This heat has me craving for all things cozy, cool and Fall!

Who else is ready for that nice Autumn breeze? 🍂

A little about me!

1. I have six kids.
I always put this one first because it sets an honest expectation: life may look a little different for me than it does for other photographers. My days are full, my house is loud, and sometimes my work happens in the little pockets of time between motherhood. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Being a mother is a huge part of who I am, and it deeply influences the way I photograph families.

2. I’m all about connection over perfection.
I’d much rather capture the way your child naturally reaches for you than force everyone into a perfect pose. The giggles, the cuddles, the windblown hair, the tiny hands, the moments you didn’t even realize were happening… those are often my favorites!

3. I'm from France!
I grew up in the french country side (think rolling green hills, clothes drying on the line, slow living and AMAZING food). While I also grew up in the US, alot of the french culture and "joie de vivre" is embetted in who I am. I don't "hustle" and I'm not a "boss babe"... I take great care and take the time to get things done well, with a Café au lait in hand.

4. I’m a little obsessed with beautiful natural light.
Soft, dreamy, flattering light is one of my favorite ingredients in creating the Fig & Fawn look.

5. I love animals.
Before photography, I spent 12 years working as a veterinary assistant. So yes, your dog absolutely belongs in the family photos. 🐾

6. I’m a beach girl at heart.
Give me a quiet beach, a beautiful sunset, and my family, and I’m happy.

7. I love things that feel timeless.
I’m drawn to soft neutrals, beautiful textures, simplicity, and photographs that won’t feel dated years from now.

8. I believe your session should actually feel good.
I don’t want you spending an hour worrying about whether everyone is “doing it right.” I want you to relax, play, snuggle, laugh, and enjoy your people.

9. I’m probably going ask you to forget I’m there. Some of my favorite photographs happen when you stop looking at the camera and simply love on your family.

10. I want you to remember the feeling! Years from now, I hope your photographs take you right back to this season.

This session was so special because it captured their family of three, just before welcoming their newest little love. 💙

One sweet boy, one growing belly, and so much excitement for the baby who was almost here.

And now, that little one has arrived!

I love knowing these photographs will always take them back to this season — when their little boy was still their baby, and they were waiting to meet the newest member of their family.

What a beautiful thing to document.

Everyone once in a while, I take a look back at sessions from long ago…. And realize I still love them just as much as before!

There’s something so special about welcoming a newborn into the comfort of your own home. No packing the diaper bag, no rushing out the door, no trying to get everyone ready for an appointment.

Just your baby, your people, and the little moments that make this season so beautiful.

An at-home newborn session allows you to slow down and settle into the rhythm of your new family. We can photograph those sweet baby details, the cuddles on the couch, and the in-between moments that happen so naturally when you’re in your own space.

And if someone needs a diaper change, a feeding, or a little extra time to settle, we simply pause. There’s no rush.

Because these early days are already full of enough change. Your newborn session should feel like a gentle extension of the life you’re already living.
