If maternity photos were a poem, they might read like a sonnet of a growing belly… a song of light softly caressing her skin… or perhaps just a few quiet lines of strength and beauty.
Holding everything in their simplicity, while somehow conveying it all in their complexity.

It’s not just about documenting that you were pregnant — it’s about preserving how it felt to be here.
The anticipation. The stillness. The becoming.

For mothers in South Tampa and the surrounding areas, this is your gentle reminder: don’t rush past this chapter. These images become more than photographs — they become a return to a version of you that held so much.

For photographers, maternity is where emotion meets intention. When you lean into movement, natural light, and the beautiful lines of life within, you create something deeper than a portrait. Save this post to return to.

If you’re expecting, I would be honored to document this fleeting, yet beautiful season for you.

I wasn’t looking for these. I just knew they were there.

They’ve lived quietly in my mind for years, leaving behind their imprint.

There’s nothing particularly remarkable about them, and yet… they are everything I know as my childhood. The in-between moments. The ones where I wasn’t perfectly posed, wasn’t wearing the smile I practiced in the mirror a thousand times.

Just me, as I was.
And somehow, those are the images that hold everything.

Maybe that’s the point of photographs…
not the moment you prepare for, but the one you almost miss.

That’s the story.
And it’s one I’m always honored to capture for you.

sibling moments just hit different for me. moments like this of my own babes are the ones that get me the most.

unscripted. undirected. just a v***r in time that I’ll go back to for eternity.

It’s been nearly a decade of having the sweetest honor of being a mentor for and, this weekend, I get to join the other educators at to refuel our souls. 🙌🏻

The talent that these women bring to the table is intimidating to say the least and to sit among them, I just don’t have words for. ✨ But also equally emotional to get to hang with my besties, and and fight over who gets to share a bed with who. And of course to hug for an awkwardly long time.

Longest “out of the office” post of all time but, let’s be honest, I’m not in the office on the weekends anyway. 🫶🏻 Thanks to my captain (iykyk) for holding down the fort.

✨ M O D E L C A L L ✨ I’m opening a model call for my iconic black & white portrait series, The Childhood Narrative.

I’ve been invited to create an educational piece for photographers, sharing how I conceptualize and shoot this known and loved series, along with behind-the-scenes film footage of me working through a session in real time. 🙌🏻

If you have a child who you feel would be a perfect fit—or if you’re simply curious to learn more— comment “Narrative” below and I’ll send the model call application straight to your DMs. 🤌🏻🙏🏻

Some friendships mark a season. Some become part of who you are... the kind of friendship you hope they always carry with them. ✨This is eight grade, preserved.

If you’re in a season you don’t ever want to forget, I’m here to capture it for you. 💕

The beauty of motherhood exactly as it is… and quite possibly the best seat in the home to hold it all. 💕
