If I’m not behind this camera you’ll find me at Disney. Or on my couch with a good book. Or at Disney.

But most days the plan is making mamas feel like the absolute goddess she is.

Expecting this summer and need something better than water to sip on while you grow that human? Comment MOCKTAIL and I’ll send you my free summer guide.

Every other photographer will tell you family photo day will be stress free and magical from start to finish.

I am not going to lie to you like that.

It will be stressful. Mom will spend three weeks stress shopping for the perfect outfits for everyone in the family. Your husband will respectfully hate it. Someone will cry about their clothes.

What I am is a professional chaos coordinator who strives to make this process suck a little less.

My biggest compliment is ‘wow that was actually fun.’

Even more so when it comes from dad.

Link in bio to book your session. Come ready for chaos. I’ll handle the rest.

If you are pregnant in Wilmington this summer this is for you.

I put together a free guide of five summer mocktails plus my personal list of favorite local spots where someone else will make you something pretty and pregnancy safe.

These are not the obvious picks. These are the places I actually go.

Comment MOCKTAIL and I will send it straight to your DMs. 🤍

I have been photographing on the Carolina coast for almost ten years and I need you to hear me when I say this.

Book the beach session.

I don’t know why this is still a debate. Dolphins show up. The light does things. The water does things.

Every single session out here looks like it belongs in a magazine and none of it is accidental.

This is what I do. This is where I do it. Unapologetically team beach.

P.S. Pregnant this summer and surviving on plain water? Comment MOCKTAIL and I will send you something better.

Please tell me I am not the only one who spent an entire decade bored of my hydration options.

Five pregnancies. A whole lot of water. And zero fun drinks.

I finally did something about it. Comment MOCKTAIL and I will send my five favorite summer mocktail recipes straight to your DMs. Plus a bonus list of my favorite Wilmington spots where someone else will make one for you. 🤍

You deserve a fun drink this summer mama.

My youngest turned into Goldilocks except instead of three bears it was twelve marshmallows.

Too burnt.
Too sticky.
Too hot.
Not golden enough.

Each one carefully inspected and rejected.

She ate a plain raw marshmallow straight from the bag.

Twelve marshmallows cooked for nothing. And yet somehow it was the best family night we have had all summer.

Highly recommend. Your hair won’t even smell like campfire in the morning. Win win.

Save this for your next family night and tag someone who needs a little fire pit moment.

You have spent hours reading reviews on car seats, crib mattresses, baby monitors, the perfect swaddle.

You want the best of everything for this baby and you should.

But don’t forget about preserving these memories with an experienced photographer who is going to handle the most precious thing you have ever created.

That is where I come in.

Because fifteen years from now you will not remember which car seat you chose.

But MY ALBUM will still be on your shelf.

All those other things will be at Goodwill.

Share with a mama who is in their baby registry era!

Because before that my routine was:

Step 1: Initial wash. Just to be optimistic.

Step 2: Dawn dish soap and a toothbrush like I’m performing surgery.

Step 3: Fels Naptha bar soap. Yes that’s a real thing. A nun told me about it. She used it on habits. I use it on baseball pants. We are the same.

And now every time my son steps up to bat instead of thinking hit it hard I’m standing there thinking please do not slide.

Please do not slide.
Please do not slide.
He slid.

White baseball pants should be a crime and the person who made them the official uniform of youth sports owes every mom an apology and a bar of Fels Naptha.

Drop your white baseball pant survival tips below because I know I’m not alone in this.
