I'll be at the studio by 445 but will be leaving around 630 (choir concert problems lol) so if you need your dancers photos done today, find the purple haired woman with a camera 💙

I will be at all recitals and have it then too!

Reminder for my ADS friends! I'll be there today around 530, and most of rehearsal tomorrow. I will be at all 3 shows too. So if you need dance pictures, find me 💙
Pay what you can or trade (Orange Kiss Alanis are my caffeine of choice) ❤️

Thank you to all the family's who came to see me yesterday!! I laughed harder at this event than any of the others. I loved seeing returning faces too. Getting to watch your kiddo's grow through pictures is so special! I cannot wait to get each of you back your photos

Tomorrow's the day! Who's ready for Free Mother's Day photos?

Remember the most important thing is to be respectful. To others AND yourself!

Don't say, "I'm not going, I don't have nice enough clothes" I don't care what you wear! IF it's got stains, I'll edit them out! Your kids also won't care 20 years from now!

Don't worry about your kids being too much- I've got FOUR and they all of them have some sort of *spice* - I do NOT mind as long as you make sure they aren't swimming!

There's a reason I do this- mom's don't get enough pictures. And kids need that for later too. Some day, we won't have anything but pictures. So come get them

My annual Free Mother's Day Photoshoot is just around the corner! Are you ready?

Some general FAQ about it!

I will be there a bit before 5pm to get a few things set up, I have anxiety with my ADHD, so I try to give myself a few minutes to breath. I'm nice, but with an RBF :)

I will go in order of sign in, if you're not around (I get it, kids get bored fast!) you're welcome to jump back in when you are. I will stay until everyone is done, but closing it at 6-6:30.

Please watch your kiddos. The water will still be high by then, and just because I'm trained in a lot of things, doesn't mean I want to dive after your kids :) There will be lots of people that aren't involved with this, we want yours safe!

It will be the same as last year where you start with me, then my wonderful Sherri will be in another location for second shots! This gives kids 2 chances to maybe look at the camera in a way that shows they love you lol!

No dads this time- minus moms with their kiddo that just happens to be a dad. Moms so rarely get spoiled, they get this moment! Dads are welcome to be there to help though!!

You are guaranteed ONE photo by Mother's Day. The rest don't have a timeline, but I do my best to get them back as quickly as possible. I do have 4 kids who insist on being in 2000000 things each, so my editing time revolves around them! Especially for free events.

Be respectful while you're there. If you bring things, pick them back up. Don't let your kiddos destroy flowers and other things there. Don't be rude with your words. I have the right to deny you, but I don't want to because you deserve photos!

If it rains- we will announce a rain day as soon as we possibly can!!

I have an event created, feel free to check in with it so you can see updates there as well!
