Hospital bags are officially packed 🫡 now we just patiently wait on this little one to make his or her arrival!

I think I’ve packed less and less with each baby now because I’ve realized how little I’ve really needed with each stay. But let me know if you think forgetting any important essentials! 🤔

Or tell me something funny you packed/swore you’d need during your first birth experience. 😜👇🏽

Motherhood has shaped my work in more ways than I could have ever imagined.

From how I run my business, what I value, to what “success” looks like to me. But beyond that…the longer I’m a mother, the more deeply I appreciate the work I get to create for other families too.

For the seasons of motherhood I’ve already walked through, I have the perspective to know just how quickly it all changes. The tiny wrinkles and folds. The way little fingers hold onto a crayon. The way they tuck themselves into their favorite lovey. The sweet gibberish that before you know it becomes full-blown conversation.

I know how fleeting it is, even when it doesn’t feel that way in the moment…& that perspective has shaped the way I photograph your family.

And for the seasons I haven’t experienced yet, your families give me something beautiful to look forward to. A glimpse of what’s ahead. A reminder that there is so much goodness waiting on the other side of the season I’m in now too.

That’s what I want my work to do for you.

To capture your family in a way that feels joyful and true to who you are right now, while also creating something you can return to years from now and be transported right back to this little piece of your story.

The imagery you invest in isn’t just about remembering what your family looked like.

It’s about remembering what it felt like to be *right* here. ♥️

It’s so funny for me now to think back on my early photography career. When newborns and big families used to intimidate me…👀

Obviously some of that was a lack of a lot of experience with it as a former mostly wedding photographer. And a LOT of it was lack of perspective because everything changed when I became a mom myself, and suddenly I saw the entire world differently.

Now when I get a session on the calendar, the MORE kids there are the more excited I get. 😜

Is there more to manage? Absolutely. But the chaos, the movement, the composition and building of layers and dimension you can get from bigger families just lights me right up!!

It’s so sweet that both of my final newborn sessions before maternity leave have been for baby number 4 (and repeat clients) 🙌🏽😍

Capturing the joy and excitement of this season for your sweet families is never ever lost on me. I’m so very grateful. 🤍

I feel like I have done zero updates on baby stuff and prep so here is a little nursery tour for our surprise gender babe who will be joining us so soon!

If you have any ideas for it, send em my way. Keeping it super minimalistic for now and will add in some more touches once we know who this sweet baby is. 🥰

This pregnancy has felt like such a whirlwind. 😮‍💨

I feel like I’ve navigated 10x as many appointments as I’m used to, while simultaneously trying to keep up with the business, my family, and all of the things I had hoped I would accomplish before baby arrives.

And if I’m being honest…I haven’t really had a chance to catch up on a lot of the things I wanted / intended to do.

I haven’t gotten the podcast back up and running.
I haven’t checked all the business projects off my list.
I haven’t really started nesting or packing out hospital bags (prob should get on that!!)🤷🏽‍♀️

And I definitely haven’t felt like I’ve had as much margin as I imagined I would by now. But I’m learning that that’s more than okay. This is just the season we’re in right now— growing our family, not necessarily business.

Later this week will mark my last session until January, and after that I’m going to let myself step away from the camera and give my attention to the things that matter most right now and soaking up these final weeks with my two “big” kids and Jordan before we become a family of five. 🤍

After years of uncertainty surrounding whether we would even get to plan for this baby, I feel incredibly grateful that this is the season we’re in.

The unfinished list can wait.
I know I’ll get to those things eventually.

For now, I’m choosing to slow down, nest, rest, and enjoy this little window of time before everything changes again.
And while I’m taking a break from shooting, there are still plenty of ways to work with me:

- 3 spots remain for my Winter In-Home Special
- My January–April calendar is open for in-home, studio, family + maternity sessions
- My digital education products are available anytime
- And I’m offering 20% off my 12-week coaching container when booked now through March. You can begin anytime after January — just message me if you’d like to chat about it.

I’ll see you back behind the camera in January, and I’ll be here sharing the rest in the meantime! 🤍📷

Last time I photographed them, little brother was still growing in mama’s belly. This time, he was here and we got to capture this beautiful new wholeness of their family with him right in the middle of it. 🫶🏼

And this is exactly why I love Milestone Collections so much!!

Most of my families use a collection to document a full pregnancy journey like maternity + newborn, birth + newborn, or newborn + 6 months.

But you don’t have to follow a specific timeline to make it meaningful. If you know you want two or more sessions within a year, you can create your own collection and document whatever this season of your family looks like!

And then, at the end of it all, we turn those memories into an album — a little family yearbook if you will.

I can’t wait to create theirs. 🤍

Because there’s something so special about watching a family grow from one session to the next and getting to tell the whole story. It will never be lost on me. Maybe it’s a bit of the pregnancy hormones…but lately I’ve been so overwhelmed at how WONDERFUL the families are that I get the honor of working with. 🥹

When your cheeks actually hurt from smiling through shooting and editing session THIS joyful and precious.

My goal when working with your family is to keep the joybombs happy, at all costs. 😂🙌🏽

Normally it’s by following their lead, keeping things moving, letting them be involved, and hoping they forget there’s even a camera there at all. And ok, sometimes there’s a *little* bribery involved but that never hurt nobody, right?

It was so sweet getting to photograph Caitlin Romano and her precious fam again after doing newborn photos for their second baby this past winter. Seeing how much he’s already grown and how beautifully their family is knit together was such a treat! 🥹

I’ve got a BUSYYYYY 2 weeks of sessions left before maternity leave so ya girl is gonna be in full-on hustle mode until then. Can’t wait to see so many more gorg families and babes before wrapping up this work that I know I’ll be missing so much while I step away for a bit! 💕

As I get closer to stepping away for maternity leave (after the first week of October!!) I wanted to open up a short window of significant savings on three of my favorite ways to learn with me!! 🫶🏼

Whether you’re wanting to:
• create more intentional, connected family images
• finally start incorporating albums into your business
• or have some one-on-one time to talk through the thing you’re currently stuck on...

I’ve got something for you, my friend!

I’ve spent years figuring out how to build a photography business that is profitable, sustainable, and actually allows me to have the life I desire outside of my business…and these resources are where I’ve packaged up so much of what I’ve learned along the way!

And because I’m about to take a break for a little while to have BABY #3 🥹, I’m making these available with some pretty significant savings for the next 4 days only!

Want the details?
Comment ME and I’ll send everything straight to your DMs!

Just a heads up: the special savings end Saturday, September 26! 🤍
