A little before & after editing magic ✨

The photo you see straight out of camera is just the beginning!

Every image I deliver is hand edited by me, one at a time. I carefully work on the color, lighting, skin tones, contrast and all of those little details that turn the original image into the finished portrait you receive.

I don’t believe in simply adding a filter and calling it done. Editing is a huge part of my creative process and honestly, one of my favorite parts. 🤍

This before & after is such a good example of how editing brings everything together while still keeping her looking like her.

So when you book a session with me, you aren't just paying for the time we're together in the studio. There is so much love and time that goes into your images after your session is over. ✨

How is my baby already in her last month of being a single-digit kid?! 🥹

Next month she turns 10, and I’m just not sure I’m ready for double digits. 😭 It feels like yesterday she was tiny, and somehow we’re already here.

I wanted to capture her exactly as she is right now — no big theme, no elaborate setup, just her at nine. 🤍 And honestly, I love how these turned out so much that they inspired something new for the studio!

I’m now offering simple monochrome milestone sessions — one color, a clean setup, and all the focus on your kiddo and who they are at this exact stage. Perfect for birthdays and those little milestones you don’t ever want to forget.

Because they really do grow way too fast. 🥹

For now, I’m soaking up every last day of nine before my baby hits double digits. 💚✨

You’d never know he cried through almost his entire cake smash. 😂🤎

But for one tiny moment… we got THIS smile. And you better believe I was ready for it! 📸

Sometimes cake smashes are full of giggles, sometimes they’re full of tears—and sometimes we get a little bit of both. Either way, we capture the memory. 🤎🎂

That little smile. Those tiny teeth. 🥹🤎

Sitter sessions are one of my absolute favorites! This stage is full of so much personality, sweet expressions, and all those little details you’ll want to remember forever.

Simple. Timeless. All about your little one. 🤎

to infinity… and beyond! 🚀✨

There’s just something magical about childhood and the characters that become their very best friends. 💙 This little guy brought the whole Toy Story crew along, and I absolutely love how these turned out!

These are the kinds of photos that will mean even more years from now—when the toys are packed away but the memories are still there. 🥹

To infinity… and beyond! 🚀✨

I had so much fun bringing Andy’s Room to life for these minis! 💙 There’s just something extra sweet about seeing little ones light up with their favorite toys.
And seriously… how cute is he with Buzz?! 🥹

A little peek at what I’m working on tonight 🤎

I’m loving how this sweet milestone session is coming together. That little smile and those tiny teeth! 🥹

Still lots of editing left to do, but I couldn’t resist sharing a peek before I close the computer for the night.

Goodnight! 🤎✨
