Chicka Chicka Boom Boom…will there be enough room…for sister?

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t imagine being able to build a full sized big boy bedroom and a big nursery for baby girl. But instead, before first having Harrison, we converted our old bar and video game nook into a room that ended up being just perfect enough for a big boy bed, dresser and toys, and his old bassinet is set up next to our bed for baby girl. Truth is, getting ready for baby #2, at least in our experience, teaches you how much you really don’t need and how to appreciate what you do have.

Which brings me to the theme behind this absolutely special home session with our friend . With a backbone of an idea by me and Shannen’s artistic eye, I think we created what I’ll call Home is Wherever I’m with you. We wanted to capture what I’m enjoying today as I write this (amidst chaos because well… 87 weeks pregnant with a toddler) - slow weekend days at home as a family of 3 in PJ’s all day while daddy makes us food, we play and take out every hot wheel we own, and snuggle and laugh and cry and everything in between. We read books and talk to baby sister in mommy’s belly and do construction and “pay pay” (skateboards) with daddy.

There are so many emotions we’re all going through as we wait on baby sister. Will I be able to still be enough for our toddler when I know I won’t physically be the same for a bit? How will she fit in with our routine and lives? Harrison loves her now but will he feel the same when she’s earthside and not just cozy in mommy’s belly? All the worries though…I just know they’ll be accompanied by pure love for both of our kiddos. Pride in how big Harrison is and how smart he’s getting and how big of a helper we know he’s going to be. Joy around a new baby who we already love so much and can’t wait to snuggle.

So we enjoy this last weekend as three. And I remain forever grateful for Shannen for capturing these moments. Harrison won’t remember life before a sibling, but we sure will, we’ll tell him about it and he’ll always be our first baby ❤️

Felt inspired to leave my camera out all day. Plenty of snow day fun as we hibernate out at Gaga’s house ❄️🫶🏼

Happy December 🎄 I had so much fun seeing this crew a year later and with their adorable new addition 🥰

PS, a huge cheers to for being the best hosts ever for beautiful Holiday photos! If you’re looking to chop down your tree and want to support local, they’re the people to see!

Girlhood…plus their families 💕🥰
This was such fun session with these two beautiful families and their babies! Everyone had a blast and I can’t get over their sweet smiles 🥹

11/26/2025

I’ve gotten so many sweet words for clients - old and new - as I’ve been delivering Holiday photos. Things including “it’s so hard to get shots of our crew together…we absolutely love them!” and commenting on how I did so nicely even though the kids were a little wild. Here’s the thing: whether they want to cheese calmly for the camera, or they practiced their best cheese face at home but when you got to the farm all they wanted to do was chase trees and try to eat a leaf or two, this is them NOW and it’s perfect! My method for photography for this reason is always a mix between posed and candids because well, as a mom of a very active and opinionated toddler myself, I know dang well posing kids ain’t always easy. That’s why we TRY for the smiling at the camera photo but we never force it! Kids feed off of our energy for sure, so if they’re not feeling it and they just want to play, that’s okay! Let the photo session, even if it’s just 15 minutes, be a fun experience. Let them smile, run…all of it. I’ll be there to document all of the smiles, chaos and everything in between ❤️

(PS, how beautiful is this family!)

Last year it was a surprise engagement ring and one pup, this year there’s a wedding band and a second pup 😍 Always the best time with the Kramels and their girls 🐾

Nothing makes my mama heart smile bigger than being able to capture sweet smiles like this for other mamas 🥲

Fall and Holiday photo season is in full swing over here! Had so much fun at the park with these two cuties and their parents 😍

And just like that, my 2025 wedding season has come to an end!! 🎊

I’ve had the most fun celebrating your love. Boogying with ya on the dance floor. Crying during your parent dances and vows. Cheesing all day because I truly love this job. I was lucky enough this year to work almost 30 weddings, including a few of my own amazing couples, and second shooting for so many of the most talented humans on this island, old friends and new. I close out my photography season this month with 2 more days of holiday minis and 2 more sessions, and then my husband and I dive into nesting mode for new baby!

On that note, cheers to the best hubby for all the solo bedtimes this year. Having a job I love is great but I’d be lying if I said leaving our boy on weekends when I’m already working full time during the week isn’t tough. It’s a busy season of life, but I’m so grateful.

2026 couples - if you still need your beach wedding photographer, I’m open for bookings for 2026 weddings June and beyond!! Portrait friends - I’m accepting sessions again starting April, as I’ll be taking some much needed time to spend with family & heal up (maybe it’ll be sooner, but I’m anticipating that postpartum may again be no joke and I’ll need to give my body grace!). Bo***ir will happen again in July for my beach ladies (hit up if you have no idea what I’m taking about, and anyone who still has to order your albums let’s get these in before the Holiday!!) I’ll be around on here, and vendor friends if you still want a second shooter for next year you know where to find me 😃

Not trying to make this sound like some acceptance speech but credit needs to be given where credit is due, so THANK you to my coworkers and friends below for your trust this year in inviting me along to celebrate your couples behind the camera. Cheers to next season!!! ❤️

In no particular order, cheers to all the amazing photo friends I’ve worked with this season: .kratky

Oh, what a day for Caroline & Jon 🫶🏼

The hardest part of my job for this wedding - picking photos for a post. They had the most special day on the beach with their family, friends, and their pups. Caroline, who’s also super talented ( !!) hand wrote place cards for each guest and made the resin for her own decor. She saved flowers and dried them for years for her flower girl to use. Caroline walked down the aisle with her proud dad to the Jurassic Park theme song to Jon, who she just knew she’d marry. They said the most heartfelt vows with not a dry eye in place, hidden behind hand made sunglasses paired with smiles on every face. Their puppos Jiffy and Tanya were the goodest girls, helped Caroline get ready, walked Jon down the aisle and crashed the reception. The dance floor was never empty. The Disney references by the man of honor and officiants were not in short supply, and Jon absolutely Kissed the Girl! Congratulations to Jiffy and Tanya, oh…I mean Caroline and Jon, on forever!!!! ❤️

Oh how excited I am to post this…one of my favorite little dudes Chase is gonna be a BIG BROTHER! From the moment I met the Covas crew, walking into their house with Rangers decor and a funny but appropriately worded candle about the “becoming parents and sh*t,” I knew they would be instant besties. Well now they’re gonna be parents and sh*t x2, and I couldn’t be more stoked for them 😍

I first talked to Alex when he was planning to propose to Jess, his girlfriend. Met them both in person seconds after they sealed the deal on forever with a beautiful ring on the beach. That girlfriend Alex first messaged me about - she’s now his gorgeous wife, mama to their first babe, and carrying their second child. This was such a sweet time to capture for them in cozy outfits on a sunny fall afternoon, digging in the sand with big sis M and anticipating their newest little 🥹
