Still can't believe I got to be part of this Fresh 48 session. 💕 There is something so special
about those first hours after your baby is born. It's such an honor to be invited into those moments and capture these memories.

Congratulations to my beautiful friend and her sweet family. I am so happy for you guys.

Hosting a very woodsy, whimsical mini session day toward the end of July 🤎🌳🪾
I haven’t hosted a mini session since last year, and with baby boy due in September, I probably won’t be doing them again for quite a while… so this one’s going to be SPECIALLLLLL. ✨

Question I’ve gotten a lot lately: “Are you still taking photos?” 📸

Yes!! I just haven’t been super active on social media lately. Truthfully, I’m trying to slow down and really enjoy this season of life, especially before baby #2 gets here. We have a busy summer planned already. I’m very lucky that photography gets to be my creative outlet while being a mom is my full-time thing.

Last summer, I booked myself up like crazy and constantly had a full editing plate. I realized I don’t have to do that to myself in this stage of life. So yes, I’m still booking photos — just being a little more selective with my schedule and a little quieter on here lately.

Thank you to my clients who continue to book me and support me. Ily you guys 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Obsessed with this greenhouse session at Proclamation Flowers 🌿✨ their setup is seriously a dream. They just released their summer photo slots—go check out their site before they fill up! If you grab one, message me and we’ll get your session booked. I loved shooting there all last summer.

May through the end of summer is officially Smiley Reds season ☀️ my books are OPENNNN and I have so many fun ideas planned. Let’s make some magic before baby arrives in September 🤍📸

IMPORTANT INFO 📸📸📸
Hi everyone!! 🤍 I hope you’ve all been having a wonderful winter ❄️
Just a friendly reminder to please DOWNLOAD your galleries and save them to a safe place.

I’ve been using Pixieset for a little over a year now and have fully transitioned from Pic-Time. Since I’ll be ending Pic-Time soon, all Pic-Time galleries will expire starting March 1st.

If you had photos taken with me in 2024 or earlier, this applies to you! If you do not save your galleries by then, there’s absolutely nothing I can do.
Thank you so much ☺️🤍
