I have photographed so many families at the beach but somehow, no two sessions ever feel the same.

You can put me in the exact same spot with the exact same sunset, but every family brings something completely different. That’s why I never want to force every session into the same poses the entire time. I want your photos to actually feel like your family🧡🏖️🐚☀️🌊

Calling all expecting mamas!!📣🤰❤️

I’m looking for one mama who is due to deliver before the end of 2026 and would be interested in having their birth photographed

I photographed my nephew’s birth almost a decade ago, but I haven’t had the opportunity to photograph another birth since then. However, I have photographed dozens upon dozens of Fresh 48 sessions over the years, so being in a hospital room and documenting brand-new babies and their families is a space I’m very comfortable in ❤️

What I’m hoping to gain more experience with is documenting the birth itself. The anticipation, support, raw emotions, and all of those beautiful first moments as your baby enters the world. Because I’m looking to build that part of my portfolio, the session would be completely free and would include a collection of digital images.

I would need someone who is comfortable allowing me to share selected photos on my website and social media. I would, of course, photograph and share everything with care and discretion. Nothing overly revealing, but birth is naturally such an intimate experience, so I want to be completely upfront about that part.

If you might be interested, please send me an email using the link below , with your due date and where you’re planning to deliver! And if you know an expecting mama who may be a good fit, please tag her or share this post with her❤️🥹

I talk often about how important it is to get photos with your babies and toddlers. But I truly think it’s just as important to keep taking them once they’re all grown up. Because no matter how old they get, in your eyes, they’ll always be your babies🥺🌿🫧🪷

Just two of MANY sweet little faces I’ve had the honor of photographing this summer🥰

ALSO an editing list + a little busy season update 👇 💛

You may have noticed I’ve slowed down/paused sneak peeks for a little bit while I get caught up! I absolutely love sharing your sessions (with permission!) on social media, but right now I’d rather put that time toward finishing and delivering your full galleries. Sneak peeks will be back once I’m a little more caught up!!

I have a slower couple of weeks coming up, which means I’ll be spending LOTS of time behind my computer cranking through this list😆

Here’s my current editing queue, oldest → newest!

And little disclaimer: this isn’t necessarily the exact order galleries will be delivered since different session types have different turnaround times, and I sometimes bounce between galleries just depending on where they’re at in my editing process!

Galleries are also simply labeled by the client who booked + session type to keep things easy for me to organize.

And as always, THANK YOU for your patience and for keeping me so busy!! I’m incredibly grateful for every single one of you!!🥹💛

POV: there’s a 100% chance of rain on your wedding day but you’re too busy GETTING MARRIED to really care💜💍💐🕊️

Sarah + Avery’s day was just so dang FUN. Happy tears. Belly laughs. A little rain. A whole lot of love. And approximately 472 moments where I was just behind my camera saying “oh my godddd so freaking cute”😆

I think one of my fav things about photographing weddings is knowing that I’m catching some things that the bride + groom can’t possibly see while they’re living it. All the tiny details they spent all those months planning. The in-between moments that probably weren’t on a timeline… And then they get to experience all of it again through the photos💜

Sarah + Avery (and Teddy), thank you for trusting me with such a huge day in your lives💖💒💍💐

tbh I don’t think I’ve ever smiled so much while editing a senior sneak peak🥹☀️

Ava came to me with a vision for these photos and somehow it turned into something even better than I imagined!! These don’t just feel like senior photos to me..they feel like tiny snapshots and glimpses of who Ava is in this season of life. Peaceful. Joyful. Thoughtful. Adventurous. 🕊️☀️🌊✨🐚

we laughed, we chased the light, got in the lake, and kept shooting until there was quite literally barely any sun left.

This is exactly why I LOVE what I do. Creating photos that feel like YOU will never go out of style💖
