Friends!

I will have a very limited schedule available Aug/Sept/Oct.

If we have not locked in your session, but I've given some options - those dates are not yours until a retainer is paid and contract signed.

I will offer shorter fall family sessions on certain days/location only this year due to my schedule. I have not finalized those dates yet. Comment below if you want beach, fall color, open field, or park if you're interested in booking a fall session.

As always, I am so appreciative towards you allowing me to document this life. 🫶🏻

When you have family come together over the weekend from multiple states, you schedule photos of course!

When you have multiple immediate families, extended family sessions look a little different than traditional family sessions. I focus on getting the important group shots first, then break down into grandkids with grandparents, adult siblings with parents, and individual families and any other pairing requests. Extended family sessions can have a more chaotic feel when you have everyone in the same space at the same time, BUT I PROMISE IT IS WORTH IT.

All sessions look different based on family size and location but one thing remains true, you will not have those moments together again for awhile so give me some of your time spent together and we will get it done!

Photo tax below 🫶🏻

Gonna try something new for this year to keep me busy so tag your daycares/preschools!

Back to School - 5 digital images / $25 per child / no facility fees.
Offered during the week in August & September at the daycare. Think daycare picture day!

Christmas - 5 digital images / $25 per child / no facility fees.
Offered during the week in October & November at the daycare.
Perfect for parents to recruit daycares help for smiles and something sweet to help your daycare parents with since daycare can sometimes get more smiles than the parents (at least in the case of my own children when younger 🙃)

so tag/share any daycare owners/teachers to see if they'd host! Reach out via messenger if interested!

*Photos are stock. If there is interest, these will be ordered.

Got bored and edited a second shoot wedding outside of my normal style and swayed more film-like. Almost feels like the emotion pops more 🤔
