Authentic photos for kids & their parents๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ
sharing my motherhood journey honestly I am a fan of juice.

For someone who hates rollercoasters, I love adventures. I enjoy 100% sunshine and I find traveling to be the most thrilling aspect of life. You can find me day dreaming or sitting by my cat. I am also not shy when it comes to something I`m passionate about likeโ€ฆ sweet tea, Parks and Rec, and education.

What I`m loving these days...

Black-and-white film. Ilford HP5 Plus 400 gives a feeling nothing else compares to. Itโ€™s easily becoming a staple in my camera bag. This was my first โ€œtest runโ€ with Jared & Kelsea. Now, Iโ€™ve already captured my family & some of Louieโ€™s baby photos.

I figured after doing real estate photography for nearly two years (next month ๐Ÿคฏ), I should probably start showing my work. โ˜บ๏ธโ€‰
โ€‰
This house is especially special because itโ€™s the first project I both shot and edited! ๐Ÿ˜„โ€‰
โ€‰
My goal with the editing was to create a warm, inviting feel while still keeping everything natural. Although Iโ€™ve been doing real estate photography for a while, focusing more on the editorial side of photography is completely new for me.โ€‰
โ€‰
Iโ€™ve been challenged to step into something new. Oh, how easy it is to stick with whatโ€™s familiar. How easy it is to go back to what used to work. Itโ€™s almost embarrassingly effortless because those old things really did work for a season.โ€‰
โ€‰
Someone tell me whyโ€ฆ the older you get, the harder it is to change? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿฅฒโ€‰

But here I am, changing.

That clarity shapes everythingโ€”from location and styling to posing and pacingโ€”so the shoot feels intentional and the results feel true to her. We also included scenic locations around Naples and Ft. Myers to showcase the beauty of Southwest Florida and add a sense of place to her story.

2025 | YR IN REVIEW

Itโ€™s easy to underestimate what can be done in a year, but as I look back on 2025, growth is present! I canโ€™t end the year without thanking the people who make this work possible.

Jay & Kerah with .pix.media taught me real estate photography and drone work. What a blessing they have been to my family!! Jay is excellent at his craft and absolutely worth learning from. We have different focuses in photography, but I can confidently say that learning real estate photography has made me a better photographer. Period.

I also had the opportunity to second shoot weddings with (a fabulous person), (very generous and insightfulโ€”highly professional!), and the one and only (with her, I know I donโ€™t run this race alone).

Branding sessions with and were an absolute blast! I had so much fun working with both of them.

Highly honored to capture portraits for Cameron & Alexa with , as well as , , and .

Honorable mention: This was my first year learning film photography ๐ŸŽž๏ธ (!!). has been home sweet home when it comes to picking up this medium. Highly recommend to anyone exploring film photography!

The joy of capturing friends like and with their new babiesโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ just dreamy.

RILEY & CASEY ๐Ÿ’Œ 12.13.2025

How magical is this setting?! ๐Ÿ˜ญ I`m so thankful Nashville has a few locations that make your photos feel 10x more European. Shout out to this couple and their family for being stellar humans to work alongside. AND my honorable mention here is helping me capture all the BTS footage & being up for photo downtown adventures. I got the best of both worlds!
