Hello 2026!

2025 was a reset year for my business. I have battled a ton of health issues and thanks to my lovely Rheumatology team at COPC I am slowly feeling better. Not 100%, but getting there!

I have a list of mini sessions and personal projects I will post soon, but first, Valentines Minis! I have had a lot of people asking so these are now live! These are perfect for babies (sitters and older please), children, friends (galentines!) couples and pets! PLEASE someone bring some furry friends to this mini!! 🐱 🐶

Not interested in Valentines Minis? I will also have Pet Minis, Awkward Family, Heirloom and Senior minis here soon! No particular order, but Senior Minis will be announced soon!

‼️ LONG Post Warning ‼️

If you haven’t noticed, I have been a bit quiet the last year. I have been dealing with my autoimmune disorder and last summer it flared and wouldn’t back down. This and Conners diagnosis on September forced me to take a big step back and slow down, which is not my strong suit. In December, my rheumatologist and I decided starting a low dose chemotherapy drug would be my best bet.

It has been a ROUGH three months. However, as of this week all my bloodwork shows my autoimmune disease is in remission and my kidneys are MUCH happier. I am actually feeling better than I have in months, well, years if I am being honest.

For the time being, I will be closed on Mondays, as my treatments are weekly and Monday is my “down” day.

But, since I am feeling so much better, I will be opening my books more this spring and summer! This weekend, I will post a birthday special since I turn the big 4-0 in just TWO weeks.

I will also be expanding my pet portrait business (finally) and opening more outdoor sessions since I can finally tolerate weather changes!

I will also open up some newborn spots this week and next.

Lastly, I will be doing a class of 2026 special since my oldest son will be graduating in 2026! Hard to believe!!

Keep an eye out for some great deals and fun announcements!!

There is a new coffee shop in town! They also have the BEST pastries! They are right by my studio, so its perfect for anyone needing a pick me up during those long newborn sessions! 😴

Well, we have kept it a secret long enough….and here’s the announcement that our followers and fans in have been waiting for! We moved in October 1st. We’ve made the space our own, we’ve trained new and some returning staff and tomorrow….is THE day! We will have our first day serving coffee and pastries inside at 36 E. depot Street, Pataskala!
In true Porters style, here we are the night before opening and just telling you! We are super excited to be in town and we strive for perfection, but there will be kinks and corks that we have to work out. Tomorrow is our soft opening and we will be serving from 630 to 12!! (inside only while we finalize the drive thru menu boards.) Please be kind to our staff, it’s new for everyone and we want it to be the best we can make it. Stay tuned for more to come on hours and the opening of the drive-thru. Cant wait for you to see the space, have a coffee, conversation and maybe one of our fresh out of the oven pastries or sandwiches too 💛

Total transparency alert!

If any of you have ever had a session with me, you know I talk about my family quite a bit. I know a lot of you have heard legendary stories about my youngest son Conner, who is my wild child.

This child actively seeks out Bigfoot, has caught a possum (and begged to keep it), has EATEN a spider (he was 2!) and tackled 5th-6th grade football players during his brothers game once.

He. Is. Wild.

However, he has been getting really sick the last six months or so. We could not pinpoint what was going on with him, but starting in May, he started to get so sick that he has had several hospitalizations.

Last week, my wild child was diagnosed with type one diabetes. My oldest son was diagnosed 15 years ago, so thankfully we know the symptoms and we were able to catch it pretty early. We are back at home, and adjusting to our “new normal“. I am happy to report that my wild child is quickly coming back to us.

Our community, family, and friends have been absolutely supportive to no end. My clients have been wonderful as well, I can’t thank you enough.

I am slowly getting caught back up from all of the madness. So please, if I do not text or email you back, just give me some time and shoot me a reminder. I am going on very little sleep, but am hopeful that I will be back on schedule very soon.

Long time, no post!

I had one heck of a summer! My youngest son got really sick, our family had a pretty bummer summer filled with every misfortune imaginable and we ended summer with a broken thumb/hand for my middle son and an ambulance ride for my youngest son. 🙃

Thankfully, everyone is on the mend and I am back in the studio full time since May.

But enough sad stuff! Dogs make everything better, right??

Meet Milgram and Howard! This was a birthday gift for their human, and we had a blast!! They were perfect little models and totally ate up every minute!

My fall is booking FAST, September is almost full and October will be filling shortly!

I have a fall special running Monday-Fridays for Families and Seniors! Reach out for details!

Who all got to witness the eclipse today!? Hearing the birds and crickets start chirping was pretty wild, and my chickens were SO confused! 😂
