The love in this session speaks for itself: playful and full of joy. This family’s little ones explored freely, running freely under the trees, reminding me how beautiful it is when children feel completely at ease in front of the lens ✨🥰

I love and will always celebrate 🏳️‍🌈 families. My values live in every gallery - love, authenticity, and the undeniable beauty of being fully seen for who you are. Thank you for trusting me with your stories 💕

There’s something timeless about black and white. It subtly draws you into the emotion of the moment - the tenderness as children giggle and curl their arms around each other, the warm embrace of a parent’s big hug, and the connection that doesn’t need color to be felt ✨

These moments remind me what I love about documenting families. It’s not just how y’all look, but how you celebrate and feel together. Honest, candid, and effortless 🖤🤍🖤🤍

Mini sessions are open for booking - elegant simplicity, captured in real time. Follow the link in bio to reserve your spot! 📸🔗

Family minis aren’t just for tiny humans, they’re for your fur babies too! Tucker the golden retriever and Lexi the doodle brought all the charm to this sweet session with their hoomans. We played, we posed (just a lil), and we captured the everyday magic of life with dogs who are a part of the family. Many, many treats were given out this day 🦴🐾

Whether your family consists of toddlers, teens, or four-legged best friends, my mini-sessions are designed to celebrate your unique crew right where you are. Follow the link in my bio to book your spot today 🔗📸

When Kate and Sarah planned a surprise family photo session for their parents, I couldn’t say no! A golden sunset and their beautiful back porch set the stage for an evening full of laughter, big smiles, and memories they’ll cherish forever ☀️

Building real connections with the families I photograph has become the heart of my work. Whether I’ve been your nanny, our kids have had playdates, or I simply take time to get to know you and your crew, that connection is what makes candid portraits meaningful for a lifetime 📸💕

In the late summer two years ago we caught the perfect haze of golden hour with this magical family session on the Saluda riverwalk. These kids have some of the biggest, brightest personalities I’ve had the joy of documenting in the ten years I’ve worked with this beautiful family. Their infectious love comes through in every photo, posed and candid. 📸

I’m excited to share more about my location scouting in the days to come, but had to start off by sharing one of my favorite Columbia locations. There is something truly magical about the sun reflecting off the cool Saluda water, whether it’s a sunrise session or the last few precious moments of golden hour portraits. ☀️✨

Tiny little hands, smooshy cheeks, and all the adorable little details that come from a newborn session 💕

This project filled my heart - parents gazing at each other with love and contentment while a big brother and sister welcome their new baby sibling with fascination and fierce protection. Documenting these moments with in-home sessions allows everyone in your family to feel comfortable, soothes your newborn, and lets personalities and smiles shine 👩🏾‍🍼✨
