Long overdue September update!

I couldn't wait to get back to Cleveland to start serving my clients with everything I learned!!

Watch out y'all!

Bartering can be genuinely beautiful, when it's an honest exchange where both people walk away feeling good.

I've traded sessions with women in Cleveland, Ohio for hair, business coaching, social media marketing to name a few. Zero regrets on those.

But I've also learned that "can we barter?" sometimes means "I don't really want to invest" — and that's a different conversation entirely. For both of us.

Fair exchange is real exchange. That's the standard I hold for my work and I think you should too.

Have you ever had a barter that actually worked out perfectly? Drop it in the comments — I'm genuinely curious.

I am a girls girl, especially in the small business world! So if you ever was to trade services, exchange email lists, just outright support each other these are so top services I would love to work with!

3 things to make your photo session easier:
1. Get a good night's rest!!
1b. CONSIDER your kid(s) wake times and meal times. It should be a no brainer, but if you are chasing a limited time slot, that is not ever going to be a great experience.

2. SNACKS!! Before, during and after! From babies to adults, snack time will always be a part of the experience. Also take the 2 minute break.

3. Find a photographer that PLANS YOUR SESSION WITH YOU! At Wildflower by Abbey, we do NOT ever skip this step. If you go through the stress of finding outfits, coralling the troops, making sure everyone is happy and fed, make sure it is not for a mini session or someone that does not have a plan. We help you with outfit selections, the goals of the session based on artwork placement and what is truly important to you.

***Bonus!! Moms, DRESS👏YOURSELF👏FIRST👏. When you find that one outfit you feel gorgeous in, your confidence will be through the roof! Plus if you are like me, nothing ever fits when I need something super specific!!

Tell me, what tips help you feel less stressed before a photo session??

It's that time of year when you feel as if you have put off family portraits long enough.

I will be sharing with you some simple tips on how to be more comfortable and confident in front of the camera as well as creating a stress free experience with us.

Make sure you follow along!!

Too old for little kid stuff. Not quite a teenager. Somewhere in the middle of figuring out who they are. And honestly? That middle is one of the most fascinating places a person will ever be.

Simply Tweens is one niche inside the Simply Me Art Show — a black and white portrait series where kids ages 9–13 get to show up exactly as they are. Their outfit. Their props. Their expression. No direction, no "say cheese," no performance.

Just them.

The finished portrait becomes a fine art print exhibited at a real community art show, with proceeds benefiting Haven Makers — an organization supporting children battling cancer.

3–5 spots available. Comment Simply

What if a black and white fine art portrait could have flames on it?

Not metaphorical flames. Actual flames. Composite-edited, dramatically rendered, fine-art-quality flames erupting from a baseball bat. Smoke swirling around a dancer's feet. A light halo glowing behind a gymnast frozen mid-air.

That's Simply Strong.

This is a limited portrait series for athletes ages 8–14 — the kids who show up early, stay late, and play like everything is on the line. Black and white. Simple backdrop. Their gear. Their energy. And one signature creative effect that makes the portrait look exactly as powerful as they are.

Only 5 spots available. Each portrait will be featured in a community art show benefiting Haven Makers, supporting children battling cancer.

This is not a team photo. This is not a posed smile against a fake stadium background. This is fine art that says: this kid is extraordinary.

She'll grow out of the cape. Out of the tiara. Out of the dress-up mode.

It'll happen quietly. One day she just won't put it on. The wand will end up in the back of the toy bin. The tutu will stop being an everyday outfit and become a costume.

The unicorn horn will be in a box somewhere.

You'll be so busy with whoever she is becoming that you won't notice the exact moment she left this version of herself behind.

That's why this portrait is for later.

For the day you open that box and find the horn. For when she's twelve and rolling her eyes a little and you show her — this is who you were. You were a full-time princess. You were a unicorn. You were a superhero every single day.

This portrait is for that moment.

Simply Wild is closing soon. Final spots — book or get on the waitlist. Link in bio.

She's only going to be this age for about five more minutes.

The unicorn horn that goes with everything. The way she moves deliberately because unicorns are majestic and she genuinely knows this. The name she insists on — Stardust, Moonbeam, something she decided.

Right now this is just who she is. Like breathing.

In a few years, she'll be something else entirely. She'll grow into new things and leave this version of herself behind. And you'll love that version too.

But this one. This specific one. The one who is currently a unicorn and sees no reason to be anything else.

This is the portrait I want to make.

Simply Wild. Final spots. Tell me about your unicorn.

Why black and white? Why a simple backdrop? Especially for a three-year-old?

Honest answer: because three-year-olds are a lot.

In the best possible way. Their faces do twelve things a minute. Their body language is expressive in every direction. They are, at any given moment, on the edge of a huge feeling.

Color distracts from all of that.

When you strip the image down to black and white, the eye goes straight to the face. To the expression. To the energy. To the thing that is actually interesting about a child — which is not their outfit or the carefully styled set. It's them.

And a simple backdrop? Same logic. Nothing behind them competes for attention.

There's a reason editorial portrait photographers have used this approach for decades. It works. It ages beautifully. It turns a photograph into a piece of art instead of a snapshot.

That's what I want for you. An actual work of art. One that looks like your kid at exactly this age.

I'm looking for a very specific kid.

The cape has been on since Halloween. Not the Halloween costume cape — though also that cape. The every-single-day cape.

It goes to school. It goes to the grocery store. It went to your cousin's birthday party and your in-laws' house for Easter. You stopped fighting it approximately six months ago and honestly? Same.

They have a pose. They know their powers. They are fully in character at all times. Their name is their superhero name, or close to it, or they're still deciding.

This kid was made for a portrait session. Specifically this one.

Simply Wild. Black and white. Black backdrop. Their cape. Their pose. Pure commitment.

2 spots available. DM me or comment SIMPLY below and I'll send you the details.
