✨ It’s that time! ✨

The most magical event of the year is officially coming back… Christmas Minis!

Where my signature light & airy style meets all the charm of Christmas, these sessions are the perfect way to document your family’s holiday season. And the best part? Dress them up or keep it casual — there are no wrong choices here.

This year, I’m offering FOUR dates + TWO completely different Christmas looks:

🎄 MY PERSONAL STUDIO - VB
November 7 • 8 • 15
Think light, airy, timeless Christmas magic.

✨ FAIR WEATHER FARMS - Chesapeake
November 21
A totally different setting with its own cozy Christmas charm!

These are always some of my favorite sessions of the entire year, and I cannot wait to create a little Christmas magic with your family.

The booking link will go out to my mailing list this Sunday at 8am. These spots always go fast so be sure you set your alarms! I cannot wait to see you and your family there this year!

How is this even possible?! I’ve known this beauty since she was just 1 day old, and now somehow she’s off to college next year!

Watching her grow into the beautiful, funny, confident young woman she is today has been such a gift.

I already know she’s going to absolutely thrive - not just in her senior year, but in life in general. So grateful I get to be here to capture this chapter… and even more excited to see where this next adventure takes her.

Hugging all the senior moms this season, it’s a bittersweet milestone for sure!

The sweetest sisters + sunshine + one of my favorite locations … yes please! ✨

Anyone else gripping onto summer as long as possible? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Before we know it, we will be wearing sweaters, chatting about pumpkin spice, and picking out pumpkins for the porch! Until then, I’m going to be enjoying the warm weather and sunshine as much as possible!

Are you still holding onto summer or ready are you ready for the cooler season to begin?

Cheers to 15 years of choosing each other every day… even on the days when one of us is definitely wrong. 😂

We’ve grown together as a couple, figured things out together, laughed until we cried, raised our favorite girlies, and yet still genuinely like hanging out with each other.

Marriage isn’t always glamorous - sometimes it’s errands, inside jokes, deciding on the right shade of white paint, and deciding what’s for dinner for the 4,000th time. But through all of it, I’d choose you over and over.

Happy 15 years to my husband, my best friend, and my favorite person to do life with. Sharing some of my favorites from our shoot with Christine this summer!

POV: you blinked and your baby turned ONE. 🥹

One year sessions might just be one of my favorite things. Watching their little personalities come out (especially once they’ve tried cake!) is just the sweetest thing!

It’s the tippy toes for me 🥹 This lil guy is going to make the best big brother in just a few short weeks!

This year I’ve felt a huge shift in my clients requests and one of the main things I’ve noticed is more unique locations - more greenery, more backyards, more flowers (LOVE this!). Most years I spend most my evenings at the beach but I have loved the amazing variety your families have requested! It has been so refreshing to switch things up and use locations that are special to you!

They’ll never be this little again. 🥹

I know I say it all the time, but goodness… that first year flies by. Even more so when there are older siblings keeping everyone on their toes.

One thing I’ve heard over and over from parents is this: you’ll never regret taking the photos. Long after the tiny newborn stretches and sleepy snuggles are gone, these images will bring you right back to this sweet season. I can’t imagine a better gift than that!

There’s truly no place like home. In-home newborn sessions will always have a special place in my heart - they tell your family’s story exactly where it begins! 🤍

This is your sign to not skip the 6 month milestone! 😍 It’s a favorite milestone for so many reasons - but mostly for the gummy smiles, the chubby little rolls, the tiny personality that’s shining through! This little gal may have been the happiest girlie in the studio ever, and we had so much fun documenting her in this season!

Goodness this maternity session was so sweet (and do you happen to peep big brother’s favorite toy that made it in - I actually love that!). This session was part of my Motherhood Event and I keep these sessions intentionally limited so every client gets my full attention, an unhurried experience, and images worth passing down. I’m thinking about opening up a date with this backdrop in a couple weeks so if you were sad to have missed the event, I’d love to have you in front of the lens this summer! Be sure you are on the mailing list to sign up!
