There’s just something about mama & her babies. 🤎

The little hands, the cuddles, the smiles… these are the moments that deserve to be remembered. 🥹📸

And since September is right around the corner, I figured I’d casually mention that I still have a handful of weekday spots open. 👀

Use code WEEKDAY for $25 off any September weekday session.

Just leaving that little tidbit here… 🤎

Second Stranger Sessions Wave Update!

Y'ALL 🤣🤣

This second wave of applications has been INSANE and I am absolutely loving it. Like..you all really showed up for this one. We have some seriously interesting people in this batch and I am having WAY too much fun reading these applications.🤣

And speaking of the applications.....

Why are some of you talking about the Jenkin case in your applications 🤣

MA'AM & SIR 🤣

This is a matchmaking application.

Not the courtroom... which I so wish I was there to watch it live.🤣

Not the town hall... Not sure they would have a talk about this but I am here for it. 🤣

But apparently we are adding "thoughts on the Jenkin case" to the compatibility checklist now... and I am HERE FOR IT! 🤣

At this point I don't even know what I'm going to read when I open these applications anymore 🤣💀

BUT ANYWAY....

WE STILL NEED MEN!

Just a few more single men and we can keep making these matches happen!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LC-IAtR_EGDavU5KJT_xjKpFuBvoMKdR0ePK60eSE38/edit?usp=sharing

Ladies, if you know a single man, SEND HIM THIS WAY 🤣

Your brother.
Your cousin.
Your coworker
Your neighbor
The one guy who is always "single and working on himself" 🤣

WE NEED HIM.

Women are still welcome to apply

But please be patient with me as I work through the applicants already in line. I want to take the time to actually make GOOD matches instead of throwing two people together and saying " well.... good luck!" 🤣

I would rather take my time and get it right.

The second wave will close Tuesday.

I'm going to close applications so I can catch up, work through everyone, get these matches organized, and regain whatever little bit of sanity I have left. 🤣

After that, applications will reopen in EARLY SEPTEMBER, and then again in LATE SEPTEMBER for our next waves as we continue matching through the rest of September and into October.

So if you've been sitting there thinking...

"Should I apply?"

YES..THIS IS YOUR SIGN! 🤣

And if you're sitting there thinking ....

"I know a single man"

SEND.HIM.HERE 🤣

Because apparently finding men is now a full-time position.

And PLEASE keep sharing these posts. You never know who is sitting on your friends list right now who could end up being someone's Stranger session!

Also....

If you're one of the people who somehow managed to work the Jenkin Case into your application....

I see you! 🤣

And honestly.....

I HAVE QUESTIONS! 💀

✨ STRANGER SESSIONS ARE BACK OPEN! ✨

We have matched everyone who was matchable from our first round and weeded out the no-response applicants — so applications are officially OPEN again for weekday evenings throughout September! 📸🤍

And we are SO excited because we already have TWO Stranger Sessions happening next week to kick off September! 👀🥹

📍 Within approximately 1–1.5 hours of Kentland, IN
💰 $75 per person

🌺 IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT say who you are in the comments for your sessions if you have been matched. Those comments will be deleted so no one gets accidentally given away! 🤫

Let’s keep the mystery alive until the blindfolds come off. 😂🤍

Applications are open again! 🌺

Golden Hour
15-20 minute mini session

Yes the $40 is the minimum! If you'd like to contribute more, you absolutely can, but there is ZERO pressure.

These are perfect for families, couples, siblings, kids, maternity, or just because you've been wanting some updated photos!

The $40 session fee is non-refundable and reserves your spot.

Okay, Stranger Session applicants… I need to say something 😂❤️

I absolutely LOVE how much interest these sessions have gotten, but I want to be transparent about something that I don’t think everyone realizes.

Matching people takes A LOT of time. 👀

I’m not just randomly putting two names together. I’m going through applications, comparing ages, locations, interests, personalities, availability, and all of the other things you shared with me to try to create a genuinely good match.

So when someone applies, gets matched, and then completely disappears when it’s time to actually move forward… it means I’ve spent a LOT of time working on a match that ultimately goes nowhere.

I completely understand that life happens and plans change! ❤️ But if you apply, please only do so if you’re genuinely interested in participating.

At this point, applicants who don’t respond after being matched will be removed from the applicant pool and their spot will be given to someone else.

I have a growing list of people who are excited and ready to participate, and I want to make sure I’m spending my time matching people who actually want to do this. 🫶🏼

So if you applied and you’re still waiting — hang tight! And if you’ve already been matched, please check your messages/email and respond so we can get you moving forward. 👀

I cannot wait for you guys to see what happens when these blindfolds come off. 😂❤️

Sometimes the best sibling sessions are the playful ones. 🥹❤️

Even if your 3-year-old brother thinks it’s football tackle time… or funny-face time. 😂

Because those little moments of chaos are usually the ones you’ll look back on and love the most. 🥰

I was gonna wait to post tonight’s session… but I couldn’t NOT share these 😍✨

Seriously, how freaking beautiful are these?! 😭🤎

Tonight’s session was SO good, and I’m already obsessed with how these turned out. I’ll be sharing more soon, but for now… enjoy this little sneak peek. 🥹📸

I’m telling you, golden hour + the right people = MAGIC. ✨

September Update

Okay.. I think it is time for a tiny pause.

Stranger Sessions have taken off WAY faster than I ever expected, and September weekends are already getting pretty full!

So for now, I'm going to PAUSE matching new Stranger Sessions while I work through the applicants I already have and get everyone scheduled.

Applications will stay OPEN, though!

If you've been thinking about applying, you absolutely still can. I'll continue collecting applications and will start matching again as spots open up.

I also still have family sessions and senior sessions happening throughout September, so I'm trying to make sure I have room for those sessions too!

I seriously cannot thank everyone enough for how much interest there has been in Stranger Sessions. What started as a fun idea turned into WAY more than I expected!

Keep those applications coming- just know there may be a little wait before you hear about a match!
