🎓 SENIOR PORTRAITS ARE NOW BOOKING! 📸

Senior year deserves more than a handful of stiff, awkward photos. Your session should actually feel like you.

Whether your senior is laid-back, outgoing, sporty, artsy, a little camera-shy, or ready to absolutely own their session, I love creating portraits that show off their personality while still giving you those beautiful images you’ll want hanging on the wall for years. 🤎

Sessions are available in 1-hour, 90-minute, and 2-hour options, so we can keep things simple or plan multiple locations, outfits, and completely different looks.

✨ Creative posing
✨ Hand-edited images
✨ Location options
✨ Plenty of variety
✨ A relaxed session designed around your senior

Senior year flies by ridiculously fast. Let’s capture this chapter before it becomes one of those “how were they ever that little?” memories. 🥹

📩 Now booking senior sessions!
Send me a message to grab a date or ask about availability.

📸 A Small but Important Update for Families

Moving forward, Visual Impressions will be using a separate Minor Image Use Release for any session that includes children.

Parents have always been able to let me know if they did not want their child’s images shared publicly. What is changing is that this will now be handled through a separate signed agreement, rather than being addressed only within the main photography contract or through written communication.

The goal is simply to make everyone’s preferences crystal clear and properly documented.

Parents will now be able to choose one of three options:

• Full image-use permission
This allows me to share images where your child’s face is visible on my website, social media, portfolio, advertising, publications, and other photography-related marketing.

• Limited/non-identifying image-use permission
This allows me to share images where your child is not clearly identifiable, such as photos from behind, detail shots, hands, feet, silhouettes, cake-smash details, or images where their face is not visible.

• No public image use
Your child’s images will not be shared publicly by Visual Impressions.

This choice will not affect your session, the quality of your images, or the number of images included in your package. It simply gives parents a clear, documented way to state exactly what they are comfortable with.

For families who are already booked, I’ll be reaching out and sending the new release before your upcoming session so you can review the options and make your selection.

Please note that model calls, styled shoots, promotional sessions, and discounted sessions offered in exchange for image-use rights are handled separately. Those sessions require a separate model release, and image-use permission is part of the agreement for receiving the promotional or discounted rate.

Social media and technology continue to change, and I want my business policies to evolve with them while still allowing me to share my work and respect each family’s preferences. 💛

I was scrolling through older galleries late last night and couldn't help but stop at this photo. Look at that tiny smile—and that sweet little tongue peeking out! 🤍

So fleeting.

That newborn season passes by before we even realize it. One minute they fit completely in your arms, and the next they are running around keeping you on your toes!

Photos like this bring all those cozy feelings right back—the soft snuggly moments that slip away so quickly. PURE magic. ✨

How fast are your kiddos growing up right now? Drop their ages below! 💛

I may be a few days late, but I couldn’t let World Breastfeeding Week pass without sharing one more piece of this year’s breastfeeding session. 🤍

A little before + after from one of the images we created this year.

The before holds the real moment: a mama, her little one, their connection, and a tiny piece of a journey that belongs entirely to them.

The after is where I get to gently bring that moment to life. Enhancing the light, refining the colors, removing distractions, and creating the finished image I had envisioned when I pressed the shutter.

But the most important part was already there.

The bond.
The comfort.
The connection.
The story between a mother and her baby. 🤍

Breastfeeding journeys come in every shape and length. Maybe you tried for a few minutes, made it a couple of hours, continued for several months, or nursed well into the toddler years. Every journey is different, and every effort deserves to be acknowledged.

So even though I’m a tad late...

Happy World Breastfeeding Week to every mama who tried, every mama who struggled, every mama who celebrated milestones, and every mama whose journey looked completely different than she imagined. 🌿🤍

As many of you know, Dustin recently underwent surgery for a kidney stone and experienced complications afterward. Between the procedure, hospital visits, and recovery, he has missed several days of work. To help us recoup some of that lost income, I would love to fill my upcoming evenings and weekends with sessions. 🤎

With fall and spooky season right around the corner, I have so many fun session options available, including fall family sessions, witchy sessions, spooky concepts, and more! I am also booking:
🍂 Family sessions
🎓 Senior sessions
🤰 Maternity sessions
🍼 Newborn sessions
🎂 Cake smashes

For a limited time, all regular sessions are 20% off:
Full Hour Sessions: Regularly $375, now $300

15-Minute Micro Minis: Regularly $125, now $100

Each session includes a select number of professionally hand-edited, high-resolution digital images. Sessions that include smoke bombs will have an additional charge.

This offer is open to both past clients and new clients. I would truly appreciate every booking, share, tag, and recommendation. I would love to start filling my evenings and weekends, so who wants to book? 📸🍂👻

Please reach out with any questions or to get your session on the calendar!

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! 🤍

This year’s annual breastfeeding group session may have been smaller than years past, but the love, connection, and meaning behind it felt just as powerful. 🤍

There is something so special about watching mothers come together to celebrate a journey that can be beautiful, exhausting, emotional, frustrating, empowering, and deeply personal all at once. Every breastfeeding story looks different, and every single one deserves to be honored.

Whether you tried for only a few minutes, continued for a couple of hours, made it through several months, or nursed well into the toddler years, your journey mattered. Every attempt, every feeding, and every moment you gave was an act of love. The sleepless nights, the quiet moments, the tears, the determination, the closeness, and the love woven through it all are worth remembering.

Thank you to every mama and little one who showed up and trusted me to capture this season of your lives. Seeing you gather, support one another, and celebrate these deeply personal journeys is what makes this session so meaningful each year.

I am incredibly grateful that this tradition continues year after year. These images are more than photographs. They are reminders of strength, sacrifice, connection, and a chapter of motherhood that passes far too quickly.

Sharing a few favorites from Lainey’s first birthday session! 🍉🦄

Her family had decided on an adorable watermelon theme, but her older brother, Holt, had one very important request: there absolutely had to be unicorns too!

So, naturally, we created the sweetest watermelon-and-unicorn birthday celebration for this precious one-year-old. Sometimes the best themes are the ones little siblings help dream up! Happy first birthday, Lainey!

I wanted to give everyone a quick update and let my clients know that I may be a little behind on editing and responding over the next few days.

Dustin had surgery earlier this week to remove a kidney stone and place a stent, but we ended up back at the hospital due to severe pain, vomiting, and concerns about a possible infection. They are still running tests and speaking with the on-call urologist, so right now my focus is making sure he is okay and getting him through this.

I am still working on galleries as I am able, but things may move a little slower than usual. I truly appreciate everyone’s patience, understanding, and kindness while we navigate yet another unexpected bump in the road.
