We never realize which moments will become the ones we miss most.

That’s why I do this - to turn the real life, everyday moments into memories that last.

The Emerald Glimpse session is perfect for you if you feel like time is flying and you’re going to miss this season of life. You get the updated lifestyle photos to hang on the wall AND you get the sights and sounds on video. The session is only one hour and I know you’ll love it.

Comment the word VIDEO and I’ll send you all the information.

You deserve this.

👉Fast forward to next year.

Your session is over. You’re scrolling through your photos, you’re watching your Moving Portrait and suddenly you stop - it’s the one of your kids laughing in your arms, hair messy, faces bright.

And you think, that’s us.

That’s what these sessions are for - not perfect smiles, but real ones.
Not all poses, but all memories.

Right now, I’m offering something special that I haven't done before. It’s the perfect way to try a film if you’ve been hesitant to book a full film session.

✨The Emerald Glimpse Session
✅ 1 hour coverage
✅ 2-3 minute Moving Portrait
✅ 50+ Final Digital Images
✅ Artwork credit for beautiful

Designed to help you capture your family exactly as you are right now - before this chapter becomes a memory.

🎉 You made it - welcome to the final day of the Story of Us 3-Day Challenge!

Today is about pressing pause. Not just with your camera, but with your heart.

✨ Today’s prompt: “Hold This Moment Close”

Your challenge today is to capture a photo that feels like love. It’s not about looking at the camera, it’s about capturing closeness.

Try one of these ideas:
✅ Sit next to your child(ren) and take a selfie while they lean into you.
✅ Capture them reaching for your hand or resting on your shoulder.
✅ Snap of pic of your significant other having a moment with your child(ren). And ask them to return the favor!
✅ Sneak a photo of them reading, coloring, or just sitting near you - those ordinary moments are often the most beautiful.

You’re not directing a photo shoot - you’re noticing a feeling.

✨ Share your photo and tag me with

Every photo you’ve taken this week is a reminder: you don’t need a special occasion to capture something meaningful.

You did it. You showed up. You saw your people.

That’s the real win!

You crushed Day 1 👏 and now we’re leaning in a bit more.

Yesterday was about being present and noticing the small parts of your day that hold immense beauty.

Today we’re bringing joy!

The kind of photos that make you pause and think, “That’s us.” Your inside jokes, your quirks, the things that spark joy without trying.

Today’s prompt: “Follow the Joy”
Your challenge today is to capture your family doing something that naturally brings out happy energy.

Try one of these ideas:
✅ dancing in the kitchen
✅ playing a game
✅ reading a favorite book
✅ playing outside
Aim for a moment that shows personality, movement, or laughter.

Post your photo or video and tag me with so I can see it.

Tomorrow is the final day of the challenge - and it’s my favorite one yet!

✨Story of Us 3-Day Challenge✨

Day 1 prompt: “Notice the Little Things.”
Choose one ordinary part of your day—

Try one of these ideas:
✅ Take a photo or video of your family doing something completely ordinary - brushing teeth, hugs at school drop-off, eating dinner.
✅ Photograph your child(ren)’s little details - their tiny hands, their favorite shoes, the blanket they drag around everywhere.
✅ Capture what “home” feels like right now - toys on the floor, unmade beds, laughter in the background.

Simply capture one small moment that makes you smile. Don’t overthink it. Just notice what’s already happening and snap a quick photo or short video.

If you post it, tag me and use so I can see it!

You’re doing something really special here - slowing down long enough to see the magic in the everyday.

Parents - this one’s for you.

Here’s what I’ve learned after nearly 20 years as a photographer. Your favorite photos usually aren't the ones where you're looking and smiling.

That’s exactly why I created the Story of Us 3-Day Challenge. To help you capture those in between moments which will be your new favorites.

Comment "CHALLENGE" and I'll send you the link to sign up.
