Have a little one turning 1 soon? With my First Year Cake Smash Sessions the planning is already done for you. 🤍

I provide the props, the setup, and even the cake — the cost of the cake is included in your session fee. That means all you have to do is show up with your little one and enjoy the experience.

To make things even easier, you'll receive a style guide to help coordinate outfits, along with session tips designed to help your child feel comfortable, happy, and ready for photos.

As a mom myself, I know how much mental energy goes into planning every little detail. My goal is to create a stress-free experience so you can focus on celebrating this incredible milestone while I take care of the rest.

Before you know it, your baby will be turning one. Let's document this sweet season in a way that's beautiful, joyful, and easy for your family. ✨

Ready to start planning your little one's first birthday session? Send me a message and I'd love to chat!

One thing I will always respect as a photographer and a mother myself is a parent’s decision about their children’s privacy online 🤍

Not every family wants their children’s faces shared on social media or displayed on websites — and that is completely okay with me.

These images belong to your family first.

While I’m always honored when clients allow me to share their beautiful moments, I never expect it. Some families choose full sharing, some prefer limited sharing, and some prefer complete privacy. Every choice is respected here without pressure or judgment.

Because truthfully, these photographs were never meant to simply become content for clicks, likes, or social media engagement.

They are meant to become artwork in your home.
Memories your children will look back on one day.
A reminder of the way this season felt.
The tiny details you never want to forget.

My goal has always been to create meaningful images for your family to treasure for generations — whether they are shared online or kept only within the walls of your home.

At the end of the day, your trust means far more to me than content ever could 🤍

Planning a summer photo session in North Carolina but unsure what to wear?

I just shared a new blog post filled with simple styling tips to help your family look coordinated, timeless, and comfortable during these warm summer months!

Choosing the right outfits can make such a difference in the overall feel of your images.

In the blog, I talk about the best colors for outdoor summer sessions, what patterns to avoid, and how to coordinate outfits without looking overly matched. Soft neutrals, light textures, and comfortable clothing photograph beautifully and help create the light and airy look my clients love.

Whether you’re planning a family session, milestone photos, or summer picnic minis, this guide is designed to make preparing for your session feel stress-free and easy. My goal is always to help families feel confident, comfortable, and fully present so we can focus on capturing genuine moments together.

Read the full blog post for all my favorite summer styling tips!

One of the things I love most about summer is that it slows us down… at least a little.

The bedtimes get later.
The kids run barefoot.
Dinner somehow turns into popsicles on the porch.
And the ordinary moments start feeling like the ones you’ll miss someday.

That’s really the heart behind these Summer Picnic Sessions.

Not “perfect” photos.
Not stressful matching outfits.
Not forcing toddlers to smile at the camera

Just space to cuddle your babies, laugh together, and soak up this season exactly as it is right now.

I’ll have a simple picnic-inspired setup with soft neutral textures, florals, and cozy summer styling that photographs beautifully without taking away from what matters most: your family.

Summer Picnic Sessions will run June through August, and I cannot wait to photograph these sweet little moments for you ☀️spots are limited!

The newborn stage feels endless when you’re in it… until suddenly it isn’t.

The tiny stretches.
The sleepy snuggles.
The gummy smiles.
The sitting phase.
The first birthday.

It all changes so quietly and so quickly.

That’s why I love photographing families throughout the entire first year — not just one moment of it.
Your baby’s story deserves to feel complete.

Summer Picnic Sessions are this June, July, and August ☀️🧺

Think:
barefoot kiddos,
soft evening light,
cozy blankets,
sweet little summer moments,
and photos that feel relaxed and real instead of stiff and overly posed.

I wanted to create something simple, beautiful, and connection-focused this summer… and I honestly cannot wait for these.

These sessions are perfect for:
✨ families
✨ babies
✨ maternity
✨ milestone moments
✨ or honestly just documenting this season of life before it changes again (because somehow it always does).

June 27th is the first available date and the booking link is below! For the booking link for the other dates, message me!

One day your baby will look back for photos of you, too.

Not just perfectly posed portraits — but the way you held them close, kissed their cheeks, soothed them to sleep, and loved them through every tiny stage of the first year.

So many moms spend the first year taking photos of their baby while quietly disappearing from the memories themselves.

That’s one of the biggest reasons I created the First Year Collective — to make sure your story is preserved alongside theirs.

Because motherhood deserves to be remembered too.

Social media shows you the highlight reel, but my email list? That's where the real magic happens.

I share the stories behind the sessions, the styling secrets that make photos pop, and those little moments that don't always make it to the grid but are absolutely worth sharing.

Plus, my email subscribers always get:
- First access to booking announcements
- Exclusive styling guides and tips
- Information from local vendors
- Priority scheduling for mini sessions
- And more!

It's like having a photographer friend in your inbox who wants to help you look amazing in photos.
