I have had an influx of newborns this year where the next sibling up was well under 18 months old, and I have to say I am loving it! Close age gaps can create such a fun dynamic within families, and it is always so much fun to photograph in studio. Brooks is well loved by barely big brother Jack and big sister Isla!

There is no more timeless type of child photography than heirloom portraits. In fact, this type of photography is sometimes referred to as “legacy portrait photography” because of the idea that with each framed heirloom print, you are creating a legacy for your family.

When parents reserve heirloom portrait settings with me, they are not just thinking about getting cute pictures of their children, though that happens as well! Parents are often imagining their grandchildren and great grandchildren having the same type of portraits created in the same outfit at the same age. Because while other photography trends may come and go, heirloom portraits always have and always will stand the test of time.

Reach out to add to your own family legacy by reserving an heirloom portrait sitting for your child(ren). 🤍

I think we need some sweet cake smash images to brighten up this dreary day! Cake smashes are such a fun way to celebrate baby’s first birthday!

Some parents choose to schedule the first birthday session in advance of their baby’s first birthday so that they can have printed images back in time for their baby’s first birthday party. Others prefer to schedule the first birthday session as close to baby’s actual first birthday as possible. Both are great options depending on what is most important to your family!

May and June are two of my favorite months for outdoor family sessions. Everything is in bloom, the nights are stretching longer, and family time just feels a little more free. If you are noticing your children growing up right before your eyes, this is your sign to let me help freeze time for you! 💗

As a mom of four, the mommy-and-baby images are always some of my favorite to photograph at newborn sessions. I know firsthand how you will look back at these images and disbelief that your little one fit so small inside your hands and on your chest. You will wonder where time went. And you will be so grateful to have these memories captured forever.

There’s something truly special about seeing your memories come to life beyond a screen. The newborn days pass in a blur, but printing your images means those moments don’t just live in your phone; they become a part of your everyday life. 💕

There is something so striking about heirloom portraits. The simplicity, the softness, and the creamy tones all help create the ethereal feel that my clients love. These classic headshot vignette portraits draw all the focus to what matters most: their expression, their features, their fleeting, beautiful stage of childhood.

These are the portraits that become part of your family’s legacy—the ones that feel just as meaningful decades from now as they do today. The kind you pass down, display with pride, and treasure a little more with each generation.

And with Mother’s Day approaching, there is no more heartfelt gift. A vignette heirloom portrait is more than a photograph; it’s a piece of your child, preserved forever in the most classic and beautiful way.

Because these little faces won’t stay little, but this moment can. 🤍
