Just a few weeks ago, they were waiting for their newest little love. 🤍

Tomorrow, I get to photograph them again, this time with baby in their arms.

I love getting to document both sides of this season.

Now booking for January 2027 due dates 🤍

Three First Year Memberships booked this week, which officially means my 2026 calendar is FULL. 🤍

And seeing an album like this finished is such a beautiful reminder of why I created these memberships in the first place.

One album. An entire year of becoming a family.

Maternity. Newborn. Milestones. Holidays. First birthday.

All of those tiny details and changing seasons, preserved together in one heirloom album instead of living somewhere on a camera roll.

And maybe my favorite part? The grandparents each receive a matching album of their own 🤍

I’m incredibly grateful for the families who have trusted me to document these chapters.

First Year Memberships for 2027 are now booking. If you’re expecting and want your baby’s first year documented from beginning to first birthday, I would love to tell you more.

This is the kind of gift that only becomes more valuable with time.

“Summer has a way of reminding us that childhood is made of ordinary days we’ll someday wish we could have back.” 🤍

Bare feet. Sun kissed cheeks. Later bedtimes. Little hands reaching for ours. Somehow, the summers with our children always seem to go by faster than we’re ready for.

And this one has been especially sweet.

I’m so incredibly grateful to share that my summer calendar is officially FULL. Thank you to every family who has trusted me to preserve a little piece of this season for you. It never stops feeling special to be invited into these chapters of your lives.

As we head toward fall, my calendar is filling quickly too.

I currently have just ONE session remaining in October and a few openings in November for full sessions.

I also have limited weekday availability in October and November for Simplicity Sessions in the studio.

And for those of you already thinking about the holidays, keep an eye on your inbox this week. ✨ I’ll be sharing all the details for this year’s mini sessions, which will be offered exclusively for Santa and Holiday studio sessions.

If family portraits have been on your heart for this fall, now is the time to reach out. I would love to create something beautiful and lasting for your family. 🤍

The colors matter. The papers matter. The way a frame is built matters. These are the little details that determine whether your artwork still looks beautiful decades from now or starts to fade, yellow, or fall apart.

That’s why I work with professional print labs and custom framers I trust. I want every piece that leaves my studio to be something your children will one day hang in their own homes.

When you work with me, I don’t just photograph your family. I help create artwork that becomes part of your story. Every print, every frame, and every decision is chosen with your family in mind.

Because seasons this meaningful deserve to last.

Did you know I help design your artwork after your session?

One of my favorite parts of this job happens AFTER we’ve taken the photos.

I’ll come to your home, help you narrow down your favorites, talk through the best places for artwork, and help you choose custom framing that complements your space.

The best part? I use design software that lets you see your actual images on your actual walls before you order. No guessing. No taping paper templates to the wall. No wondering if the frame is the right size or if it matches your home.

You get to see exactly how it will look before it’s ever made.

It’s one of those little details that takes the stress out of the process and makes the final result feel so intentional.

Actually wait, theres another best part: when it arrives, guess who gets to come and install it?? Yours truly.

Gosh, I love what I get to do.

Happy Birthday, Dad.

One of my favorite images from this newborn session. Your baby boy, all smiles, wrapped in the very blanket that once wrapped you.

These are the kinds of family stories I love preserving.

Happy Birthday. I hope it’s a great one.

One whole year of Emma.

Watching this little girl grow has been such a privilege. There is something so special about looking back through a first year and seeing just how much can change in twelve short months.

Happy first birthday, Emma. Wishing you a lifetime filled with the same joy you bring to everyone around you. 🤍
