I still have some availability for this coming weekend's Easter Minis. Just follow the link at the top of my page for booking. For those already booked, I will be sending an email reminder during the middle of the week along with my address. If for some reason you do not have access to the email you registered with at the time of booking, please message me and I can get my address to you.

I will be getting baby chicks this coming week as well. If you think your little one/s will be gentle enough to handle them, we can include them in your photos with your permission! For extra littles I can place them nearby so there is no handling. I am looking forward to seeing everyone! 🐰 💐 🐣

🐥 EASTER MINIS 🐥

For those that have booked, I am hoping to have baby chicks for this year's Easter Mini photos! This year's backdrop is perfect for it!! They will only be used if your little one/s can handle them gently, as we have to keep safety in mind. For extra young littles we can try placing them around if you'd like so no handling is involved. If you'd like them involved, please let me know ahead of time so I can be prepared with them. I'm so excited, and can't wait to see you all! 🐰🐣🥚

Only a couple more weeks until Easter Minis begin!! Follow the link if you're interested in booking. These will be my last Sessions for a little while as I start physical therapy for my knee soon. There is a slight chance that surgery may follow.

If you book with me for an Easter Session, I will be choosing one of you at random for a discounted future session of your choice. 🐰

$80 ($20 Non-Refundable Deposit During Booking), 5 Digital Photos, 15-20MINSDeposit is transferable once for reschedule. Refund may depend on cancellation notice (one week) or under certain circumstances once it's discussed with me.

The Easter Backdrop is ordered!! This may be the last Mini that I'll be able to do for a little while, so if you'd like to capture photos of your little ones, make sure to grab a spot. Easter Minis start in only one month!

See the pinned post at the top of my page for the booking link. 🐰 🥚 🧺 💐

Not the news that I wanted to be sharing, but after Easter Minis, I will most likely be taking a little break. Unsure for how long, but I recently got the results back on the MRI for my knee issue. Still showing patellar tendonitis (same issue from 2 years ago) and in the doctor's notes, quadricep tendonosis. So possibly that as well.. For those unaware of what that is, another word for it is jumper's knee. A common injury for athletes, but non athletes can get it as well. It's from overuse/injury of the knee and it causes tiny tears in the tendons... Resulting in pain and inflammation. Tendonosis is chronic and results from improper healing and causes thickening in the tendons and can take much longer to heal. Sometimes having permanent issues. Treatment requires rest, anti-inflammatory medicine, ice breaks, extensive physical therapy, and if those fail other measures are taken. If I do bave Tendonosis that may require months+ to get better. Being a children's photographer requires a lot of getting down and back up which may further my issue. I'd much rather take the steps to better myself so I don't continue running into the same issue in the future. I'd like to be able to provide my best for all of you. Easter Minis will go as scheduled unless I am told otherwise at my Orthopedic appointment. That is scheduled next week. If you have already booked, and I am told I can not work, your deposit will be refunded and your next future booking will be discounted. Thank you all for your support and I will keep you updated as I know more! 💗💗💗

We have a tie!!! With that being said I am re-running the backdrop voting contest for these two backdrops until this coming Monday. Please vote for your favorite between the two! 🐇 🥚 🧺

Good morning! I have been off the past couple weeks due to appointments and other issues. I have decided to give until tomorrow for the Easter Backdrop Voting. If you have not yet voted, please do so, to get your votes in! Just like/heart your favorite backdrop/s and the winner will be used for this year's Easter Backdrop. I will announce tomorrow!

A positive, I recently had blood work and a follow up with my rheumatologist. Although I still had a low titer ANA, they do not think it's connected to anything autoimmune. I only have to go back and do further testing if I have worsening synptoms in the future. We all believe that it was most likely connected to my lyme disease. However, I am still having problems with my knee that I injured many years ago, and have chronic swelling. At times I get pins and needles in my foot which I am thinking is nerve compression due to it. The pain is not as severe as before physical therapy 2 year's back, but the fact that the swelling hasn't improved is a concern. I'm going for an MRI next week to see if there has been any further damage, or to see if they can find something that may have been missed the last time. I am hoping to finally get some answers so I can be on the road to improvement.

Due to all this, I may have to limit the amount of sessions I do at a time. I used to be able to extend my time, take on extra sessions, add extra days to my already scheduled Minis. This has become harder throughout the years. I plan to continue any requests as long as no health issues arise, and I plan on my normal mini sessions as well! But, I wanted to take the time to keep you all updated and thank everyone that has been so understanding. I appreciate all of you. ❤️
