I never want to miss an opportunity to connect with you, so using one of those methods will ensure I receive your message and can get back to you as soon as possible.

I was just talking to my dad about this a few days ago. Photography is more than “snapping a few photos.”

People see a $450 photoshoot and think photographers are taking home $450 in profit… and I promise that’s not reality 🥹

What most people don’t see is everything that goes on behind the scenes of running a photography business.

A session payment doesn’t just go into my pocket. It goes toward:
✨ taxes
✨ gallery delivery + website fees
✨ editing software subscriptions
✨ SD cards + hard drives
✨ camera bodies + lenses
✨ props + setups
✨ gas/travel
✨ insurance
✨ advertising
✨ continuing education
✨ equipment maintenance/upgrades

And then there’s the biggest thing of all … time.

The actual session is only a tiny portion of the job. There’s hours spent planning, communicating, culling galleries, hand editing images, delivering galleries, bookkeeping, answering messages/emails, ordering props, cleaning the studio, and so much more that nobody really sees.

Photography is so much more than “just taking pictures.” It’s a full business, a creative service, and honestly a huge labor of love. 🤍

I completely understand that professional photography isn’t in everyone’s budget, and that’s okay! But I’ll always be thankful for the clients who value the work, time, and heart that goes into creating these memories. 🫶

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms 🤍

A special thank you to the ones I’ve had the privilege of photographing over the years… some of you even before motherhood. Watching your stories grow and capturing these seasons of life will always be one of my greatest honors.

A few new updates just went live on my website! 🤍

Most importantly, I’ve added the ability to leave both a testimonial and a Google review. If we’ve ever worked together, I’d truly appreciate you taking a moment to share your experience. Your kind words mean so much and help support my business more than you know.

Thank you all for the continued love and support — I can’t wait to read your submissions!

Website + review links will be in the comments/stories!
