Lynchburg mamas, this is for you 🤍

If you’re pregnant or newly postpartum, having lactation support early can make a HUGE difference.

Not because something is wrong…
But because support helps you feel confident from the start.

I recently interviewed Jessica Smith, an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant and the heart behind Blue Ridge Lactation.

She shared that early support often:
• Prevents bigger challenges later
• Helps establish milk supply
• Gives you a clear plan moving forward

You don’t have to wait until you’re overwhelmed to ask for help.
I shared her full story + practical advice on the blog

Louisiana photographers, This two-day workshop will be held in Dry Prong, LA at BloomWell Studios during the week of April 6th (dates are flexible)

Teaching Newborn Photography is something I’ve dreamed about doing for 10 years... and it finally feels like the right time.
We moved to Virginia about two and a half years ago and I drive back a few times a year to visit everyone and host mini sessions. I still get messages from clients telling me they’re expecting another baby and wishing I could photograph them again. Those messages make me feel loved, but they are also really bittersweet.

Around the same time I moved, my friend Angel Denise also relocated. Angel is someone I trust deeply and respect so much as a newborn photographer. While she still returns to photograph clients when she can, she isn’t always able to accommodate everyone.After talking with Angel (and with her full support and permission), I’m going to be hosting my first Newborn Photography Mentoring Intensive inside BloomWell Studios, the same beautiful space she photographs in when she returns and rents to other photographers as well.

This mentoring experience is something I’ve thought about, prayed about, and planned for for years. Newborn photography is incredibly special, but it’s also one of the hardest genres to learn well without guidance. I know how overwhelming it can feel, because I’ve been there myself.

This mentoring will be intentionally small, either one photographer privately, or two photographers sharing the experience together, so that I can truly tailor the experience and walk alongside each photographer.I've been wanting to host this because I love to teach and I would love to refer my clients to photographers with a similar style and client experience. I want to help photographers feel confident during newborn sessions, build systems that make sessions flow smoothly, and grow into the trusted newborn photographer families rely on in their community.

Applications officially open Monday If this is something you would be interested in, message me and I’ll make sure you get the link when enrollment opens.
