“Let’s go where the blue flowers grow.”

Murphy is 6 months old, and her session was full of all the whimsical, heirloom magic we love so much. There’s something extra special about this stage—soft expressions, curious eyes, and the sweetest little details you never want to forget.

I’m always so grateful for families who bring such a gentle, joyful spirit to their sessions—and for great grandparents who gift these moments so thoughtfully. What a beautiful way to celebrate love across generations.

With Mother’s Day coming up on May 10th, consider gifting something meaningful this year—a session that captures the people you love most. The kind of memories that only grow more valuable with time. 🤍

Senior photos (or Keystone photos!) should celebrate you—your gifts, your passions, and where you’re headed next. ✨

Your photographer should take the time to get to know you—what you love, what lights you up, and what your future dreams look like. Together, we’ll use our imagination to create something meaningful when choosing your locations, outfits, and props.

I would absolutely love to be considered as your photographer this summer. From musicians 🎶 to athletes 🏐, theater lovers 🎭, and seniors who just love being in front of the camera—you are my people.

Got a long list of ideas and a car full of outfits?! YES. Let’s do it. 🙌

Let’s chat soon—I can’t wait to bring your photos to life! 💕

Hello everyone! Tomorrow the big guy in red will be here from 10-1pm and I am so excited to be taking your photos with him!

A few things to note-

When you arrive you can park in my driveway off of oak street- it is not perfectly shoveled and a little slippery so be extremely careful- if you want you can park in front of the driveway and then come through the big farm gates- walk around to the people door and then take off your shoes and coats and find a seat in the living room where there will be on some Christmas movies. Feel free to call me if you need help with anything.

Once I come down to greet you in the living - you may come up and join me in the christmas bedroom for your photos. Jammies, sweaters, red, neutrals, will all be adorable! We can take photos with Santa and without... it's up to you. If you have a book you would like him to read to your child and or do anything special please let me know and I can help direct that. The space I will be working in is very small so I ask that just one parent join me and only if the children need assistance- otherwise if you are willing to wait outside the room watching that is wonderful too so I can make sure to get what I need without bumping into others.

I will have hot cocoa and cookies to go. I ask that we do not eat them in the barn for fear of spills for other families coming and dressed for photos. I suggest WAITING on treats as otherwise getting messy and chocolatey can be really hard before hoping on an entirely white set and of course taking photos.

Looking forward to our time together!

Live, Love, & Capture.

READY? AIM. FIRE!!!

Mini's have been thrown over in record speed via email or instagram! If you do not see a message from me please let me know right away & I will get that over to you as I have ALL HOLiDAY MINIs galleries ready to go!

I am so excited to see how you make your holiday cards or decorate with your home with some of these. My favorite photos I have in my home during the winter are the cute basic mini's I have done of my kids over the years and the ways they have changed and just get more and more darling.. I hope you all feel the same.

Happy Holidays everyone.. I am now shifting my focus to the mini's on the 13th that will take place in my heated barn with Santa Clause! Excited for one more day of fun before I take little break and focus on my girls and enjoy their holiday break!

Live, Love, & Capture.

✨ Late-night Stillwater magic ✨

We squeezed in a little sparkle + glam session in the igloo just as the light was fading — because when you’ve got three daughters and last minute outfits, you shoot when you can!

Dusk gave us the dreamiest twinkle lights, a little grain, a little glow, and honestly… I love how these turned out.

I still have plenty of time slots for Igloo Minis on December 6th & 7th, and Santa Claus photos on December 13th. They’re going to be so cute!

Here comes the snow! ❄️ I’m so excited about these photos and wanted to share a few looks—daytime, dusk, and full-on winter night. Each one feels a little different, and honestly… I love them all. ✨

I’m hoping to photograph some teenage girls in here this week once their schedules slow down, just to show how adorable older kids look in this space too. And I can totally picture a cute couple in here as well! I even joked with a client today that you could dress your very cute, very jolly 30-something husband as Santa Claus… or even a snowman, and I would not judge in the least.

Which Hallmark movies are you turning on this week? I hear the snow is coming, and I’m thrilled to say my outdoor setup is fully decorated. Now I’m moving on to the barn—where cookies, hot chocolate, and greeters will be waiting when you arrive for your minis.

If you’re a planner, here’s how the flow will go: arrive a little early to your session, get changed and settled in the barn, and enjoy a holiday movie playing to keep kids entertained. When it’s your turn, we’ll walk out to the igloo together. Slip off shoes inside and have fun making magical photos and memories.

For those visiting Santa, you’re welcome to send me a small gift ahead of time to be wrapped and given from Santa to your child—just let me know. I’d love to help make the moment extra special.

Link to sign up is in the comments.

Behind the scenes 🤍📸

The sun set last night as I worked with a longtime client and friend, and it was actually perfect. From bright whites to dreamy twinkle lights, the whole setup is adorable. It’ll be so fun for families, grandkids, a gaggle of girlfriends, or a couple cozied up inside.

This little igloo can be photographed in so many ways and still feel timeless—one of those images you pull out and hold a little tighter as you decorate for the holidays.

There’s a link in my bio to sign up, but if you need help, please message me. I’m happy to call or walk you through it step by step.

Thank you so much for the love and support. I hope these bring joy to everyone this holiday season! 🎄✨

Holiday set building begins! My snow globe is bigger than I expected — like, my friend’s D1 basketball husband could actually fit in here! The photos are going to be incredible. We’re going to sell out, Santa is coming, and if my lucky stars align… Rudolph might be here too!

My snow globe setup will be built and decorated all month long, with sessions happening the first two weeks of December. Check your calendar — you’re not going to want to miss this! $175 + $25 per extra person!
