Some celebrations feel extra special, and Victoria’s baby shower was one of them.

Watching family and friends come together to celebrate this next chapter was such a beautiful reminder of how much love can surround a growing family. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, every hug felt genuine, and the joy in the room was impossible to miss.

Baby Niko is already so loved, and I have no doubt this little one is being welcomed into something truly special.

Thank you for allowing me to document these memories. Wishing your family so much happiness as you prepare to meet your newest little blessing.

Some love stories don’t begin at the altar. They begin long before the wedding day, in the everyday moments, the challenges, the laughter, and the family built along the way. This weekend, Ta**ra and Joshua made it official. Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. Seidman.

Celebrating 60 years of life, love, and legacy.

Luanne’s birthday celebration was filled with elegance, joy, and the kind of energy that reminds me why I love documenting meaningful moments like these. The details, the laughter, the confidence, the love in the room… absolutely beautiful.

Happy Birthday again, Luanne. Thank you for allowing me to capture such a special celebration.

After a lot of planning, growth, long nights, and pushing myself creatively, I’m so excited to finally share that Held & True Photography is officially opening a studio space in Monticello, with sessions beginning May 18th.

This space was created with intention. Warm light, soft tones, clean textures, and a calm environment where people can simply exist and be photographed beautifully.

The studio will be perfect for motherhood, couples, maternity, branding, creative portraits, graduation sessions, and more.

I’m still putting everything together piece by piece, but honestly that’s what makes this feel so special. Watching something go from an idea to a real space has been emotional in the best way.

May and June studio bookings are now officially open with founding studio pricing available for a limited time.

I truly cannot wait to create here.
