Disney After Hours at Hollywood Studios was 10/10! Ronnie and I rode all the rides after the park closed with minimal waits. We ended the night with fun drinks at Oga’s and had Rise of Resistance to ourselves. A perfect 14th anniversary gift to each other!

NEWBORN SESSIONS - The first few weeks are a blur.

A blur of tiny fingers and toes, sleepy stretches, late night snuggles, and falling in love with a little person you’ve only just met.

My newborn sessions are relaxed, baby led, and focused on connection. Rather than elaborate props or stiff posing, I focus on preserving your baby just as they are and the love that surrounds them.

• When should I book?
I recommend reserving your session during your second trimester to ensure availability around your due date.

• When does the session take place?
Most newborn sessions are photographed within the first 2–3 weeks after birth, but beautiful images can be created at any age.

• Who can be included?
Parents and siblings are always welcome and encouraged.

• What should we wear?
Simple, neutral clothing photographs beautifully and keeps the focus on your family. I’ll provide styling guidance before your session.

• What is my style?
Natural, timeless, and connection focused. My goal is to create images that feel genuine today and just as meaningful years from now.

The goal isn’t just beautiful photos - it’s preserving a season you’ll never experience quite the same way again.

Gladys is a momma!

A few weeks ago, she quietly built a nest beneath a tree in our front yard and made herself right at home. She laid a total of 9 eggs and 8 ducklings hatched. One little egg didn’t make it. Ben named that duckling Jimmy and we buried him in our flower garden 🥹.

It has been such a joy checking on Gladys every day and watching over her these past few weeks. We counted eggs, waited patiently, and celebrated when her ducklings arrived.

Yesterday morning, while we were all sleeping, Gladys gathered her babies and left the nest.

Last night, Dino spotted her swimming down the river behind our house with all 8 ducklings trailing closely behind. We’re hoping Gladys decides to swim by often so we can watch her babies grow ❤️.

It is so hard to feel inspired during hibernation season. I’m so thankful for today’s beautiful sunset, Emma’s static trampoline hair, and that it’s the first day of spring tomorrow.

What a week! We crushed over 125 ice cream cones, rode water slides more than 150 times, played in 4 game shows, stayed offline, soaked up the sun, and didn’t want the fun to end.
