✨ We’re Back ✨

Life has been… life-ing lately. Between the dreary weather, busy schedules, and just realizing how precious time really is, I’ve taken a step back to slow down and soak in more moments with my kids. 🤍

One thing this season of life has reminded me is that memories matter. The big milestones, the little in-between moments, and the people we love most.

So while I may not be running at full speed anymore, I’m still here, still creating, and still passionate about capturing your memories… just on a smaller, slower, more intentional schedule.

I’m focusing on keeping photography joyful and sustainable while still serving the families and people who trust me with their moments. Thank you for sticking around through the quiet seasons too. 🫶

If there was a star pupil of babies… Camryn would win hands down. Nailed every pose. Slept through every frame.

This session was what newborn photography dreams are made of — peaceful, snuggly, and full of that brand-new kind of magic.

I’ve been feeling a little like I’m in an identity crisis lately — not in life, but in my style. I kept catching myself wondering why everything I create suddenly feels… different.
But the more I think about it, the more I realize maybe it’s not a crisis at all — maybe it’s just the season.
Summer felt light and airy, full of sunshine and pretty flowers. But now the air is changing, the light feels softer, and the world around me has this cozy, moody glow. And honestly… I’m here for it.
Maybe I’m just evolving with the seasons.
And fall? She’s always been my favorite anyway. 🤎✨

Hey friends! I’m on the lookout for a couple of families to model for upcoming newborn and Fresh 48 photo sessions. 💕

A little about me — I used to work in labor and delivery, so I’ve spent some years handling precious new babies with care and confidence. Baby safety is my #1 priority in every single session. You can rest easy knowing I know how to safely pose, soothe, and swaddle your little one, and that I’ll always follow baby’s cues.

I believe that newborn sessions should feel peaceful, cozy, and unhurried — not perfectly posed or overly staged. These sessions are about real moments — feed breaks, rocking sessions, little yawns, and those wrinkly feet that grow way too fast.

I go at baby’s pace. If they need to eat, we pause. If they need a cuddle, we take our time. A happy baby makes for the sweetest photos. 🩷

You don’t need to worry about squeezing into pre-pregnancy jeans or making your home magazine-perfect. I’m not there for perfection — I’m there for connection. I focus on sweet details of baby, maybe a few of big brother or sister meeting their new sibling, and mom soaking in those newborn snuggles.

Oh — and full honesty? 😅 I just got some adorable new newborn props, and I’m itching to use them… but my own baby isn’t quite a newborn anymore. So that’s where you come in!

If you’re expecting soon or recently welcomed your little one and would love to model for a discounted or complimentary session, send me a message or drop a 🍼below! If you know someone, tag them and send them my way!

Let’s capture those brand-new moments — tiny toes, milk-drunk smiles, and all.

✨ Biggest family session yet — 18 people and FOUR generations all together! ✨
This crew was so much fun to photograph — laughter, love, and all the in-between moments that remind me why I adore what I do. My heart was extra full seeing baby Charlee again… I photographed her as a newborn, and here we are just 4 months later — she’s grown so much already! 🥹💛
Sessions like this are the sweetest reminder that family truly is everything. 📸💫

✨ Hey friends, a quick update! ✨
I want to apologize for the longer-than-usual turnaround times on albums lately. My poor laptop just isn’t built to handle so many amazing memories at once (a good problem to have 😅).
Right now, I’m prioritizing paid sessions first while still working on model call albums. My goal is to have all albums finished within the next few weeks.
Thank you so much for your patience and support—it truly means the world to me. 💛

I stepped out of my comfort zone this past weekend.
After my scheduled session, I spotted a family trying to take phone pictures together. Normally, I’ll offer to take a quick photo with their phone (as a mom of 5, I know how special it is when someone offers to snap a shot of me with my kids — since I’m almost always the one behind the camera).

But today, I had my own camera in hand and a new lens I was eager to practice with. This sweet group of ladies was kind enough to let me take a few shots, and I’m so glad they said yes.

Three generations — just like how I grew up with my mom and grandma — all in one frame. The love and connection between them was so beautiful, it made braving the heat completely worth it. 💛📸d

This was one of the most sentimental and special sessions I’ve ever had the honor of photographing — a sweet new baby, a family session, and a birthday session all in one.

This year marks Karolina’s 10th birthday. And she made sure to let us know she was with us — leaving a little butterfly clip on the ground for her sister to find. The goosebumps I got when Knoxlin showed us that treasure were beyond words. I love the beautiful ways our loved ones remind us they’re always near. 💛🦋

Every year, Karolina’s parents choose to honor her memory through an act of kindness. This year, they’re donating to Luella’s Lodge — a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides support groups and holistic therapies for families grieving the loss of a child. Nestled on 10 peaceful acres with a private lake and trails, Luella’s Lodge offers a retreat where families can connect and find healing together.

It’s on my heart to share the link to donate directly to Luella’s Lodge, in honor of sweet Karolina: https://givebutter.com/luellaslodge
If you feel led, please consider donating — even the smallest gift can be a part of keeping her memory alive and helping other families through their grief. Be sure to put " " in the notes
