this summer, my goal is simple.

i want to get as many moms in front of my lens as possible.

because the truth is… you can’t be fully present while also documenting it all at the same time.

you either end up:
behind the camera
setting up the tripod
trying to make the moment happen
or halfway in it while thinking about capturing it before it’s gone

and i don’t want that for you.

i want you to actually feel your life while someone else holds onto it for you.

i want your kids to remember you in the moment with them.
not constantly stepping out of it to take the photo.

this summer, i want to document barefoot backyard evenings, snack breaks, chaos, cuddles, laughter, water hoses, ice cream runs, and all the little moments that don’t feel important until suddenly they are.

you deserve to be part of your memories too

i’ve been thinking about this a lot after talking on stories yesterday…

because i think a lot of us are in the same place.

we’re with our kids all the time
but it doesn’t always feel like connection

it feels like managing
rushing
trying to keep up

and i had this moment where i was like…

wait.

when was the last time i was just with her
without thinking about everything else?

and i didn’t have a good answer.

and that kind of sat with me.

because i don’t actually want more time…

i just want time that feels different.

more present
more intentional
more like something i’ll remember

and that’s kind of where this idea started.

something simple
low pressure
just you and your kid
as you are

i’ll share more soon 🤍

04/04/2026

i feel like a lot of us are just moving through the days right now

like not in this light, easy, fully present way
more like… just trying to keep up with everything

the world feels heavy
your brain feels full
and you’re still expected to just keep showing up like normal

and most days… you are
even if it doesn’t feel like it

but then your kid says something random
or starts laughing
or asks you to come watch them

and for a second you’re like… wait

this is still here?

and that’s the part i keep coming back to

life didn’t stop being beautiful
it just got layered with a lot of other things

and i think we wait
we tell ourselves we’ll slow down
we’ll notice it
we’ll document it
when things feel lighter again

but what if this is the season
and this is what it actually looked like

not perfect
not calm
but still full of moments that mattered

this is exactly why i photograph families the way i do

because this version of your life… counts too

Can you believe we’re at the end of October?

If you’re like me, you’re wondering where the time went. You're looking back and hoping you made the most of it with your kids.

You did all the things. You showed up. You kept life moving, even when it felt impossible. And sometimes it feels like you don’t have a lot to show for it.

But you do. You have the love, the chaos, the memories that happened in between.

That’s why when I photograph families, I focus on moms like you....the ones behind the scenes making the real magic happen.

You’ve been there for every meltdown, every bedtime snuggle, every tiny “watch this!” moment. You deserve to be seen in this season too. 🖤

10/14/2025

From the moment we become moms, fear starts whispering in our ears.
They tell us “it goes by so fast.”
“You only get eighteen summers.”
“You’ll miss this one day.”

And while those words are meant to be gentle reminders, for so many of us they become a weight.

That mindset has stolen so much of my joy over the years.
It’s made me panic through the hard moments, convinced I was somehow wasting precious time.
It’s made every rough patch feel catastrophic because I couldn’t stop thinking,
“This time is slipping away.”

I’ve even used that same message in my own marketing before,
because it’s everywhere.
And it’s powerful.
But it’s also paralyzing.

The truth is, yes, time does move fast.
The phases change.
But when I slow down, like I did this morning over breakfast with Remi,
when I really see her, hear her, and just sit in the simple goodness of the moment,
I realize that presence makes time feel abundant.

When you stop chasing the years ahead,
you finally get to soak up the one you’re in.

Because this year, this phase, this breakfast,
is just as special as all the ones that came before
and all the ones still waiting for us.

Here are my go-to kid-friendly snacks that keep the mood happy without leaving sticky fingers or orange mouths:

🥨 Mini pretzels – no mess, easy to chew, and bonus: they’re quiet
🍎 Dried apples or apple chips – they feel fall-y and won’t drip on clothes
🧀 Cheese cubes in a tiny snack cup – protein = better moods, always
🍫 Mini chocolate chips – yes, even for a little treat. Way less messy than M&Ms or full chocolate bars
🍬 Tiny gummies (like Annie’s bunnies) – small, fast, and easy to pop between shots

✨ Avoid:
❌ Chips (greasy fingers!)
❌ Lollipops/sticky candy (get stuck in hair + make drool faces)
❌ Juicy fruit

Fall Minis are meant to be quick, cozy, and full of love—not stress. 🧡

I get this question all the time and honestly? I love it. Because it gives me a chance to say:

You do not need an hour to get magic.
You just need 15 minutes, a real connection, and someone who knows how to make your family feel at ease (hi, it’s me 👋).

So here’s how to make the most of your fall mini session:

Keep it simple.
Don’t overthink outfits. You don’t need to match...just wear something comfortable that feels like you.

Let go of the pressure.
The goal isn’t perfection...it’s connection. Real smiles, squishy hugs, messy love.

Trust the process.
I’ll guide you the whole way. You don’t need to know what to do...I’ve got the posing, prompting, and vibe covered.

Show up with your full heart.
That’s it. That’s the secret.

Fall Minis are live!

Let’s talk about my favorite natural poses for your fall mini session 🍁📸

And when I say “poses” I really mean prompts—because I don’t want you to feel stiff or forced. These are the moments I gently guide you into that create the magic:

Mom touching her kid’s face.
There’s something so tender about that little forehead touch or a hand brushing hair behind their ear. It says: I see you. I love you. I’m here.

Dad tossing the kids or a piggyback ride.
Always brings out the laughs. It’s playful, real, and shows that pure joy only kids and their dads can create together.

Parents snuggled together.
Because you matter too. This isn’t just about the kids—it’s about your connection. Your story. And how safe love can feel.

These aren’t about perfection.
They’re about presence.

Fall is already flying by. Let’s slow it down—even just for 15 minutes.
