This one feels really special to share. 🤍

One of my birth images was recently published, and it means so much to me because of the story behind it.

The Davis family has been with me from the very beginning; their wedding, maternity, Oliver's birth, and his newborn photos.

Being trusted to document these milestones - to witness and preserve something this intimate - is something I hold so close.

Birth photography is such a small, niche space, but it’s a huge part of my heart. From my background as an L&D nurse to now documenting these moments artistically, it’s always been about honoring how powerful, raw and beautiful this season of life really is.

This is what I create. Not just sessions, but relationships and an experience that tells your story over time. The kind of images you hold onto for years to come.

If that’s you, inquire with link below - I look forward to our talk! 🤍

Life has been full lately; time away, some rest, and a photography conference that's always inspiring. Still creating, just in different ways behind the scenes.

Sharing this beautiful maternity session I never posted. There’s something so special about this season, and I’m so grateful I get to capture it.

I have lots I'm excited to share in the coming weeks! 🖤

Some of my favorite stories start long before these sleepy newborn moments.

From their very first breath to these tiny details, capturing the journey is what I love most. 🧡

Seeing how quickly they grow reminds us why every moment matters.

Sweet 16 ✨
Not quite ready for senior portraits.
Not dressed for prom.
But absolutely in a season worth documenting.

These in-between milestones matter just as much. As a maternal milestone photographer, I believe motherhood isn’t only maternity and newborn - it’s every chapter of watching your baby grow into who they're becoming.

This Sweet 16 session was the perfect way to celebrate her personality without the pressure of senior year or a formal prom look.

✨ Featuring: IG

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to book photos for your teen, this is it.
Let’s celebrate them exactly as they are in this stage. 💛

Happy Discount Chocolate Day from this sweet boy!

I adore photographing all the newborns but I am partial to the itty bitty ones. My own little love was just 4 lbs and some change.

How big was your little valentine(s)? Drop a heart below:

🤍 3–4 lbs
🩷 5–6 lbs
💜 7–8 lbs
🩵 9 lbs
💚 10+ lbs

Wrapped in light, held by shadow, and fully in her power.
This is maternity as it should be - honest, reverent, and real.

Weather changed. The magic didn’t.
This maternity session moved indoors when fall turned frigid.
Your home can be just as beautiful, cozy, and meaningful.
Working with SCP means an in-home experience from start to finish.
