A little more Christmas magic from last year’s Santa Experience!

Each family has 15 minutes of time with Santa to talk, laugh, read stories, share Christmas wishes, and enjoy the experience together.

Every session includes:

🎄 A private 15-minute experience with Santa
📸 10 beautifully edited digital images
✉️ A personalized letter from Santa mailed to your home
🎁 Optional prints, ornaments, Christmas cards, and keepsakes

Here is another little glimpse of the fun Neil Bullock captured last Christmas! Santa will be stepping into an entirely new setting this year, and I cannot wait for families to see what we are creating.

The Santa Experience will take place in Pineville on November 6, 7, 8, and 11.

Louisiana photographers, This two-day workshop will be held in Dry Prong, LA at BloomWell Studios during the week of April 6th (dates are flexible)

Teaching Newborn Photography is something I’ve dreamed about doing for 10 years... and it finally feels like the right time.
We moved to Virginia about two and a half years ago and I drive back a few times a year to visit everyone and host mini sessions. I still get messages from clients telling me they’re expecting another baby and wishing I could photograph them again. Those messages make me feel loved, but they are also really bittersweet.

Around the same time I moved, my friend Angel Denise also relocated. Angel is someone I trust deeply and respect so much as a newborn photographer. While she still returns to photograph clients when she can, she isn’t always able to accommodate everyone.After talking with Angel (and with her full support and permission), I’m going to be hosting my first Newborn Photography Mentoring Intensive inside BloomWell Studios, the same beautiful space she photographs in when she returns and rents to other photographers as well.

This mentoring experience is something I’ve thought about, prayed about, and planned for for years. Newborn photography is incredibly special, but it’s also one of the hardest genres to learn well without guidance. I know how overwhelming it can feel, because I’ve been there myself.

This mentoring will be intentionally small, either one photographer privately, or two photographers sharing the experience together, so that I can truly tailor the experience and walk alongside each photographer.I've been wanting to host this because I love to teach and I would love to refer my clients to photographers with a similar style and client experience. I want to help photographers feel confident during newborn sessions, build systems that make sessions flow smoothly, and grow into the trusted newborn photographer families rely on in their community.

Applications officially open Monday If this is something you would be interested in, message me and I’ll make sure you get the link when enrollment opens.
