When I first launched Pizza & Headshots, the idea was pretty simple. I wanted to create an affordable, low-pressure way for local professionals to update their headshots without committing to a full branding session.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized I was putting this little event in a box.

Why should business owners have all the fun?

Why couldn't families come in for updated portraits? Or parents who haven't had a nice photo of their kids in years? Or graduates celebrating a milestone? Or someone who just wants a great photo of themselves for no reason other than they deserve one?

So I made a change.

Welcome to Portrait & Pizza Tuesdays. (All Summer)

It's still the same colorful studio. The same relaxed atmosphere. The same quick and easy experience. And yes, the same pizza. 🍕

The only difference is that now it's open to everyone.

Because sometimes you don't need a full session with months of planning. Sometimes you just want updated photos, a fun experience, and a reason to celebrate the season you're in right now.

You book the session. I'll order the pizza. 🍕📸

I spend a lot of time behind screens.

Editing photos. Answering emails. Creating content. Scrolling when I should probably be folding laundry. 😆

So there was something incredibly satisfying about sitting down, picking up a needle and thread, and making something with my hands.

No notifications.
No algorithms.
No endless scrolling.

Just a photo, a little creativity, and the simple joy of watching something come together one stitch at a time.

This summer, I'm teaching my first Photo Embroidery class, and I can't wait to share it with you.

If you've been looking for a reason to unplug, try something new, and leave with a piece of art you created yourself, this might be exactly what you need.

🧵 Stop doomscrolling and make something with your hands.

I'd love to see you there, ♥️Tiff

The funny thing about summer is that it always feels like there's more time.

More sunsets.

More beach days.

More opportunities to get around to the things you've been meaning to do.

And then somehow it's Labor Day.

If family photos have been sitting on your summer bucket list, here are four ways we can make it happen this season.

No perfect outfits required.

No perfectly behaved kids required.

Just your family, exactly as you are right now.

Because these are the moments that become memories.

Summer starts here.

Summer, circa 1990-something.

When I think about my own childhood summers...

I remember long days on the softball field.
I remember catching lightning bugs in a jar.
I remember riding bikes until the streetlights came on.
I remember chasing down the ice cream man.
I remember staging very important New Kids on the Block photoshoots with my best friends.

The funny thing about memories is that the moments that stay with us are rarely the ones we planned. They're the ordinary moments that felt ordinary at the time.

That's why I love photographing families the way I do. I know I'm playing the long game, but something in my heart overflows when I think about the value of this work 20 years from now. Your hands wrapped around a set of 4x6 prints, smiling at the giggles, remembering the side-eyes, laughing about the bumper butts, remembering how many times I had that kid high five the monkey (IYKYK), just holding proof of a season that once felt ordinary but became everything. Small moments that become memories.

Summer starts here.

Summer starts here.

The sandy feet. The late sunsets. The sticky popsicle hands. The way your kids look right now without you even realizing it’s changing.

Every year we think we’ll remember these little moments forever and then suddenly… the season is over.

I wrote something today that’s been sitting on my heart for a while:
“Summer Starts Here: Don’t Let This Season Slip By.”

And honestly? I think a lot of us need the reminder.
