✨ Now Booking: The Best Friend Project ✨

Some of the most important people in our lives aren't family by blood.

They're the friends who have stood beside us through every season. The ones who know our stories, celebrate our victories, pick us up when life gets hard, and somehow become family along the way.

Those friendships deserve to be remembered.

I'm looking for a limited number of best friends to be part of **The Best Friend Project**, a portrait series celebrating the people who make life richer simply by being in it.

Whether you've been friends since childhood, met in college, became coworkers turned best friends, or found each other later in life, I'd love to tell your story.

**The Best Friend Project includes:**
✨ 30-minute portrait session
✨ Individual and together portraits
✨ 5 edited digital images
✨ $100 session fee
✨ Model release required so I can share your images as part of this project

If this sounds like something you'd love to do, send me a message! I'd love to hear how you met and why your friendship means so much to you.

Because years from now, these won't just be beautiful portraits. They'll be a reminder of one of the people who helped shape your life.

Stop using a selfie as your brand image. We can all tell you used a selfie and ask chat to put you in a blazer.

Every family session I photograph includes a classic profile portrait of each child.

It might seem like a simple photo today, but give it five... ten... twenty years.

One day you'll line them up side by side and see the tiny nose that changed, the baby cheeks that disappeared, the smile that never did, and the little features that slowly became the face you know today.

Childhood doesn't happen all at once. It changes a little every day, which is exactly why these portraits have become one of my favorite traditions during family sessions.

Years from now, I hope these are the images your children treasure just as much as you do.

Looking for someone to help you manage your social media content?
We plan before we shoot and accomplish a lot in one appointment, then I edit and post FOR you! It can't get any easier! :)

The truth is, people don't just hire businesses.
They hire people they know, like, and trust.

Whether you're a realtor, insurance agent, lender, business owner, or entrepreneur, your audience wants to see the person behind the brand. Professional branding images help you show up consistently, build credibility, and make a memorable first impression long before a phone call ever happens.

This recent branding session was designed to create content that feels polished, approachable, and authentic.
If your current headshot is several years old or your social media still doesn't reflect where your business is today, it may be time for a refresh.

Let's create images that work as hard as you do.

There’s just something so comforting about being around people who make you feel seen, heard, and safe. Carol is one of those people. She offers Christian-based therapy through Purpose Church, and after spending time with her, it’s easy to understand why so many people are drawn to her gentle spirit and wisdom. Sometimes God places people in our lives who help carry us through hard seasons, and I truly believe Carol is that kind of person for so many.

I don't know any photographers that accept payment in arms or legs.

"doesn't break the bank" or "Not outrageously priced".

These sayings are ridiculous. There are photographers all across the world in all different price ranges, experience, etc. Some photographers do this as a hobby, some have business expenses, some do this as a second job and some are literally feeding their families with this living... just like you do you do with your paycheck.

Stop using these sayings and say your budget - we deserve every penny we charge- even if your budget doesn't fit.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how many women almost don’t book the session. Not because they don’t want the photos, but because they don’t feel “ready” yet. They want to lose weight first, wait until life calms down, get the house organized, feel more confident, feel less exhausted, feel more like themselves again. And honestly… I understand that feeling more than most. But the older I get, the more I realize that the people who love us most are not waiting for some perfected future version of us. Your children don’t see the flaws you pick apart in the mirror. They see comfort. Home. Safety. Love. They see you. The woman showing up every single day, even while carrying a hundred invisible things nobody else notices. One of my favorite parts of photography is watching women come into my studio nervous and unsure of themselves, then slowly soften throughout the session when they realize they don’t have to earn the right to be photographed. They already deserve to be seen exactly as they are, right now, in this season.

People hear “mom of five” and usually think I’ve just always naturally loved motherhood. Like I was built for the chaos, the noise, the constant need to be needed. I do love it... more than I could probably ever explain.

What people don’t always see is that motherhood for some women carries both deep joy and deep grief at the same time. Being a mother after miscarriage changes you. It makes you hold your babies a little tighter. It makes ordinary moments feel sacred sometimes. It makes you understand how fragile life really is in a way you can never fully explain to someone who hasn’t lived it.

There’s something strange about experiencing both fullness and loss in the same story. Being overwhelmingly thankful for the children in your home while still grieving the one that never made it there. The hard part is… the world doesn’t always acknowledge that kind of grief. Especially when you already have children. People assume the heartbreak hurts less somehow because you’re already a mom.

Loosing a baby leaves fingerprints on a woman forever. In the way she mothers. In the way she worries. In the way she loves. In the way she notices other women quietly carrying grief too.

So yes… I’m a mom of five. But I’m also a mom who knows what it feels like to lose a baby you already loved before the world ever got the chance to meet them.
