Motherhood begins long before the baby is born.
It starts with dreaming. With preparing. With loving someone you haven’t even met yet. That anticipation is such a beautiful part of the journey.
And it deserves to be captured.

With Mother’s Day around the corner, a photo session makes the perfect gift for both expecting moms and moms already busy with their little ones. DM me and let’s capture your story 💬

Spending the afternoon with Angela’s extended family at .mae.studio was such a gift. Honestly, watching their connection and the way they lean into each other truly touched me, puppies included. ✨

And let’s talk about that “photo day” anxiety, especially when you’re worried your little one might be feeling shy or overwhelmed. You might think, “We’ll never get the shot.”

But here’s my promise to you: I match your family’s energy.

We don’t do “sit still and look at the camera” marathons. Instead, we move slowly. We build trust. We play. If a child needs a snack break, we pause, and often, those quiet pauses become my favorite photos. What we’re doing isn’t just a photoshoot, it’s a chance to slow down, be present, and just hang out.

When we prioritize comfort over “perfection,” the real magic happens. When you give a child space to just be themselves, your family’s heart finally gets to shine.

Ready to capture your family’s true energy without the pressure? DM me and let’s start planning your session! 📸

There’s something so magical about capturing the beginning of a new chapter ✨

Veruska was in the early stages of her pregnancy journey when I photographed her, and already that glow was undeniable.

These moments deserve to be remembered. Your everyday wonders! Not just the big milestones, but the soft, early ones too. The ones where everything still feels like a beautiful secret.

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and love is in the air 💕

But here’s the thing. You don’t need a special date or a big milestone to celebrate your love. Sometimes the most meaningful moments are the “just because” ones.

And because love stories are always worth sharing, scroll to the last photos to see mine, captured by my lovely tween daughter, aka my photography apprentice 📸

This carousel starts with a photo that’s incredibly close to my heart. My parents. They just completed 44 years together this January. I photographed them during a trip to Brazil last year, and seeing their love after all these years reminded me why I do what I do. Love that has weathered time, that still holds hands, that still looks at each other like the world stopped.

And then there are all the other beautiful couples who trusted me with their stories. Different stages. Different backgrounds. But the same thread running through every frame: connection.

Whether you’ve been together for decades like my parents or you’re just starting your journey together, these moments deserve to be captured. Not just on Valentine’s Day. Not just on anniversaries. But on ordinary Wednesdays when your love feels extraordinary.

Ready to celebrate your love story?

New year. Fresh look. Fresh you.

is a makeup artist who knows the power of transformation. She helps her clients show up as their best selves every single day. So when it came to her own branding photos? She wanted images that felt as polished and intentional as the work she creates.

We had so much fun bringing her vision to life. Her personality shines through every frame.

And here’s the thing. The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to think about how you’re showing up visually. Your website. Your socials. Your LinkedIn. The images that represent you everywhere should actually feel like you.

Because when your photos align with who you are and what you do, people connect with you before you even say a word. That’s the magic of intentional branding imagery.

Your brand evolves. Your photos should too.

Ready to refresh your visual presence this year?

DM me and let’s create something that finally feels like YOU 💬

New year. Fresh energy. And maybe it’s time your brand photos reflected who you actually are.

The beginning of the year is the perfect moment to think about updating your branding material. The visuals that represent you everywhere should actually tell your story. That professional image? It should feel like you.

Olethea gets it. Last year she came to me twice because she knows the power of keeping her image fresh and updated. Your brand evolves. Your photos should too.

And here’s the thing. Branding portraits don’t need to be boring. Stiff poses against plain backgrounds? That’s not what I’m here for.

This is what branding photos should feel like. Real personality. Genuine moments. And a whole lot of fun.

If your current headshot doesn’t spark joy, maybe it’s time for something new.

DM me and let’s create branding photos that finally feel right 💬

There’s something so special about being invited into someone’s home to capture their everyday magic ✨

Spending the morning with and her beautiful family was pure joy. Watching her paint little Lauren’s nails while those bright eyes sparkled with excitement. Little brother Paul observing it all, taking in every detail. And Hugh, right there in the midst of it, a family so connected, so present with each other.

These are the moments. The ones that happen between the big milestones. The quiet tenderness. The giggles. The togetherness.

Winter is the perfect season for cozy sessions at home. There’s something about the soft light, the warmth, the familiar corners of your space that makes everything feel so real. And one day, when the kids are grown, they’ll look back at these photos and remember exactly where their childhood unfolded. The walls that held their laughter. The corners filled with love.

I love being invited into your homes to capture your true everyday wonders 🤍
