Six girls, two parents, and one sweet old dog. I’ve been lucky enough to photograph this family almost every year, and it’s been amazing to watch them grow together. This session was wild, messy, full of laughter and fun, just like life on a little dream-farm slice of heaven with a bunch of kids should be.

We took these headlight photos way after blue hour. They’re technically imperfect, but honestly, they might be some of my favorites from this session. The baby photographer in me would’ve panicked when they didn’t come out perfectly clear, but the photographer I am now knows it’s the story that matters more than the technical stuff.

This season’s been a blur in the best way.
Life’s been full, and I’ve been slow to share it.

I’ve got a handful of sessions that deserve a little daylight, though.
Families like this one 😍

We spend so much time trying to make memories that we forget we’re already in the middle of them.

It doesn’t always look magical while you’re in it. But one day it will.

What’s something small in your life right now that you know you’ll miss later? Take a picture of it. You'll be glad you did!

I know it may seem like an overshare, but if you knew how many good ones there are, you'd understand.

Hey guys- In the process of looking for a new booking software I accidentally sent every person in my phone an invite to an app I downloaded 😒 Apologizing in advance for the weird spammy messages.

A little while back I posted a poll asking people what was keeping them from booking a sessions. The answer was unanimously, "money".

Hence this summer offer.
Pay what you can sessions.

This offer is available for sessions booked from July 1st- August 31st.

No fixed prices. No pressure. Just real stories, real families, and summer that will be gone before we know it!

Maybe you’ve been waiting for the “right time” — when the money’s there, when life slows down, when things feel more put together.
But the truth is, the right time is probably right now.

This one’s for the folks who feel it — that tug that says “don’t forget this.” This summer is worth saving.

If money has kept you from booking before, this one’s for you.

📸 Note: All sessions from this offer may be used for my photography education courses and marketing. By booking, you’re saying yes to that — and I promise to honor your story with the care it deserves.

DM me to grab a spot or ask questions. I can’t wait to see what story we tell together. 🤎

To celebrate this season, I've put together a Summer Photoshoot Bucket List filled with ideas that might perfectly capture your family's story – from chalk art to cozy backyard bonfires, and everything in between.
Which of these summer moments are calling your name the loudest? I'd love to know!
Have a different idea I can add to the list? I'd love to hear it!
Ready to tick one off your list and create some beautiful memories with me?

This gorgeous session came in 2 parts. The part where we had a little treat on the backdrop, and the part where Adeline thought my set up was super lame and took us on an adventure instead! 😂 Glad we took her direction though. She had the right idea!

Untamed Images is now The Long Way Home.
Stories found along the way.

This rebrand has been on my heart for a while. It’s more than just a name change—it’s a return to what matters most. The long way home is where the real stories live. It’s the slow, scenic route where life isn’t posed or perfect, but beautifully honest.

This name holds everything I’ve always wanted my work to reflect—raw connection, everyday magic, and the quiet kind of love that doesn’t need staging.
Because the truth is, the best stories aren’t found in grand moments.
They’re found along the way.

Same photographer. Same heart. Same storytelling, memory-keeping, slow-down-and-soak-it-in kind of soul—just with a name that finally feels like mine.

Thanks for walking this road with me. I’m so dang glad you’re here.
