I don’t know about you, but the idea of withholding your family photos hoping that you’ll give me money just doesn’t sit right with me. It feels icky.

This is why my sessions are all-inclusive, meaning I don’t hold back anything when you receive your final gallery. You’ll get all the best photos from your session, always 50+, but often times more.

No upselling. No price per/image. No obligated product purchases. None of that. These are your family photos, and I truly want you to enjoy them.

How do we decide on the perfect location for your family photoshoot?

I'm all about capturing your family in spaces where you can truly be yourselves. Think vast parks, the quiet expanse of private land, or your own backyard.

(Newborn sessions take place in your home; it's where your stories unfold most authentically, and is why it’s a great option for maternity and family sessions, too.)

Finding unique outdoor locations (parks, nature preserves, old historic buildings, etc.) genuinely sparks joy in my work.

If a creative, unique location sounds interesting, I have a list of spots I’d love to try that I’m happy to share. Or, if you have a place dear to your family, I'm all in to make those specific memories shine through our session, too. 🫶

It's been a while, guys. The last time I was on here, I wasn't planning on going dark for a few months. Since we last caught up, I got married, enjoyed the most amazing honeymoon, and found out my husband and I are expecting our first daughter. :)

It's been a wild time, and I acknowledge that staying on top of socials has taken the backseat for a bit. I appreciate you and your patience with me.

I'll be here more often to keep you all up to date on everything going on over here! Spring sessions, minis, and new offerings. Can't wait to share with you all. 💚

Loudest shoutout to Lakeside Park for being open to us again! I seriously missed bringing families here while it was under renovation, but it truly looks better than ever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With that said, here are some sneak peaks from my first session back at the park ✨

The truest moments (I believe) are captured when you're lost in your actions, whether it's laughing together, connecting with your baby-on-the-way, or outside enjoying nature.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During your session, we'll hang out, play some games, and have a good time while I stay focused on capturing the moments that make your family unique - the laughter, the silly faces, the quiet moments of tenderness.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll let you know when to look at the camera, but until then, just be yourself and enjoy the moment. So, let's take a deep breath and get ready to explore, laugh, and connect with your kiddos. Most importantly, get ready to truly enjoy the moment. :)

Friendly reminder that there's nothing better than chill, natural home maternity photos. 🖤

Not sure what to expect during your in home newborn session? ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​My top priority is to keep your in home newborn session effortless and true to you. In my view, the best photos happen when you're fully engaged in the moment, whether that's sharing a laugh, bonding with your baby, or just hanging out in your backyard.

I'll cue you on when to look at the camera; otherwise, I encourage you to relax, be in the moment, and enjoy yourselves. And of course, if there's a need to pause for a baby feeding or a little comforting, we have the flexibility to do so, resuming once everyone's settled. :)
