Tell me your family’s happiest at the ocean… without telling me…

From just the two of them to this beautiful now—it’s been such a joy capturing their journey through the years.

Can we talk about golden hour last night? Just a little teaser from this session with this beautiful family.

With over a decade behind the camera, portraits have become my absolute favorite. Give me all the golden light and portrait sessions—I’ll be in my happy place. ✌🏻

Print Talk: You had your session, now what print finish do you want? I got you ✌🏻❤️📷

Lustre and Deep Matte are the two print finishes from my professional lab when you order prints from me.

Not sure which to pick? Here’s the scoop straight from my pro lab:

📸 Lustre = the best of both worlds. It’s semi-glossy (not too shiny), has vibrant colors and sharp details, and it resists fingerprints. Think classic, clean, and perfect for wall art that everyone can see and admire.

🌙 Deep Matte = velvety soft, no shine at all, and gives a dreamy, film-like look. It’s beautiful for portraits, black & whites, and moody, natural light images. Slightly softer in detail but oh-so-gorgeous for a more artistic feel.

Both are printed on archival-quality paper and made to last. Just depends on your vibe ✨

Which one do you love more? or ?

My biggest accomplishment as a photographer… getting to see families grow.

Feeling so incredibly blessed to have this gift.

Wow—I’m not usually a crier, but here I am, happy tears and all. Eight years ago, I photographed this beautiful couple as two… and now they have two beautiful babies of their own. Walking through the park with them, helping carry little ones, I couldn’t help but think—what an incredible gift this is.

It rained—more than a little. And parents always ask me, “Did we still get the shot?”

Not only did we get the shot—we froze time. So they can always come back to this moment, this season, these days.

To two of my favorite moms in the world—here’s a little preview from our rainy day session and troll hunting. ❤️🧌

Let Them Run is a love letter to the real, everyday magic of childhood.

In it, I share why the most meaningful family photos come from letting kids be just as they are—wild, free, and full of joy.

I’m also sharing the details behind my new no-sitting-fee summer sessions—designed with parents in mind: simple, beautiful, and stress-free.

Let’s make magic this summer.
