about watching your kids be completely obsessed with you.

This was supposed to be a photo of Florentina on the swing, but obviously the girls needed to be right there with her. And honestly, I think that makes the photo.

These little in-between moments are my favorite to photograph. The ones that happen because nobody is trying too hard to make them happen.

Also, can we talk about this light? Because golden hour was showing OFF. 🤌

Getting to introduce sweet little babies like Harrison to the world will never get old. 🥹

I think my favorite part of newborn sessions will always be the tiny details. The little fingers, squishy cheeks, newborn hair, teeny toes. All the things that, as moms, we know are going to change wayyyy too fast.

Because somehow you blink and they don’t fit curled up on your chest anymore.

So yeah, I’m always going to take the detail shots. 🤍 I’m so honored families trust me to capture these little pieces of their babies exactly as they are right now.
