2025, you were a lot.
In March, we found out we were pregnant. Something we truly never expected. Being in our 40s and starting over was equal parts shocking, joyful, and terrifying. A brand new chapter, whether we felt ready or not .
From a business perspective, this year was slower. That is hard to say out loud. But I think I also needed a slower year. Time to pause, to feel, to recalibrate.
Some longtime clients moved on, which is always bittersweet, but I was also welcomed by so many new faces who quickly became friends. Truly, thank you to everyone who shares my name, my work, and their trust with the people they love. That kind of support means more than you know.
I still love what I do. Deeply.
I may refocus, evolve, and explore new projects next year, especially in a world that feels louder, more crowded, and increasingly shaped by AI, but the heart of my work has not changed.
I still love maternity photography. Having Dan photograph me just days before giving birth, after a difficult pregnancy, gave me something I will cherish forever. Those images remind me that I was strong, even when I did not feel it.
I still love newborn photography, even though my own little cherub has officially been my most challenging client to date 🙂
And I still love family photography. Watching your children grow. Seeing familiar faces year after year. Hearing kids remember my stuffies or something we laughed about seasons ago. Those connections, those through lines, are everything to me.
This year was hard. And it was beautiful. And I am incredibly grateful.
Thank you for being here ❤️

Here is to whatever 2026 becomes.
