Can you believe we're already talking about Christmas photos?!

I know... it's only June...it's HOT, summer is just getting started, and Christmas probably isn't the first thing on your mind!

But if you've been around here for a while, you know one thing is true...Christmas minis go FAST!

So I wanted to give you a little sneak peek before booking officially opens on July 1 at 8:00 AM.

This year, I'm doing something I've never offered before. Instead of one type of Christmas mini session, you'll have TWO beautiful options to choose from!

OPTION ONE: SIMPLY US | CLASSIC STUDIO MINIS (November 7th | Winterville, NC)

For the family who loves clean, timeless photographs.

These sessions will take place in a beautiful white studio where the focus is entirely on your family with no holiday setup—simply your connection, your personalities, and this season of life.

The best part?
These photos can absolutely be used for Christmas cards...But they don't have to be!

These sessions are meant to tell your family's story exactly as it is right now.

OPTION TWO: CHRISTMAS & SANTA MINIS (November 7th | Winterville, NC)

For the family who wants all the Christmas magic!

Think cozy holiday details, twinkling lights, joyful moments, and the kind of images that become Christmas cards, framed gifts, and treasured memories for years to come.

And OF COURSE, Santa Claus is coming to town!

Just like in years past, you'll have three ways to customize your session:
I. Family with Santa
II. Family without Santa
III. Kids with Santa

For ALL of the details (pricing, length, what's included, etc.) join my email list below! The links will go live to my email list on July 1st at 8am! Christmas minis typically sell out within just a few minutes, so be sure to set an alarm!

The last couple of weeks have felt a little strange.

For the first time in years, my calendar has slowed down as I step into maternity leave and wait for baby boy to make his arrival. Aside from a short break when I had my youngest, I’ve photographed families, newborns, and mothers consistently for the last five years.

And honestly? This season has reminded me just how much I truly love what I do.🫶🏻

I love preserving the sweet, fleeting seasons of your life. But beyond the photographs themselves, I love everything that comes with caring for my clients well.

I love helping you choose outfits and pulling options from my client closet. I love coordinating hair and makeup appointments so you can simply show up and be taken care of. I love designing albums and printed artwork that allow your memories to live somewhere other than a phone screen.

Because to me, this has never been about delivering a gallery and moving on.

It’s about creating an experience where you feel seen, celebrated, and supported from the moment you inquire until your images are hanging on your walls years later.

Every family who trusts me with their memories matters deeply to me. You’re never just another session on my calendar or another gallery in an editing queue.

These photographs are part of your story.

And being trusted to preserve them is something I’ll never take for granted. 🤍

This sunset. This family. Their sweet energy. It was all absolutely perfect!😍

There are so many moments I’ll forever be “homesick” for: those last weeks before adding a new baby, the freshness of your newborn in your arms, the night before your little one has a birthday.

So grateful I could document this sweet season for this beautiful family before there are four🥹

All the things you think you’ll remember - the little curls, chunky cheeks, tiny toes, and sweet expressions💕

I saw a picture of my oldest from four years ago the other day and my heart ached to hold that sweet little boy again. 🥹 But watching him grow into this grown little man is so rewarding!💕

Book the photos. Freeze the details. 🫶🏻

I’ve wanted to be a mom for as long as I can remember… even when I was little, it was always the dream.

And now here I am—growing another little life, while loving on the ones who made me a mama first. This season is full in every sense of the word… a little chaotic, a little exhausting, but so incredibly meaningful.

Motherhood has stretched me, softened me, and changed me in the best ways. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it.

Happy Mother’s Day to the mamas in the thick of it, the ones soaking it in, and the ones still longing for their turn. 🤍

A while back a fried of mine responded to the inevitable phrase “Phew you have your hands full!” with “I sure do…and an even fuller heart!”

What a wonderful way to think about it! All of these things we once prayed for are now some of the same challenges we face. But oh boy aren’t our hearts full?

In a season of growing a new life while also raising toddlers, building a career, or struggling through trials, let us all remember to have gratitude in the day to day!💕

In the last week alone, I’ve had two different mamas reach out to me — both sharing that they didn’t take newborn photos for a variety of reasons… and both wishing they had.

Those early days are a blur. You’re exhausted, emotional, soaking it all in while just trying to keep everyone fed and functioning. Taking photos can feel like one more thing.

But the way they curl into you, the little sounds, the way your whole world just shifted… it’s a once-in-a-lifetime season. It never comes back the same way twice.

That’s exactly why I’ve built my newborn sessions the way I have — with intention to all of the prep and details to ease the stress.  You just show up and love on your people — I’ll take care of the rest.🤍

Currently booking newborns from September to December.
