📷 I’ve been sitting on this for a while, and it finally feels right to say it out loud…

I’m opening a small number of photography sessions for 2026!
If you’ve followed along for a bit, you probably noticed that I stepped back from client work over the last few years. I was spending so much time working on my business, traveling to sessions, late nights editing and it pulled me from time with my kids that I didn’t want to miss. Pressing pause was the right call for my family, and for me.

During that time, I never stopped creating. I picked up my camera for things that felt new and fun again like brands, Airbnbs, products, nature, bird photography. I let myself experiment, learn, and shift. It helped me rediscover what I love most about photographing people: honest connection, slow moments, child-led stories, and families showing up exactly as they are.

So moving forward, things will look slightly different.
I’m keeping my calendar intentionally light.
I want to give every family the space and attention they deserve.
I want sessions that feel relaxed, real, and personal.
I want to work with families who love the documentary approach (the cozy in-between bits, the laughter, the quiet, and the realness).

For 2026, I’ll be offering:
• Family sessions
• Maternity sessions (+ newborn sessions exclusively for maternity clients)
• A small handful of couples sessions

Because I haven’t taken on clients in a while, I’m opening with a soft relaunch: a small thank-you for the first few families who book.

If you’ve been waiting to book or you’ve wanted photos that feel authentic to your family, I’d love to photograph your story.

Send me a message and we can chat through details, availability, and see if we’re a great fit.

It feels good to be back.
Not rushed. Not overwhelmed.
Just ready for the kind of work that feels true to me.. and hopefully special for you too. 🥰

Hi 👋

I'm still shooting even though it's not all just clients. It's for brands, the rescue ( ), myself and now a new found passion for nature photography.

I don't want to clutter up this account with those other posts so be sure to follow if any of that interests you! That's where I will mostly be hanging out so I hope to see you there 😘

PS. This sweet boy is Sully and he is available for adoption ❤️

I don't often post any of my couple's photography but man. I've been sitting on photos from this session since last year and I just had to share.

Chenine and Greg were such troopers in that cold, cold water!

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯?

Send me an email ([email protected]) and let me know what type of session you're looking for as well as which month. I'm also more than happy to hop on a quick phone call if you mention that in your email!

I will send over my available dates for your chosen month. Then you send over a $200 non-refundable retainer to secure your session.

If you know which collection you're wanting, you can start making monthly payments! If you'd rather wait to see your photos, then you can choose your collection after your session and pay then.

I offer bundled discounts when booking more than one session. These sessions don't necessarily have to be maternity and newborn. They can be any type of session you'd like as long as they're booked in the same consultation!

I'm so grateful to all of my clients and your continuing support!

If you are a parent, with more than one kid.. Then I bet you'll understand what I'm feeling.

As my baby days are coming to an end.. I have been soaking it all in. As much as I can anyways. But I've been feeling that tinge of mom guilt.

I know my girls are the absolute best of friends. Most days they share and play SO well together. In that respect, I am really happy that we wanted to have them closer together. But I sometimes feel guilty that my oldest, the one who made me a mom, hasn't gotten as much 1:1 time.
My husband and I are more tired now as parents, being pulled in more directions all at once.

While I want to soak up my last baby days, I also want to connect with her, and also love on my 2-year-old. My heart sometimes breaks that the baby days are flying by so I hold onto him a little bit tighter. Then I start to feel guilty for not soaking up time with my girls. Thinking back on when it was just her. When she was given all of us. When we had the energy to devote solely to her.

I know it will get easier. The baby days will pass (😭), I'll have a bit more energy to chase after and play with them. I just try to remind her how proud I am of who she's becoming, of how much we love her, how much I appreciate her. And I hope she feels it. Even while I'm stuck a little in this survival mode. I know this season will pass. Today is just a hard day on my heart. Loving them all but only one of me. ❤️

The March transition from full-on Winter to cold-Spring is a time when my I start to feel just a little less restless. A little less like I want to run away to somewhere warmer.
My summer days will be filled with beaches, sunshine, family and new beginnings.
It seems to be a slow process to get to them though... and then before you know it, they're gone.
My children (well, at least the one in the photo. Lennox has a bit of a hate-on for cold and snow.) have shown me that it doesn't matter what the weather is like, that we can always have fun and get outside.
I'm doing much better at enjoying the season we are in, while we are in it. If you're usually not a winter fan, I hope you try to do the same!
