🌿A small change to how I share your family’s memories 🌿

With recent changes in legislation surrounding children’s images and online privacy, I’ve made the decision to no longer share recognizable images of children’s faces on my social media or public portfolio, even when a contract includes permission to do so.

As a photographer who specializes in families and children, I know how meaningful it can be to have beautiful photographs to share with grandparents, friends, and loved ones online. I also know how important it is to protect our children’s privacy in an increasingly digital world.

So, moving forward, every full size family and child session will include an additional 5 complimentary “social-media-friendly” images. Mini sessions will include 1 image. These images will be intentionally photographed from angles that preserve the beauty and emotion of the moment while keeping your child’s face unidentifiable.

That means you’ll still have gorgeous, thoughtfully composed images that you can comfortably share with the people you love and I’ll still be able to showcase the heart and artistry of my work while prioritizing the privacy and safety of the children I photograph.

It’s a little change that I hope feels like a win for everyone.

And, as always, if you have questions, specific privacy requests, or something you’d like to discuss before your session, please never hesitate to reach out. Your comfort and your family’s privacy will always matter to me.

These two lovebirds got married yesterday, so what better time than now to share these beautiful moments?
We had the best time during this session, and the love, laughter, and playfulness these two share are truly palpable. It was such a joy to capture a little piece of their story together.
Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and a long, beautiful, and prosperous marriage. Congratulations, you two! 🥂

If you know me, you know I have an undeniable love for birds, so being invited to photograph a wedding at the National Aviary felt almost serendipitous. I had to do my best to contain my excitement and approach the day with some semblance of professionalism. 😂

There was something incredibly special about witnessing two people promise forever in a place so alive with beauty, wonder, and wildness. It was truly a dream and an honor to document Kelsey and David’s beautiful day.

I’m endlessly grateful they trusted me to preserve these moments for them, and even more grateful to have been welcomed into such a beautiful beginning. ♥️

When you give birth to your built-in best friend... and your favorite model. 🤣

Averie graciously let me test out my new in-home portrait setup, and seeing these images come to life has me so excited for what's ahead.

Beautiful portraits don't have to happen in a studio. Whether you need elevated professional headshots or timeless, heirloom-quality portraits of you and your loved ones, I bring a refined portrait experience directly to your home. Thoughtfully lit, beautifully styled, and created in a space where you and your family feel most at ease.
