It's a gift to bear witness to a family just being. I've been wanting to do more sessions where I go to a home, give limited directions, and then follow wherever the family's current takes us. don't want to get overly wrapped up in nailing a perfect shot and miss out on capturing what it's like to be present with the family.

That's what I was able to accomplish in this session and the results are everything I hoped they would be. ❤️

Hello! I've been pretty absent here, but I'm still playing catch up on some editing and considering what I want to do this year. I'm leaning towards saying no a lot. It's hard but I think it's for the best. In the fall I bit off way more than I could chew and while I love connecting with individuals in this way, stretching myself so thin is just not a place I want to be with something I love.

With that said, I am thinking of offering some Mother's Day/May sessions again, but they'll look a little different. I'm still ironing out all the logistics, but I'd be using florals again and in a bigger space — I'd also give a few minutes to 1-2 whole family shots with dad if you so desire. It isn't exclusively for moms either, but this is just going to be the timing of it.

This might be the only time I do family shoots this year, unfortunately. I'm spending some time reflecting on my work as a photographer and I'm just not sure what that looks like yet, but I know it is going to take some space to figure it out!

Thanks for being here and indulging me! Shoot me a message if you're interested in a May session and I'll put you on an email list for first dibs for sign ups, if it works out! Space will be super limited because I want to give the best quality work I can! 😘

I'm very behind on sharing updated work here. Between being a mom to two kids, having two part-jobs, and all the other things life throws at you, I just haven't had time! But I worked on this beautiful wedding a little the last couple days and I can't not share! Hannah and Jake were the sweetest, loveliest vision. Their wedding was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes many times. I can't express what an honor and privilege it is to get such an intimate look into someone's love. ❤️

Sometimes there are people who come along and touch your life so deeply you'll never be the same. Rachel and Eloise are some of those people. Rachel is such a fierce advocate for her daughter and Eloise just leans into her with pure trust and joy. It's a passionate mother child bond. The kisses and laughter and smiles and tenderness — I shed a lot of tears editing these moments. Rachel has and is walking an incredibly difficult path as a mother. She and all the mothers like her are the heroes of the world.

This session was a privilege and an honor and I am changed by it. ❤️

We tacked a breastfeeding session onto Hannah's mother's day shoot and it was so beautiful and moving I just can't not share it. I don't know how to say how much of a privilege this was for me to capture. To enter into a sacred and intimate space and be trusted to communicate that love and bond into an image. It's deep and I'll treasure it. I don't take for granted the ways people let me into their lives to freeze time for them for all the years to come. It is such a tender trust.

I had dreamed of doing this for years and the fact that it actually happened just makes me want to cry. I'd been mulling on it for so long and then just went for it and it turned out so beautiful. That second photo just gets me because it looks better than what I had even imagined. I'm chipping away at editing all these mother's day photos and some of them are moving me so deeply I'm struggling to hold back tears. There was a lot of beautiful love that showed up in these sessions and I hope you can feel it too. It's a special love. ❤️
