Two sessions. Two completely different vibes. Both absolutely breathtaking. 🤍

One was all about the beach, the water, and the wind blowing through every moment. Wild, free, and beautifully untamed. 🌊

The other was tucked away in the woods, surrounded by the colors of fall, the sound of music, and that cozy autumn magic that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. 🍂🎶

Completely different settings. Completely different feelings. But both a reminder that beauty doesn't have to look one particular way.

Sometimes it's found in the wind and waves. Sometimes it's hidden among the trees and falling leaves.

And sometimes, you get lucky enough to photograph both. 🤍📸

I’m hard at work getting galleries finished, and I’ll be honest… I have quite a few to get through! Between back-to-back family sessions and weddings, September and October ended up being much busier than I originally planned. And, of course, we added a brand-new granddaughter to the mix! 🥰❤️

I truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while I work my way through these galleries. Several are heading out today and tomorrow, and I’m excited to get these memories into your hands!

In the meantime, let’s take a moment to appreciate this beautiful couple, Sam and Tyler! 😍❤️

Alyssa & Ethan 🤍

What a freaking wedding day. 😂❤️

These two got married surrounded by a family that is clearly equal parts love, laughter, chaos, and absolutely no shortage of personality. And honestly, those are some of my favorite kinds of families to photograph. There were so many moments throughout the day that made me smile — the kind of moments you can’t stage and definitely couldn’t recreate. Just people who genuinely love each other, giving each other a hard time, laughing until they couldn’t breathe, and celebrating two people they adore.

Alyssa and Ethan, your wedding was beautiful, but it was the people who made it unforgettable.

Thank you for letting me be there to capture all of it — the pretty moments, the emotional ones, and all the wonderfully ridiculous ones in between. 🤍

Congratulations, you two. I hope married life is every bit as fun as your wedding day was. ❤️

A little heads-up from me ❤️

Over the next couple of weeks, I’m going to be a little sporadic and largely unavailable as I take some time to deal with a family matter. This means I won’t be near my computer consistently, and I won’t be able to spend my normal hours editing, answering messages, or keeping up with everything behind the scenes. For anyone who already has a session or wedding booked with me~ his does NOT affect your scheduled date. Your session or wedding will go on as planned. I will be there, camera in hand, and ready to capture your memories. ❤️

What this may affect is everything that happens behind the camera. Editing, emails, galleries, and responses may take a little longer than usual while I’m in and out over the next 2–3 weeks. I’ll be checking in and working when I’m able, but there will be periods where I simply won’t be near my computer. I’m not disappearing, and I’m not ignoring anyone. I just need to put my attention where it needs to be for a little while. I appreciate your patience, understanding, and grace while I navigate some things with my family. ❤️

Thank you for always being so understanding.

This is a long post, bear with me. Because of the conversations happening right now about children’s photographs, privacy, school portraits, and who ultimately has control over a child’s image, I feel it’s important to restate my position. Not because my policy has changed. It hasn’t. This is something I have always done in my photography business, and my policies regarding children’s images are already included in my contract. But with so much discussion happening right now, I think it’s important for parents, especially anyone considering having their children photographed, to know exactly where I stand. I believe parents should have a say in how their child’s identifiable image is shared.

I also believe in photography. I believe in documenting childhood. I believe in celebrating those goofy smiles, missing teeth, big personalities, and all the little things that make our children who they are. So, I am not saying that I will never share photographs of children. Quite the opposite. When I have permission from a parent or legal guardian to share a child's images, I will share them normally and proudly. Their face can be visible. Their personality can be celebrated. I can showcase the beautiful portraits I created for their family. When I don't have permission to share an identifiable image, I can still showcase my work without compromising that family's wishes. That may mean sharing a photograph from behind, a silhouette, a detail, hands, feet, or an image where the child's identifying features aren't visible. And sometimes, the answer may simply be I don't share the image. All of those choices are okay. Because the choice belongs to the family.

This isn't a new reaction to something happening in the news. It's not a new policy I'm putting into place because people are talking about children's images right now.
This has always been my practice. My contract already addresses image use and children's privacy, because I believe clients deserve to know these things upfront—not after the photographs have been taken. I love sharing my work. I love being able to show potential clients what I create. But my desire to share a photograph will never be more important than respecting a family's wishes.

The photographs I create are made for your family first. Social media comes second. So yes, you'll see children on my business page. Some will have identifying features because I have permission to share them. Some will be photographed and shared without identifying features because their families have chosen privacy. And some won't be shared at all.

That isn't inconsistency. That's consent.

With all of the current conversations happening, I simply wanted to make my position clear again. I'm not changing what I've always done. I'm reminding people of it. Because I believe we can celebrate childhood, create beautiful photographs, support photographers, and still respect a parent's right to decide how their child's image is shared.

For me, that's not a trend.

It's been my standard all along. ❤️

There’s something about a grandparent’s arms that just feels like home. ❤️

Looking at this image, with those arms wide open and that smile waiting for little ones to come running, I can’t help but think about what it means to be a grandparent.

As a Gigi myself, and with my husband proudly being Papa, I know that feeling. That kind of love is hard to put into words. It’s in the excitement when they run toward you, the hugs that last just a little longer, and the joy that comes from simply being together.

These are the moments I hope we never take for granted. Because one day, those little ones will be grown, and these photographs will remind them that there was always a place where they could run—and loving arms waiting to catch them. 🤍
