Special Deal Alert!

Due to going a bit under-promoted in the midst of a busy month behind the scenes, this Sunday's Mini Sessions are marked down to $99! The session is called "The Women Who Raised Us," but is open to anyone who would like to have their moment in front of the lens. I have never done one at this price before and likely will never again...

And a new mini session date has just been added for July. If you are a fan of short walks on gorgeous trails in the woods, this one is for you. It hasn't even gone out to the newsletter yet! So, jump on it before you miss out.

Quick attention, pretty please: New booking, gallery, and image ordering process is being built! If you run into any errors, please know this is an active transfer and will be completed by Friday, May 22nd. You can still book, and likely won't notice a difference, but in the off chance there is anything a little wonky, I want you all to be aware. Email me with any questions or concerns. Thank you!

Past Clients:
I am in the process of switching and combining gallery and booking providers, so you may notice a little dust as everything makes its way to my new home base. If you have a gallery online and haven't downloaded or ordered your images, please do so ASAP. I will only be moving 2026 galleries over at this time. Old galleries will be in the same place temporarily, but the plan is to remove them on or before June 30th. You can always email me if you run into trouble. Rest assured, I have archived photos running back 8+ years. If it isn't online, I can do my best to pull them out of storage, but it may take me a while to gather.

Future Clients:
My booking process will also be changing this week! There is a whole new process, new payment options, new inclusions, and all sorts of goodness coming your way soon! Having everything in one place will make it so much easier for you (and me!) and ensure a smooth process from reservation to image delivery! You will now only need to bookmark one personalized link to gain access to everything.

2026 senior photos are NOT like senior photos in 2001. While I thought my own senior pictures were *the bomb* I remember so much about the experience that just didn't feel like me. Watercolor and tie dye? Why? At one point, I stood three steps high on a white ladder in front of paint splatters. I was told to take off my shoes because barefoot felt more natural. I picked out my own backdrops and props, yes, but that is because the set was limited. None of them made any sense for who I was at the time, and all of them were identical to the photos of my classmates.

My goal is to give your seniors a different experience than what we had. My first question will always be "What is your kid into?" That will usually tell me more about them than anything. It is followed quickly by "Describe their personality." Which tells me how they need to be treated to get the best results. Those two questions may seem like the bare minimum, but they truly get us started on the right foot.

What was once a white ladder in front of paint splatters is now a bass guitar in a flower field or a record player spinning their favorite vinyls in the woods. What was once forcing a shy kid to smile for the camera is now working a little harder to get them to feel confident enough to show their real personality. Our kids deserve the best as they move on to a much bigger world.

If this all feels like a good fit for your kid, reach out! You can find info on my website, but you can also send me a message to discuss.

There are women in every family who hold everything together. The ones who raised us. The ones who showed up again and again. The ones whose hands we’ve held through every season. This one's for the matriarchy.

Women Who Raised Us is a limited mini session portrait day designed to document the generations in your life while they are still able to gather together. Grandmothers and grandchildren. Mothers and daughters. Multiple generations in one frame. Or simply the women who shaped you most.

These sessions are centered on connection over perfection. The way she laughs. The way she holds your hand. The way everyone leans in without thinking. Because seasons change quietly, and we rarely realize which year will be the one we wish we had preserved more carefully.

Included: 15 minute session, 10+ edited digital images, online gallery delivered within 2 weeks

Total Investment: $325

Limited to 6 families per session date and up to 6 people per session. This date will not be repeated this season.

All session bookings are linked in my B I O 💛

Mother's day will be here before you know it! She's the one who keeps it all going. How are you going to show her some love on that special day?

My "Women Who Raised Us" or "Just Like This" mini sessions might just be exactly what she needs this year. 💛

Moms, grandmas, matriarchs of all kinds, here's your chance to drop the hint. Send my link their way!

Not sure where to start or which Philantography session is the right fit? Here's a quick overview of current offers for Spring and Summer. All sessions are flexible, so don't let the theme hold you back. They are there purely for inspiration and because I (selfishly) want to have a little extra fun while we document your life.

Word to the wise: Class of 2027 Senior experiences are already booking, so if you have someone graduating next year, don't delay!

Every year feels long while you are in it.
And then suddenly you are looking at photos of a version of your family that no longer exists.

Spring dates are now open. Mini sessions are limited to six spots per date. Senior sessions book before summer.

If this is your year, don’t wait. It'll all change in a blink.

Some families just pull your heartstrings extra tight and tie them in a bow. The Sanders crew did just that for me. How sweet are they? Full on butterflies over here!
