There’s something magical about capturing kids exactly as they are.

No posing. No prompting. Just letting them explore, play, snuggle, and simply be themselves.

I find myself coming back to these images over and over. There’s just so much to see in them. They tell a story, and somehow, they feel like the pieces of childhood you’ll want to remember forever. 🤍 🥹
Forever grateful that I get to preserve these little pieces of their childhood for us to hold onto.

🎄 The time has come!! 🎄

All of my holiday mini session booking links are officially LIVE and open to everyone.

I've worked hard to offer more dates, more time slots, and more session options than ever before because of the demand these sessions receive each year. While it may look like there are plenty of openings right now, they do tend to book quickly, so don't wait too long!

Sometimes family photos are planned months in advance.

Sometimes they’re pulled together in the middle of a holiday week because someone knows the moment is too important to miss.

When I got the call, there was no hesitation. We found a time, made it work, and captured memories that can never be recreated.

It’s a reminder that you never regret taking the photos.

🎅 Santa is coming... and this year, there's something new. 🍪

For six years, families have made The Santa Experience part of their Christmas tradition. This year, I'm excited to introduce something brand new.

✨ Two magical Santa experiences. One unforgettable Christmas.

🍪 Cookies with Santa invites families into Santa's kitchen for an experience inspired by fresh-baked cookies, sweet moments, and unforgettable memories.

🎄 The Santa Experience is back for its 6th year, bringing the classic Santa portraits so many families look forward to each Christmas.

I've also added three exclusive 20-minute sessions for families wanting a little extra time with Santa.

✨ Booking is now open! Explore both experiences and choose the one that's the perfect fit for your family.

Calling on my Facebook family! 🤍 🍂

Now that Fall Minis are officially on the calendar, it's time to decide on this year's location.

I have several beautiful go-to spots that I absolutely love, but every year I find myself wondering... Have I overlooked somewhere incredible?

Some of my favorite locations over the years have come from you all and I'm so thankful for the relationships that have made that possible.

If you own, know of, or have access to a beautiful field, family farm, tree-lined property, or another spot that would make a gorgeous backdrop, I'd love to hear about it- you can just send me a message on here or a text!

And don't overthink it! The places you see every day might be exactly what I'm looking for. ✨

It's officially that time...

Every year since I opened my business, I've started booking my Santa sessions on the Fourth of July.

This year... I just couldn't do it.

Summer is already short enough and I wanted us all to enjoy the beach trips, baseball games, vacations, popsicles, late sunsets, and all the little moments before jumping straight into the holidays. 🥹

But the calendar waits for no one... and after several texts asking, "when are holiday dates coming?" I figured I shouldn't keep my planners waiting any longer. 😉

So while I'm not ready to decorate for Christmas just yet, I am excited to share this year's dates:
🍂 Fall Minis: October 16, 17 & 18
🌲 Tree Farm Minis: November 6, 7 & 8
🎅 Santa Sessions: November 14 & 15 (a special surprise is coming!)

As always, returning families will receive early access before booking opens to the public. I'll be sharing booking links, locations, and all the details throughout July.

For now... mark your calendars. I can't wait for another holiday season with all of you. ❤️ I'd love for you to help me out by tagging any friends who may want these dates! Facebook and I don't always agree on who gets to see my posts. 😂🎄

Happy Birthday, America. 🇺🇸

I'm so thankful to live in this country and for the freedoms we get to enjoy every day. I'll never take those freedoms for granted. I'm grateful for every man and woman who has served our country and for the families who have sacrificed alongside them.

My prayer is that our kids grow up loving this country, appreciating our freedom, and never forgetting what a blessing it is to call America home.

Happy Fourth of July. ❤️🤍💙

With it being Father's Day, sharing this felt especially fitting. ❤️

Funny how a truck can go from being part of your family's story to helping tell someone else's.

Looking forward to using it for a few American-inspired sessions this week. 🇺🇸

It's not too late to grab a spot for your family!

I loved getting to meet this sweet family. ❤️

We had great conversations, lots of smiles, and such a fun evening together. The kind of session where you forget you're meeting for the first time.

And they even got some pretty great photos out of it, too.
