May has been “birthday month” in our house!
Living in the newborn bubble and watching our first baby become a big sis has been the absolute sweetest 🥹💕

Thanks for your patience in responding to new inquiries! I’ll be slow to respond on maternity leave until the end of July, and booking for August and beyond!

Officially signing off for maternity leave from now until baby #2 arrives!

Finished my last session this week and continue to just be so grateful for all of you who trust me to capture these special times in your life, like my friends Heather and Kissy did for us in these photos!

I can’t believe how lucky I am to be becoming a double girl mom, truly I am living out all my dreams 😍

I’ll be around but slow to respond, and scheduling for August 2026 and beyond!

Much love! Happy early Mother’s Day!
Emily

I love including little things that you want to remember this season by, and families show up with the most beautiful keepsakes!

I’m currently looking at my calendar and just frozen flipping between the next couple of months and all there is to do… anyone else?!

To be completely honest, I thought hard about just skipping my motherhood mini sessions this year. I have a potty training toddler who takes 145% of my brain space, a new baby coming in a few months, and have to figure out what we should eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day (this is really the kicker 🤪😂). And when will this rainy stuff end?!

BUT they are important to me. Moms getting in front of the camera is important to me. Having great photos with their mom at each stage is important to your kids! I have a session scheduled with my own daughter this month to capture what will probably be the last professional photos of us when it’s just me and her 😭

SO! We’re doing it!

One day only, and slots will be very limited. Check your email this week for details and link to sign up, or dm me here on insta to get more info!

Y’all I have been SO very bad about sharing work on here (maybe late night nursing sessions will make me post more?! Who am I kidding I will probably just shop?! 😂) but wanted to share that we are expecting a BABY SISTER in late May! We are grateful and excited. Thank you so much for all of your continued prayers and support— it truly means the world!

—————SO what does this mean for you? ———————

1. Early spring motherhood minis! My Mother’s Day minis that typically take place in April/May will be taking place in March! Keep an eye on your email or dm your email address for first dibs! Instagram will be second to know 💐

2. I will be taking maternity leave from May-July. During these months, I will ONLY be scheduling my Wonder Year Collection families for milestone sessions. If you’ve had a newborn session recently and have been eyeing a collection, now is the time to secure your spot! 🏠

Can’t wait to continue to serve you all this year and continue to grow in understanding to be a better photographer for those of you who show up to sessions with multiple kids and babies 🤪!

Much love!
Emily

When people ask why I love in-home photography, I have so many answers… but for newborn sessions I think to myself, is there really any other option?!

Mom can finish getting ready while we take photos of the baby. You have all of your diapers, burp cloths, bottles, extra clothes, and toddler snacks (let’s be real, the most important and we can never have enough packed in a bag 🤣) right there. Your toddler can run around free until it’s their turn, and come into the frame happy, regulated, and smiling (can I get a woot woot for no fights about shoes). No uncomfortable shoes and lots of walking from the parking lot (um did I mention you literally JUST had a baby?!).

It. 👏
Just. 👏
Makes. 👏
Sense! 👏

Take a deep breath. Let’s just stay home!

When I take your family’s photos, it not just about having you on the other side of the camera (although, having quality photos of you with your kids, not just your kids, is something I’m so passionate about!)

I am thinking of things that I know you’ll want to remember that I can capture in your gallery— even if you haven’t thought of them yourself.

Have you ever asked your photographer to capture your kids hands? How often as toddlers do your children reach for your hands, and how much will you miss the exact feeling of that sticky, slimy, booger-y, warm, soft hand in yours?

Thank goodness I’m not out of this stage yet, but older parents tell me, “I never knew those would be the last times she reached for my hand every day” 😭

I always try to get a shot of hands if I can!

Turning the corner from 2025 to 2026!
What a big year… both hard and hopeful, as I know it was for many of you too. Here’s to more little moments of delight, milestones, creative fun, and doing it all together in the New Year.

Happy New Year!
Grateful for you all, as always!
