Imagine this…

Golden hour.

A secluded meadow.

The sound of the wind through the trees.

Bare feet in the grass.

An oversized sweater slipping off one shoulder.

A vintage quilt.

Lace.

Cowboy boots.

Soft skin glowing in the last light of the day.

No studio.
No pressure.
No audience.

Just you, rediscovering the version of yourself you’ve been missing.

I’m considering opening a very limited evening of Outdoor Bo***ir Minis at this private location.

Think soft.
Think earthy.
Think romantic.
Think less “posed” and more “caught in a beautiful moment.”

If this is something you’d book…drop a 🌿 below so I know.

I wonder how many ordinary days become the ones we spend missing the most.

The backyard. Bare feet. A blanket that became a cape, a sail, a hiding spot. Tiny hands that still reach for yours.

Maybe the magic was never in the big moments after all. Maybe it was here all along. 🤍

I’ve always believed the most beautiful love stories aren’t photographed in perfect places. They’re photographed in places that mean something. The old tractor. The family farm. Boots in the grass. A quiet sunset.

Because years from now, these won’t just be photos of what they looked like—they’ll remember exactly what it felt like to be loved here.

Congratulations to these three❤️

“One day you’ll wish you had more pictures of this.”

Not the perfectly posed ones. The ones where your toddler won’t sit still. The ones where your son is missing a front tooth. The ones where everyone is laughing because somebody just said something ridiculous.

That’s the good stuff.

I got to spend last evening with this sweet family in a field full of summer grass, and it felt like everything I love about family photography.

I’ve still got a few July evenings open if you’ve been waiting for a sign to book. This is your sign. 🌾

July will fill up fast 🌾🚲🪁

These are the only remaining session dates I have available before we roll into August and new fall pricing!

Think warm evenings, bike rides down gravel roads, kites in open fields, fishing trips, wildflowers, ice cream stops, and all the little summer memories you’ll want to remember.

Last night’s session was one of those reminders of why I love what I do.

No elaborate setup. No pressure. Just a beautiful evening, genuine connection, and the kind of moments that happen when people simply get to be themselves.

These are the photos that make me fall in love with storytelling all over again. 🌾✨

Also — my July calendar opens later today! If you’d like first dibs on available dates before they disappear, leave a comment below and I’ll send them over as soon as they’re posted.

And because I apparently can’t sit still, I’m dreaming up a special July mini session too… 👀🐠
Stay tuned.
