A little update on everything that’s been going on.

First and foremost, thank you all so much for checking in, reaching out, and sending your well wishes. It has truly meant more than you know.

I had a tumor removed from my o***y, and I’m incredibly grateful to say that everything came back benign—which is the best news I could have hoped for.

Healing has been a little slower than I’d like to admit, but overall, I’m doing well and slowly getting back to normal. I’m officially starting to take on new sessions again! I’ll be easing my way back into the studio, but with fall weather right around the corner, I’m honestly so excited to get outside and start creating again.

Thank you again for all the love, messages, and check-ins. I appreciate you guys more than you know.

Love you all! 🤍

I debated posting this, but if it helps even one person listen to their body, I think it’s worth sharing. Especially considering I learned the hard way.

First, thank you for all the messages, love, and well wishes. I’m recovering and taking things one day at a time.

And especially to my fellow women: you know your body. If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it—and don’t try to convince yourself that you’re crazy, being dramatic, or overreacting. Trust yourself and get checked out.

The Christmas backdrop is HERE!

I’m showing you this year’s Christmas setup and talking through some of my favorite outfit colors to pair with it—because figuring out what the heck everyone should wear is half the battle. 😂

Think warm neutrals, rich holiday tones, cozy textures, and colors that complement the set.

Christmas Minis are officially booking, and Early Bird spots are still available! Use code EARLYBIRD50 to save $50 while codes last.

Now tell me… what do we think of this year’s setup?!

That little judgy squint 😂
Like excuse me, who approved this photoshoot?

But the real question: color or black & white?

I interrupt your regularly scheduled scrolling to bring you… newborn !

Tiny squeaks. Sleepy grunts. Little baby sighs. And the occasional noise that makes you wonder how something so tiny sounds like a 75-year-old man getting out of a recliner. 🤣

Volume up!
You’re welcome for the serotonin boost.

This little slugger stepped up to the plate for his first birthday and absolutely knocked his cake smash out of the park.

Safe to say, the cake didn’t stand a chance. 😂

10/10 squish. 10/10 rolls. 11/10 scowl.😍

The cutest little firecracker you’ll ever meet.

She made quite the entrance on Independence Day, and I couldn’t be more obsessed with her sweet newborn session.
