LOVE taking those senior portraits and celebrating that special time in their lives on the beginning of their next phase in life!

When the smiles are so authentic that I have to smile taking the photos! Come be authentic with me 🤍

Looking back on older sessions can bring me some confidence I forgot I had and remind myself, hey, that's some fun work! Who wants to strum up a great session plan together this spring? DM me today!

Some honest thoughts lately, from a working mom + photographer standing at the edge of something big…

1. My kids won’t remember how many emails I answered in my current job… but they will remember if I was there
2. I crave creating more than I crave clocking in
3. I want to show my children what it looks like to go after something that lights you up and dares you to look fear in the face of the unknown
4. The “safe” path isn’t always the one that feels right anymore
5. I’m building something that feels like me… and that has to count for something

It’s scary, it’s exciting, and it’s been sitting on my heart for a while now 🤍

POV: you booked family photos and thought everyone had to behave perfectly.
Spoiler: they don’t.
The best photos come from laughter, chaos, and real moments 🤍

A sweet little boy has arrived and everything feels a little fuller.

Arms wrapped tighter
Moments held a little longer
Love quietly growing in every corner

At home where it all begins they are finding their new rhythm together. More love more laughter and a story just starting to unfold.

You think you have all this time... until you don't. It’s so easy to say, “maybe next year.”
When they’re still little, still close, still reaching for you without hesitation… it feels like there’s no rush.
But the truth is, these seasons slip by quietly.
The weight of them in your arms changes.
The way they need you softens, then shifts, then slowly fades into something new.
And one day, you find yourself missing a version of them you didn’t realize was already passing.
Photography isn’t about waiting for the perfect time.
It’s about holding onto what is, just as it is, before it becomes a memory.
Because time will move forward, whether we’re ready or not…
but this version of your child won’t come with it.
Don’t wait to remember them little. Reach out so we can dream up our special session together!
