A quiet Sunday last week - no rush, no plans, just wandering with my camera.

I know these days won't always feel this full. One day the house will be a little quieter, a little emptier . . . but for now, I'm holding onto it all.

Even the most ordinary days are worth remembering.

If this hits home, message me to talk about your next session 🤍

Summer sessions around the corner ☀️
Sandy beach or sunset fields?

Beach sessions feel like peak summer - fun and carefree.
Field sessions seem softer - quiet and grounded.

Both tell such different stories - which one can you see yourself in?

Just my girl, exactly how she is 🫶💛

Okayyyy, all you mommas listen up! This post is for you 🩷
I'm so excited to offer something fresh and meaningful this year - sessions designed to celebrate YOU all while being wrapped in the warmth & coziness of a beautiful greenhouse 🪴
This is your time, and I want you to walk away with the images you truly want.
While these are Mother's Day minis, they're created to fit your vision - whether you're dreaming of a quiet mommy & me moment, updated photos with your whole family, grandmas with their babies or simply celebrating motherhood in your own way.
Expecting? This is for you too. You're already a mom 🤍
These sessions will be very limited - just 2 evenings with 3 sessions each. Once all 6 spots are filled, that's it.
Let’s snuggle those babies, share a moment with your pr***en, or get a classic photo with your grown children surrounded by beautiful greenhouse scenery - it’s all for you.
If you want to bring the motherhood vibes, comment below or message me to claim your spot. I can NOT wait for these sessions ✨

Photo printing results! ✨

It’s a long post but worth the read if you’re someone who likes to print your images 💕

For this experiment, I printed the same three images with three different companies:
• a black & white portrait
• a bright, colorful “painting session” shot
• a warm fall session image

⸻

Walgreens
The biggest pro here is convenience — same-day printing and pickup is hard to beat. But as expected, that convenience comes at the cost of quality.

Overall, the images printed noticeably darker, especially in the shadows, which caused a loss of detail. The black & white image was the weakest of the three — and also had a slight green tint, which affected the overall image.

The painting session image actually held up better than I expected and came closer to Mpix, but it still didn’t quite match the overall quality.

⸻

Shutterfly
This one surprised me the most.

Shutterfly was the only company that noticeably shifted color tones. Whites turned slightly off-white, and the overall image leaned warmer/orange. While the print quality itself was a step up from Walgreens, the color inaccuracy is something to keep in mind.

That said — their black & white print showed more facial detail than Mpix, especially around the eyes.

However, when looking at larger open areas (like backgrounds), I noticed visible horizontal print lines (pic below to show). Compared side-by-side, Mpix prints were completely smooth, which gives a much cleaner, more professional finish.

⸻

Mpix
This was my favorite overall.

Colors are closest to the true colors of the original image, the quality was consistent, and everything felt clean and professional. This is the closest match to what I deliver digitally — which is huge.

The only slight downside was the black & white image where Shutterfly showed a more facial detail. However, Mpix still wins in overall print smoothness and consistency.

⸻

Final Thoughts
This was such a fun experiment!

If I’m ordering prints, I’m choosing Mpix every time for color images.
For black & whites specifically, Shutterfly might have a slight edge in subject detail… but it’s a trade-off with overall print quality.

I'm suuuuper excited to get out there with my camera this year. Some people get excited for new clothes . . . I get excited if I find brush or flowers with beautiful lighting because I know it would make for amazing photos … and I’m 1000% okay with that 🤣

I’ll choose 3 winners on Friday (3/20) so keep an eye out!

I’m running a little experiment! 🔬

I ordered the same 3 files through 3 popular photo printing companies:
• Walgreens
• Shutterfly
• Mpix

No extra editing. No lab “touch ups.” Just the exact same file — submitted the same way you would download your gallery to your phone and upload it to a website.

Why? Because the way a photo is printed can completely change how it feels.

Skin tones can shift. Shadows can lose detail. Colors can look dull or overly saturated. What looks gorgeous on your screen doesn’t always translate the same way in print.

So now I’m curious —

Who thinks they’ll all look nearly identical?
And who thinks one company will clearly outshine the others?

Honestly, even I don’t know how this will turn out since I’ve never done this with my own images before 🤣

Results coming in a couple weeks… stay tuned.

🌼 Okayyyyy, it’s officially March. April is around the corner along with flower and tree buds that get everyone so excited for warmer months! 🌱

It’s time to start thinking about freezing some of those warm weather memories! Babies turn into toddlers, seniors graduate, couples celebrate new chapters and families grow. And it all goes by entirely way too fast!

Take a look at my website (link in comments👇🏼) and start dreaming about your session this year ☀️

Last but not least: keep an eye on my page as I’ll be coming out with a little spring forward promo sometime soon! 👀

When the kids have a sleepover and bake their own cookies from scratch - I turn it into a mini lifestyle session 📷 The ordinary moments are the ones they’ll remember … and I’ll make sure to document it for them ❤️
