Hi friends! 🩷

I blinked and somehow we’re already more than halfway through summer. It has been shockingly full around here—in the very best way. It also makes me a little sad because I’m not ready for summer to end. Honestly, I think I’m less ready for school to start than my kids are!

Between family, creative projects, home projects, and all the little things that make up life, this summer has brought more than I expected. I’m grateful for every bit of it, but I’m also ready to slow down for just a tiny bit.

I’m taking the next two weeks to spend some extra time with my family, relax, and recharge before August rolls around and things are pressing again. No worries, I’m still working through inquiries, finalizing bookings, staying connected with all of my couples, and making sure everyone feels taken care of—my inbox is just moving a little slower than usual. If something is urgent, feel free to send a second reminder email or text me. There’s a good chance I may have overlooked it in the shuffle!

Also! I’m spending some time behind the scenes making some changes and hopefully bringing some exciting updates to what I’ll be offering my couples. If you’ve ever dreamed of having a beautiful wedding album sitting on your coffee table instead of letting your images live only on a screen (or the mysterious “cloud” 😂)… stay tuned. I have some things coming soon that I’m really excited about when it comes to making sure your photographs are enjoyed for years to come.

Brb. ✌🏻 I’ll be spending the next couple weeks with my people. August will be here soon with back-to-school, last pool days, fall mini session bookings, and another full season of beautiful celebrations. 🤎

I never officially shared this sweet session of Chloe + Lindel. 🌸

Adsmore in Princeton was the perfect backdrop for a story that’s been actual years in the making.

These two have been best friends since first grade, and they’re getting married on the anniversary of the day they first met. 🥰

Their story is one I could tell over and over again. Some love stories don’t just begin-they grow up together. 🥹🤍

Hi friends! Happy July!! 🎇

Big update - I’m still here! For those of you who don’t know (and I should really share more of this part of my life in my stories but) we have aggressively been working on the addition to our house. I had started an Instagram page for our home/hobby farm a few years ago, but IYKYK I am the worst at social media so updating so it’s been rather stagnant. Needless to say there is a TOONNN of stuff to share on there when I am able to.

Whoa, welcome to my ADHD though… The point of this post is to say that I am still here AND for those of you who are waiting on galleries THANK YOU SO MUCH for your patience. 🥺 In addition to all of the home renovations, there have also been changes in my business and home office. Shameless plug, if you are just getting started in photography or looking for inexpensive equipment to pick up, I have several things for sale! If you are interested message me.

NEXT - I have had some major internet issues as well. We are now Starlink people which, for the short period of time of far, has proven to be a wonderful decision.

Needless to say, thank you all for hanging with me! I really appreciate it. You are all wonderful! 💛
