Your photos belong on the wall. Not just on your phone.

I'll say it gently. If your gallery only lives on your phone, it's probably a lot like a junk drawer. You go in when you need something. Otherwise you don't really know what's in there.

I remember being little and looking at my walls and seeing proof that I was loved. Proof that I belonged.

Our kids deserve to walk into their home and see themselves on the wall, every single day.

Save this for when you're ready to print them.

Things my clients do that mean a lot to me.

Sending me a photo of your portraits hanging in your home. Coming back as your family grows. Trusting me even when your toddler wants nothing to do with the camera.

Thank you for letting me be part of your family's story. It means more than you know. 🤍

Which of these moments is your favorite from our time together?

If getting everyone to look at the camera at the same time is the part of family photos you’re already stressing about, you can let that one go.

We’ll get the everyone-together photo, but we don’t spend the whole session trying to make your kids sit still and smile at me.

Some of my favorite photos happen when they’re laughing with Dad, climbing into Mom’s lap, or completely forgetting there’s a camera there.

You bring your family. I’ll work with whatever they give me.

If this sounds more like the kind of family session you want, I’d love to photograph yours.

Thinking about family photos this fall, but also thinking you'd like to lose some weight first?

Let me change your mind.

Your kids aren't looking at you the way you're looking at yourself. They see their mom.

Someday, when they look back at these photos, they won't be wishing you looked any different. They'll be thankful you were there.

You deserve to exist in your family's photographs too. 🤍

Send this to a mom who needs to hear it.

You don't need to be ready for photos. You need to be in them.

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves as moms is that we have to be 100% ready before we take photos.

We're never going to be perfect. We're never going to be ready enough. And waiting teaches our kids they have to be perfect before they're allowed to do anything.

These photos are for them, and for future you. For when they're graduating, or having kids of their own, and want to see what their mom looked like and felt like in this season.

Sometimes photos are all we have left of somebody.

Good news. You don't have to be perfect. 🤍

Should your partner come to your maternity session?
If you want them there, absolutely.

As an Inland Empire maternity photographer, I love creating a mix of portraits during a session. We can keep plenty of the focus on you and your pregnancy while also making room for a few photos together.

Because this season isn’t only about documenting your growing belly. It’s also about the two of you waiting to meet this little person you already love.

And if your partner’s first response is, “But I don’t know what to do in photos,” don’t worry. I’ll guide both of you.

Would you want a few photos with your partner or keep your maternity session focused on you?

The imperfect photos usually end up being the favorites.

The silly faces. The hug that's a little too tight. The sibling who starts crying.

I know how much pressure we put on ourselves as moms. The outfits, the hair, the smiles. All of it perfect.

But when I'm stressed, it shows in the photos. And kids feel it first.

So let them be kids. Let them make the face. Let it be a little messy.

Photos are how we lock a moment into our memories. The real ones are the ones you'll keep.

Save this for the morning of your next session. 🤍

I'm sorry, I can't right now.

I'm busy making sure Mom is actually in the pictures.

Her laugh. Her arms around them. The way she looks at them when she thinks no one is watching.

That's the part they'll look for later.

Tag the mom who deserves to be in the frame.

Is it just me, or do newborn toes deserve their own photo?

There are so many little things I photograph during a newborn session that you probably aren’t thinking about when you book.

The tiny toes. The way they curl up. That serious little sleeping face.

You don’t have to come in with a list of what to capture. That part is my job. You just get to sit back and watch me fuss over all the little details.
