This Santa is THE Santa. šŸŽ…šŸ»

Whether you schedule a private visit with Santa Ron in your own home or bring your kids to one of my Santa Mini Session mornings, just do yourself a favor and let your littles meet him.

He's the real deal—but what I love most isn't how convincing he looks. It's how GOOD he is with kids.

I've photographed Santa Ron with so many families over the years, and I finally pulled together some of my favorites—including the skeptical kids, the whispered Christmas wishes, the lists, the stories and even the year Santa made cookies.

Go see Santa Ron in action on the blog.

The social media gods are mad at me again because I haven't posted in weeks. 😬

So if I'm going to break my silence, this feels like a pretty good reason.

This is Aimee and her boys, Dylan and Miles.

Aimee is a breast cancer survivor. Since her diagnosis at 42, she's been through surgeries, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, blood clots, body changes—and, in the middle of all of it, the end of her marriage.

But that's not really what this post is about.

It's about what she sees differently now.

Her boys. Her faith. Her health. Getting in the water instead of sitting on the sidelines. Laughing. Running. Making memories. Choosing joy even when life hasn't gone the way she thought it would.

I asked Aimee to write about what this session meant to her, and she gave me something far better than anything I could have written about these photographs myself.

So rather than trying to squeeze her story into an Instagram caption, I'm sending you to my blog.

Go read Aimee's story. Look at the photographs. And especially read what she has to say about why photographs mean something different to her now.

#1 tip to make sure you hire the right photographer for you?

-Read their reviews.

"We had the most wonderful experience from start to finish. Mary was incredibly accommodating, meeting us at the hospital for our newborn session and working around our schedule during such a busy and emotional time.

Her experience with newborns was evident from the moment she handled our baby. She was patient, gentle, and confident, which immediately put us at ease. Our baby remained calm and relaxed throughout both sessions, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free.

The quality of her work is absolutely beautiful, but what stood out even more was her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for both our baby and our family. If you're looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, experienced, and knows exactly what she's doing, I cannot recommend her highly enough. We are beyond grateful for the memories she captured and will treasure these photos forever."

Your family session doesn't have to be about matching outfits and smiling at the camera.

It should be about more than just how everyone looked this year.

It should tell the story of who your family IS right now.

Go get ice cream.
Have a game night.
Visit your favorite little bookstore.
Go paddleboarding, surfing, or boating.
Make pancakes in your pajamas.
Pickleball, anyone?

You choose the memory. I'll tell the story through beautiful photos.

More and more families are choosing in-home and in-hospital newborn sessions over traditional studio sessions.

Worried your home or hospital room isn't Pinterest-perfect?

You don't need perfect light or a perfectly styled space.

Give me one good window, and I can create images like these.

Still here.

Still photographing the sweetest little moments.

Just tired of fighting the algorithm fight.

It wins every single time so I'm going to stop searching for the perfect words, stop worrying that the post/reel/story ratio isn't right, and stop trying to curate the just right list of hashtags.

I'm just going to keep posting pretty pictures of pretty people and hope you keep stopping in to see what I've been doing.
