Before we officially say goodbye to summer… let’s bottle a little bit of it up. 🌿🌻☀️

I’m opening a handful of LAST-MINUTE SUMMER MINI SESSIONS over the next two weeks!

🌿 Ivy River Greenhouse — lush, green, barefoot, playful summer goodness

These are perfect for families, couples, motherhood, kiddos… or anyone who wants to soak up the last little bit of summer before fall takes over. And please — come ready to PLAY. These do not have to be perfectly posed. Give me bare feet, water hoses, snuggles, running kids and all the real-life goodness. 🤍

Sweet Daisy, you are so, so loved. 🤍

I know there were endless nights spent praying for you, and now you’re finally here, absolutely perfect.

Knowing Krystal and Justin and the journey that brought them to this moment makes seeing them with their sweet girl even more special. There truly couldn’t be two people more deserving of this beautiful blessing. They are already incredible parents, and I don’t think I could ever fully put into words just how happy I am for their entire family.

Welcome to the world, Daisy girl. You were prayed for, dreamed of, and loved long before you ever arrived. 🌼🤍

The sweetest morning with the beautiful Garrett family. 🤍

Baby Levi was the cutest little sleeping bundle, while big sister completely stole my heart reading him stories and serenading him with her very best Moana songs. 🥹🎶

Just a studio full of snuggles, tiny toes, and SO much sweetness. Welcome to the world, Levi! 🤍

Meet sweet baby Heidi. 💛🌼

And OH. MY. GOODNESS. This little girl is GORGEOUS. The sweetest little features, the most precious expressions, and can we please talk about how absolutely unreal she looked in butter yellow?! 😭💛 That color was MADE for her.

And big brother? He adores his little sister. 🥹 He was so gentle and proud of his baby sister, and watching the two of them together was the sweetest thing.

Welcome to the world, beautiful Heidi. You are already so, so loved. 🤍

There’s something so special about watching a family grow. 🤍

This sweet crew is officially a family of four, and big sister is already completely smitten with baby Reese. The way she snuggled her, loved on her, and so proudly showed off her new baby sister absolutely melted me.

Two beautiful little girls, two very lucky parents, and the sweetest new chapter beginning. Welcome to the world, Reese.

Kacey and Chase are the sweetest couple, and their engagement session was truly a reflection of who they are and the life they’re building together. They chose to have their photos taken on the beautiful property where they’re building their forever home—a place that already holds so much meaning for them.

Of course, we had to include their sweet lab, too! Between the breathtaking property, their pup, and the love they share, these photos beautifully tell their story and capture this special season of their lives. 💍🏠🤍🐾🌻

Some sessions just leave your heart a little fuller.

This beautiful family of four absolutely lit up my camera with love. The way they already adore their newest little addition was so sweet to witness, and can we PLEASE talk about big sister?! 🥹
I genuinely don’t think I have ever photographed a better-behaved, more loving big sister. She was gentle, patient, proud, and completely smitten with her new baby. Watching her love on that tiny little bundle was enough to melt me.

These are the sessions that remind me why I love what I do so much. The tiny details, the newness, the snuggles, and a family settling into this brand-new chapter together.
