Everything you need to know about the parade logistics on Red Wednesday!

Everything you need to know about the Kansas City Chiefs Parade so you can plan to have the BEST time!

It's the MOST asked question every photographer gets. ⁠
⁠
What do we WEAR!? ⁠
⁠
And that's ok! ⁠
⁠
I get it. ⁠
⁠
I'm an interesting mix of planner meets flexible, so I always believe it's good to start with a plan... ⁠
⁠
THEN, be flexible as you go along.⁠
⁠
How does this apply to wardrobe? ⁠
⁠
Start with tips *cough cough* like the ones in this post. Create a general plan from there by asking yourself all the questions, thinking about the details, knowing what you want from your session. ⁠
⁠
At home, get a box for Family photo night, and start putting aaaalll the things in there as you make decisions. ⁠
⁠
You can do this over the course of weeks (suggested, mostly because if you need to order something and there's a wrong size situation you can breathe easier through that fiasco), you can do it much faster if needed. ⁠
⁠
If you want a place write it all down, dig into extra tips, or just walk you through the questions and process (this does NOT take long), snag my FREE What to Wear Guide & Worksheet download. ⁠

Comment "Guide" and I'll send you a link!
⁠
Happy planning! ⁠
⁠
PS. The flexible comes into play with offering options to your kids, adding a last minute accessory, and mostly deciding to focus on connections over wardrobe at the session.⁠
⁠
Put some thought into your family wardrobe but *psssst!* connections always win.

Swipe for a sweet moment ❤️

Making time for you, as a couple, within the family photo session is super important to me!

Before being one of my families, I often hear from my mamas and dads that the LAST time they were ever photographed AS A COUPLE was way back at their wedding.

That’s so common, and all the more reason to keep up with the two of you during aaaallll the seasons.

One reason I chose not to jump into photographing weddings as my main focus was because I find the rest of the story far more interesting.

Years and kids bring their own adventures and the depth of growth between you.

That’s what I LOVE capturing.

You’ve had time for highs and lows and in betweens.

You choose to do this crazy life together over and over again. I’m here for it, I understand and appreciate it.

And it’s so crazy beautiful.

Keep an eye out soon to get on my email list for a super special offer (ONLY if you’re on my list!) so we can capture YOUR season.

You know the BEST place to photograph newborns?

It’s right in your home.

Now, I’m not talking the version of your home where everything looks like it crawled out of a magazine.

You don’t have to be scared about making it all perfect. (I typically choose one or two locations in your home to photograph in).

I’m talking about the place you live and breathe and play and cry and learn all about each other.

There’s nothing quite like a newborn session within your own walls, because it’s meaningful to you.

I have ONE newborn opening in February if you want to snag it, you will never regret capturing this season — in the place we all come back to: home.

That last pic 😂

There are always SOOO many images from a session with me that I LOVE to include for my families.

You get to pick which ones are YOUR favorites, or choose to upgrade to get aaaaalllll of the collection images.

That’s my personal favorite because it serves my mamas the BEST.

No decision fatigue, and enjoying the collection as a whole will NEVER be something you regret.

I love making sure my mamas get treated right, no matter what they choose or what is right for YOUR family.

You deserve to have a relaxed experience for your family session, and I’m HERE for it!

Bring on 2023, I cherish all my past and future families.

One thing can exist with the other.
