I found this little book at the Shadle library sale 💜

It reminded me of when I came up with my business name—Acorns + Oak Photography.

It walks through the life of an acorn… how something so small can grow into something strong, rooted, and ever-changing.

And it made me realize how much my life has grown in the last few years too.

When I started this business, I was stepping into something new.
Since then, I’ve grown not just as a photographer—but as a mom.

Now I get to capture that same kind of growth for other families.

Because your story is unfolding too, one season at a time.

And even the smallest moments… end up meaning everything.

They grow in the blink of an eye.

If you’ve been thinking about getting photos taken, this is your sign 💜

One of the questions I hear most often before a studio session is:

“What kind of backdrops do you have?”

And I totally get why. The backdrop helps set the tone for your photos — but it’s not the whole set.

In the studio, a backdrop is usually just the foundation. From there, I might add flooring, curtains, soft fabrics, baskets, furniture, seasonal props, florals, or layered textures depending on the session.

That means the same backdrop can feel completely different for a milestone session, maternity session, newborn session, a pet portrait, or a holiday mini.

I recently created a Backdrop, Flooring & Set Styling Page so you can see some of what I currently have available, and I wrote a new blog post explaining how I use those pieces across different session types.

Whether you love simple and timeless or something more creative and themed, the goal is always the same: a set that feels intentional, personal, and beautifully styled around your story.

A little BTS today. Business has been busy!!! Luckily that means I can use some of that income for new gear, backdrops, newborn wraps—you get it. My studio is getting full!! I’m knee deep in retouching so it is nice to step aside and do some hands on stuff to balance the day out. My sweet Skyler is currently napping in her own crib today, and she has been for the last week. It’s wild how much I needed the routine too and that nap time to get stuff done!

Happy Mother's Day! 💐

You can plan the outfits, pick the location, time it around naps, pack the snacks, and imagine exactly how your session will go.
And then your toddler may decide the dirt is more interesting than the flowers.

Your baby may need extra snuggles.
Your child may feel shy, silly, emotional, tired, or wild.

That does not mean the session is ruined.
It just means we adjust.

We slow down. We play. We take breaks. We follow their lead. We let them be little.
Because the goal is not to force your family into a perfect version of the day.

The goal is to capture the season you are actually in — the tiny hands, the real smiles, the snuggles, the movement, the curiosity, and all the little details you’ll miss someday.
So if you’re worried your kids “won’t cooperate” for photos, take a deep breath.
They don’t have to be perfect.

The session doesn’t have to be perfect.
We can still create beautiful photos. 💜
