Sometimes God sends me people as a reminder and rekindling of my purpose and my why.

They are always unexpected and deeply needed—showing up at exactly the right time.

These specific people and sessions always stay strongly in my heart, even years later.

Sarah came to the studio with her sweet husband—full of excitement.

They are expecting a beautiful baby boy.

She shared she has been dreaming of this maternity session for years, and after experiencing loss, she finally was able to book a session and get the maternity portraits she has been dreaming of…for what felt like forever.

For me, hearing this was humbling.

It reawakened the meaning and purpose of what I do.

It was a reminder that my job is about more than just taking photos. It’s the experience in the session, of being vulnerable—but excited to share your story.

It is molding visual art into an expression of the feelings and spirit beneath the surface.

My joy in watching Sarah glow, smile, and beam with confidence, while her adoring husband encouraged her, showering her with love—was overwhelming.

I watched her navigate a slight fear of doing something new, to then embracing FULLY what this session truly means.

She is having her baby.
This is real.
Hope abounds.

It was astonishingly beautiful.

And that experience is my why.

The sessions can change—but the root is the same.

I don’t HAVE to do this job.
I’m not stuck here and grumbling.
I’m not doing this because it’s a good paycheck or it’s the only job I could find.

I WANT to. I am honored to.

Sarah didn’t HAVE to choose me.
There are MANY great photographers right here in Gillette.

But she trusted me, invested in me, and was hopeful.

I do not take that choice lightly.

I don’t HAVE to do my job, I GET to do my job.

To capture human connection, their life experiences, and turning it into art.

There’s no other job I would rather do.

Thank you, Sarah, for trusting me. For being vulnerable and brave, even after heartbreaking loss.

For visually expressing hope, anticipation, joy, perseverance, bravery, unconditional love, and new beginnings.

Thank you for the reminder of why I do what I do.

My favorite part of family sessions is the segment of time given to individual fine art portraits of your children.

It allows adolescents a time to remove a mask and show a piece of themselves in a creative way.

Not them with the whole family. Not the siblings. Just them—alone, showing who they are.

It’s different than the other poses.

They aren’t holding the role as “daughter, sister, or family member,” they are just themselves—and it’s an important exercise in holding confidence in who they are and who they are becoming.

When I show parents the back of my camera while shooting, most are shocked.

Did my kid just pose like that?

Where did that fire in their eyes come from?

WHOA.

You look……amazing.

Our youth are full of a spark to be seen, heard, loved, and to take flight into their ambitions and passions.

Whenever I am photographing these moments, I am just filled with joy inside—because almost every single time their eyes say:

“This is me.

I’m not hiding.

I’m not pretending.

I might be young, but I’m smart and real.

This is who I am.

Do you see me?

I might be unsure, but I have the confidence to try.

Just watch me flourish.”

And that’s what it’s all about.
Capturing the real you.
Sharing your story—no one else can share it but you.

They aren’t just photos.

They are glimpses into the heart of each person, frozen in time to look back on and remember.

So that you will look at them and think to yourself:

“This was my kid. I’m so proud.

This is my family. I am so blessed.

Look how far we have come.

I can’t wait to see where we are going.”

These are the days. 🤍

The days that feel long sometimes, but somehow pass by in the blink of an eye. The messy, beautiful, ordinary moments that one day you’ll realize were actually the good old days.

Your beautiful, unique, and amazing family. ♥️

The way your kids reach for your hand without thinking.

The missing teeth, the little giggles, the way they still lean into you when they’re tired.

The personalities blossoming, the growth happening right in front of your eyes.

Watching them take on new challenges, make friends or teammates, learn with excitement, and grow with passion for the new experiences they are living each day.

Life moves so incredibly fast.

Seasons change, kids grow, and before you know it, summer has turned into another year of memories you wish you could bottle up forever.

You owe it to yourself to pause for just a moment and preserve this chapter.

Pick a date.
Mark the calendar.
Prioritize the photos.

Your future self will thank you for choosing to remember what life looked and felt like right now.

Because one day, these images won’t just be photos — they’ll be proof of how beautiful life was, how deeply you loved your family, and how lucky you were to watch your children grow.

Summer family sessions are booking now! I know I keep saying this, but I MAYBE have 1-2 spots for June and 2-3 for July and August.
