This is your reminder….

Be YOU.
You are irreplaceable.
You have people who look up to you.
Your younger self couldn’t wait to be YOU.

Find joy in the little things.
Don’t judge yourself too harshly.
Try new things and fail hard.
Then, try them again. And again. And again.

One day, this time will be a memory,
And you’ll wish to have it back.

Take the photos.
Tell people you love them.
BUY THE CONCERT TICKETS! 🫶🏻

These little moments go by so fast.
You forget in the hustle of the days that it doesn’t last forever. Every stage is temporary.

My kids no longer sit on my hip. They don’t need me at every waking moment, and while that comes with more freedom for all of us, it’s bittersweet.

I wish I had more photos like this 😭

The way I tell stories has evolved.

So it only felt right that my brand did too.

A fresh look. The same heart behind the camera.

See you soon,

One thing about me….. I will forever have the need to wander.

It fuels my creativity.
It helps calm my mind.
It’s part of me.

I’ve hiked up and down mountains, put my toes in sand and climbed over rocks. Watched countless sunrises and sunsets, and stared up at the midnight skies. I am in awe every single time.

I don’t feel the need to take a photo of every one of those moments. Just being, alone or with my people, is quite literally the best part.

Staying still. Being immersed in the moment. We need more of THAT.

Everyone says it goes fast because it actually does. Moments like these are here and then they’re gone and photographs are the best way to keep them forever.

My kids have memories because of photos. They trigger your brain to remember that time. It’s the most magical thing and I am so thankful I get to do this as a job.

Family sessions are the best 🥰

The most beautiful images can come from the quietest of times. Because from now on, those quiet moments become the ones that mean the most.

Still taking family sessions and honestly, this might be one of the best times of year to book.

Early summer gives us cooler evenings, fewer bugs, lush green landscapes, and those unreal golden sunsets that make everything feel a little magical. The days are longer, the light is softer, and your kids can actually enjoy being outside without melting.

If you’ve been thinking about updating family photos, this is your sign. Summer calendars fill quickly, and these sunset sessions are always some of my favorites.

Just documenting the days that they still fit perfectly in your arms.

I don’t photograph many newborns anymore, but when I do it’s usually for friends I’ve known for decades and it just makes me all warm and fuzzy to my core 🥰

If there are florals……..

I will be there 😍

Still me, just showing up with a little refresh on who I am.

I’m Vanessa. I married the love of my life — 15+ years and counting. Two tiny humans call me “Mom” approximately 736 times a day, and two rambunctious rescue pups are the reason I can’t have nice things.

I’m a two-time severe , and that experience is woven into everything I am and the reason why this business even started.

I’m a photographer committed to making portraits that are beautiful, meaningful, and real. And yes, I will travel for sessions, I knew you’d ask. My soul has a deep need to wander and I work hard to feed it.

At home you’ll find me slowly turning my space into a jungle, buried in a book or blanket, cooking and cleaning in the kitchen for the millionth time, or going for a run/walk to clear my mind. I love a good drama series but I just really love to laugh. Send me all your favorite comedies!

Nature and music are my therapy. A sunrise or sunset surrounded by peace and quiet is my happiest place. I’m constantly working on becoming the human I want to be and letting go of everyone else’s expectations, one day at a time.

Quality time. Acts of service. Words of affirmation. That’s how I love, mostly in that order.

What makes you YOU? What do we have in common? Tell me!

Thank you .joy.photography for a couple pictures of ME!
