✨Forever grateful to capture stories like this ✨

We met at the beautiful Auburn Courthouse, built in 1894 and still standing proud in the heart of our town. There’s something about these steps. So much history. I don’t know if you know this about me, but history is my all time favorite subject.

A place that’s filled with over a century of stories, change, and community. Long before this building was here, court was held in simple wooden structures during the Gold Rush days and now, it’s one of the few historic courthouses still standing strong in California.

And somehow, time and time again it’s the perfect backdrop.

This family brought such an effortless, grounded energy. Teenagers who are growing into themselves but still showing up, still laughing with their parents, still leaning in (even if it’s subtle). Those in between years are everything and they deserve to be remembered just like this.

I absolutely love the B Family. Being trusted to capture their story in a place that holds so much history is a gift in itself.

Timeless location, real connection, and capturing the moments that will matter.

Thank you &

There’s just something about fall light and growing families 🤎🍂

Big brother soaking in these last moments before his world changes and the sweetest little brother already so loved on the way.

Motherhood is my favorite story to capture. The quiet anticipation, the shifting seasons, the way love somehow makes more room without ever running out.

I’m always honored to freeze this chapter before everything changes in the most beautiful way.

Fall maternity sessions will forever have my heart. If you are interested in a spring maternity session, please DM me.

✨Golden light, sweet giggles, and the kind of love you can feel through the lens. ✨

I met this beautiful magical mama last spring and from the moment we connected I knew her family session would be something special.

Her kids? Absolute naturals in front of the camera—sweet, photogenic, and full of personality. The kind of energy that makes a session feel effortless.

But the truth is… the magic wasn’t just in the light or the location.

The magic is in you, babe.

In the way you love your kids. In the way they look at you. In the laughter, the chaos, the tiny moments in between. That’s the real beauty I get to capture.

These are the moments that become the memories. The ones you’ll look back on years from now and feel all over again. 🤍

Spring family sessions are booking now.

✨Golden hour, giggles, and the sweetest kind of chaos. ✨

These two little girls adore their parents. Both daddy’s girls and mommy’s littles.

They especially love their mama…and you can feel it in every moment. The way they lean into her, the way she brushes hair from their faces, the quiet way she watches over them. Motherhood is a thousand tiny acts of love, and she carries it all with so much grace.

Sessions like this are why I love what I do. Freezing these fleeting seasons before the little hands grow bigger.

Because one day, these girls will look back and see just how deeply they were loved. 🤍

✨Blended families just hit different. ✨

More love. More laughter. More personalities around the dinner table. More stories being written together.

This crew proves that family isn’t about how it started, it’s about choosing each other every single day.

And let’s be honest… when mom is an absolute babe holding it all together, working full time as a boss hair babe, the whole vibe is just chef’s kiss. 🔥

The way they showed up for this session…playful, connected, and completely themselves, is exactly why I love photographing families like this. Real life. Real love. Real magic.

Because families don’t have to be perfect to be beautiful… they just have to be real. 🤍

Now booking spring family sessions.

Thank you for letting me take photos of your sweet family.

Motherhood sessions deserve their own posts.

Motherhood deserves to be documented with intention and artistry. Not rushed. Not posed for perfection, but curated with care.

As a photographer, I believe motherhood deserves to be documented honestly.

The beautiful, the messy, the emotional in-between. Maternity sessions allow me to slow down and capture this fleeting season with intention and heart.

These moments matter and they deserve to be remembered. So if you are on the fence about booking a session, I say DO IT!

Booking spring sessions now.

Thank you for letting me capture your memories.

This maternity session was special and magical. My dear friend H, has supported my business since I first started.

Maternity sessions for rainbow babies always hit different. There’s a depth, a tenderness, and a gratitude you can feel through the lens.
I was honored to freeze this moment in time, where hope and love meet, and a miracle is on the way.

Thank you for letting me be apart of your memories.

Ten years married, four littles running wild, and a whole lot of love in between 🌲🤍

This forest session was secretly planned by T as a surprise for A to celebrate their ten year anniversary—and it couldn’t have been more perfect. These photos were taken at their wedding venue making it even a more meaningful session. Proof that love only gets richer with time, laughter gets louder, and memories are worth documenting.

Guys… this is your sign. Surprise her with the photos. Capture the season. Celebrate the story you’re building together.

✨ Purple skies + denim blue vibes ✨

There’s something magical about a family session where everything just clicks — the colors, the mood, the laughter. The sky showed off with soft purples, the wardrobe was perfectly denim-cozy, and this mama? An absolute babe in every frame.

This sweet mom holds such a special place in my teacher heart. She’s well known in our community for being a fabulous teacher, and we share so many of the same wonderful families. It’s one of the many reminders of how incredible this profession truly is — how connected, supportive, and full of heart it can be.

This family made the evening feel effortless. Joyful. Warm. The kind of session that fills my cup and reminds me why I love what I do. 💜📸

Thank you for being you.

🌻✨ Golden light, golden hour, and a family overflowing with joy.

This sunflower field felt extra magical as we celebrated the sweetest season of growth — inside and out.

Little J is absolutely glowing with excitement to become a big brother, and Baby H is already so loved. Watching this family soak in these last moments before they become four was such an honor.

Sunflowers, soft blues and golds, and a whole lot of love — the perfect recipe for a dreamy session. 🌾💛

Thank you for letting me be apart of this sweet memory.

Thank you to for letting me use her amazing sunflower fields.

🌻 Sunflower Mommy & Me Magic 🌻

I just adore this family — and I adore S. Time and time again, she comes back and supports my little business, and it truly means the world to me. Getting to photograph her growing family in the sunflower fields this year felt extra special.

Baby Z is the sweetest, most easygoing little girl, and R absolutely shines as a big brother. Watching them together is pure sunshine. ✨

Thank you , for trusting me again and again. Sessions like this are why I love what I do. 💛🌻

Thank you for having such beautiful sunflowers time and time again. 🌻
