May, we made it. Genuinely glad that one is behind us.

June is already looking good and I am here for it!!

I spent a chunk of today catching up on emails, texts, and DMs. If I missed you, please reach back out. I am not ignoring you, I promise. It can be very challenging keeping up on all the different platforms.

Now, about these photos… anyone recognize where I was? 👀

And yes, I travel for sessions and weddings! Whether you’re planning something local or somewhere a little more magical, I would love to chat. Send me a DM to talk more about that!

Moms, I am talking directly to you for a second.

I know you are probably in very few of the photos. Maybe by choice, maybe not, but your kids are going to grow up and want photos of you with them. Not just of them. Of you together.
That is exactly what Rooted: A Motherhood Mini is about.

This Sunday I am hosting in my downtown Toledo studio with gorgeous pink and red floral installations by Ebel's Events. I will be photographing the quiet moments, the way you hold their hand, the laughter, the closeness that is so easy to feel every day but so rarely gets documented. These are the photos your children will come back to over and over again when they are older.

This session works for any age kids. Bring mom, bring grandma, bring the whole crew. Up to six participants total.

Outfits do not need to be complicated. Reach for creams, whites, soft textures, or light pastels. A simple, cohesive feel is all you need and what you already own will likely work perfectly. If outfit planning is what has been holding you back, just send me a message and I will happily put together some ideas for you.

A few spots are still available for this Sunday. This also makes a really beautiful and meaningful Mother's Day gift if you are still looking for something that will actually last.

Some of my favorite memories have been made outside. National parks, waterfront towns, camping under the stars, kayaking on the water. My kids are growing up knowing that the best things don’t always have a price tag, they’re just found outside.

As a photographer, I’m constantly noticing light and texture and the way a landscape makes you feel small in the best possible way. Nature has honestly made me a better artist.

This photo is from Acadia last summer. Two of my kids on the rocky cliffs with their binoculars out, convinced they were going to spot a whale. That moment is exactly why Earth Day matters to me. The more time we spend in nature, the more we want to take care of it.

Happy Earth Day.

Preteens are a whole vibe, and I honestly love it!

Having a pr***en of my own has completely changed the way I see it. They are figuring out who they are, trying things on, slowly becoming the person they are going to be. It is so fun to watch.

But I also know this is the stage that tends to get skipped when it comes to family photos. The braces. The awkward smiles. The absolute refusal to cooperate with basically anything. I get it. It feels easier to just wait.

Don’t wait though.

This stage goes fast, and it deserves to be documented just like every other one did. There is so much personality here. So much realness. These are the years you are going to want to remember, and so are they.

Preschool doesn’t have to be the finish line for portraits or family photos. School photos don’t tell the whole story. Let’s get those pr***ens in front of the camera!

What if your wedding vendor team could tell one cohesive story from the very beginning all the way through to the last song of the night?

That’s exactly what we got to show off with this styled shoot at Nazareth Hall, and I am still thinking about it.

This whole concept was Susie of ’s vision, and she came in with a plan and the energy to match.

We walked one couple through a proposal, an engagement party in the newly renovated Lady Glen Ballroom with its gorgeous hardwood floors, a ceremony in the Cadet West Ballroom that honestly made me want to tell every couple to consider that space, and a reception where our bride changed into the most stunning shorter dress from and the floral arch got repurposed around the sweetheart table and on top of the sign. One vendor team, one cohesive story, start to finish.

But the real story here is the people. The amount of work, creativity, and heart that these vendors poured into this day was something I won’t forget. Any couple who gets to work with this team is so lucky.

And our models gave everything. They did amazing!

Susie, you absolutely pulled it off.

Not every couple needs the same thing from their photographer.

Some people want to be directed. Posed, guided, told where to stand. That's valid and I'm really good at it. Some people just need space to be themselves and a photographer who knows when to stay quiet. I can do that too.

Before your wedding day I want to actually know you. What makes you feel secure. What makes you laugh. Whether you need encouragement or just someone to trust you. That's the work that happens before your wedding day, usually at your engagement sessions, and it's what makes the photos look the way they do!

If you've been looking for someone who's goal is your comfort, I'd love to talk!!
