Have you ever wanted to recreate an older image? I love doing this! It’s a fun way to document and compare all the growth and change that has happened years down the road.

If you have a session coming up soon and have a photo you’d like to recreate, let’s do it!

The dreamiest maternity session this weekend ✨

What a sweet season to document as they prepare to welcome their newest little one! I’ve had the privilege of photographing this family since their firstborn was one year old, and it has been a joy to capture each new chapter of their story.

Watching families grow is truly one of the greatest honors. I love my job 💛

One thing that is incredibly important to me as a photographer is making sure my clients feel cared for, respected, and comfortable throughout the entire experience.

A question I receive fairly often from families is whether their images have to be shared on social media. The answer is simple: absolutely not.

Many families choose to keep their photos private for a variety of personal reasons, and I completely respect that decision. If you prefer that your images not be posted online, I will do my very best to honor that request and ensure your wishes are respected.

Because of this, you may notice that I sometimes share only a few images from a session or none at all. While social media may not always reflect every session I photograph, I am always working behind the scenes.

I wanted to share this because if you’ve ever considered booking a family session with me but hesitated due to concerns about privacy, please don’t let that hold you back! Before your session, we’ll discuss any specific needs, preferences, or restrictions you may have so that everyone feels comfortable and cared for.

My goal is to serve your family well…from the planning stages, to the session itself, and even after your gallery is delivered. Your trust means so much to me, and I am committed to respecting your family’s wishes every step of the way.

This session is a great example below! ⬇️ We did a full multigenerational shoot (one of my favorite kinds!) but I’ll only be sharing a few bits and pieces of it out of respect of privacy. There is no shame requesting this! Just know, I’ve got your back 😉

Life has been full lately, and I realized I never shared sneak peeks from this beautiful family session at Chance Gardens! We were a little worried the rain had taken out many of the blooms, but thankfully we found some gorgeous purple flowers that made the perfect backdrop.

It’s always such a joy working with this sweet family, and I’m so excited to share more from their session soon!

a little life update ✨

The last few months have been full of both joy and some sorrow, busy days (several sessions coming up!) and bittersweet moments…but through it all, God has been our faithful sustainer. These past three months have carried many emotions, but that’s part of the beauty and weight of life.

Our little man has experienced so many “firsts” lately, including his first out-of-state trip, and it has been so sweet watching him learn and grow every single day. He’s already working on sitting up on his own, and my mama heart can hardly handle it 🥹 One of my favorite things right now is how he always wants to touch your face! The sweetest little reminder to slow down and soak in these moments.

At the same time, we’ve also said goodbye to two precious family members who have entered into eternity. It’s been a season of holding both grief and gratitude close together.

We are abundantly blessed to be parents to this sweet boy and thank God everyday for this opportunity!! What a grand adventure parenting is!

A question I often get asked is “how do you do studio images without a studio?”. Well, it often looks a lot like this set up! It might be messy in the background with furniture moved but often I can set this equipment up anywhere as long as I have a window to work with.

So if you have wanted to do a studio session or been curious how things work, feel free to reach out!

To all the sweet couples who recently got engaged and are beginning to plan your wedding and future together… let me just say…you have SO much to look forward to! 🤍

Marriage is such a beautiful gift. Beyond the wedding day excitement, the celebrations, and all the planning, there is something incredibly special about building a life together - growing side by side through every season, creating a home filled with love, and having someone to walk through life with.

Your wedding day will be beautiful, but the marriage that follows is the real treasure ✨
