“Mother’s and their children are in a category all their own. There’s no bond so strong in the entire world. No love so instantaneous and forgiving.”

Motherhood. Every season, in all of it’s beautifully exhausting glory, it’s my favorite thing to document. It’s a different love story folks, and one that fills my heart and soul to the brim- and then some! I just want mama’s to see that you’ll never regret the photos-not even the mess we may make. This session was a dream, a powder-sugary dream come true, with the most beautiful pastry chef mama + her beautiful baby boy in their sweet, sweet home. Scroll through to see all the sweet messy moments, that led us to playing in the tub!

“Someday, when the pages of my story end, I know that they will have been my most beautiful chapters.”

If I could say one thing to all the mama’s, even the dad’s-it would be to have photos of just you alone with your babies-any + every chance you get. When I get to work with Mama’s + their babes, just them, it’s such a beautiful experience. Whether we are running through a field, dancing in a vintage trailer, snuggling on the floor, it’s all so beautiful and when you get that chance to freeze this time- you won’t regret it. This mama was a dream come true, her baby dolls (literally, look at them) had me swooning left and right. It’s such a beautiful and unparalleled bond between a mama and her babies. I will be holding another day of vintage trailer sessions! Be on the look out for these + message me to get on the list beforehand❤️

“Nothing can resist her magnetizing nature. The feminine energy doesn’t need to get out to the world to get it. It comes her way. The feminine strength comes from her soul.”

Magnetizing seemed perfect to describe this mama + her glowing energy. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a thousand times over-maternity sessions quickly are becoming some of my absolute favorites. They already held a special place in my heart, but it’s a season of life that I can’t get enough of, I feel so beyond honored to get to document this chapter for so many mamas! Whether we are out in the mountains, on the coast, in studio, or within the walls of your sweet home-don’t hesitate to document this time in your lives, it deserves to be cherished.

“Just let go of your head and heavy thoughts, show me your heart and run wild with me.”

The Oregon coast, oh man she constantly amazes me each time I visit her (damn right I said HER). I love when my couples and families want to adventure down to the coast, regardless of the weather or time of year! Fog, cold, sun, warmth, rain or wind, each session I get to capture and be a part of is so unique-I can’t get enough. This couple was ready to endure some true PNW weather, and I am so happy because it will forever be a favorite session of mine! Don’t let the idea of not having a golden sunset stop you from adventuring on the coast with me, it’s a whole different type of beauty.

“Close your eyes and picture the sun, that’s what it felt like to love her; warmth.”

Golden, sun-kissed (yet coldddd) sunrise shoots are some kind of magic for sure! I’ll give up sleep any day to dance around with you and your loves as the sun wakes up for us! Kelsey + Alexander were some kind of beautiful magic all on their own. From laughing so hard we truly couldn’t feel our cold faces, to dancing until we were dizzy. I adore them, good lord do I adore them + their golden energy.

“She has a beauty that eyes can’t deny, but her soul has beauty hearts can’t help but feel.”

Been so long since I’ve shared here! So much joy + beauty I’ve got to be a part of and document, so much coming your way! For starters, maternity-oh my damn hearrrrt, my love for documenting this season of life for expectant mama’s, is growing so fast I just can’t get enough of it. I love creating, I love telling stories through my photos, telling your love stories. And pregnancy, THAT is one love story I will always cherish being a part of. Jensen, you always take my breath away, seeing you become a mama, ugh so much joy seeing that! So happy to capture these moments for you.

“He is so beautiful, but I love in energy...so let me tell you of just how beautiful he feels.”

Talk about a beautiful connection. To the point I was feeling weak at the knees! Pretty damn amazing if you ask me. I had so much fun with these two, tons of laughing, but also such intentional + intimate moments too. They gave me freedom to capture their love, to create-it meant so much. That willingness and trust and excitement to create together! Such a beautiful ease between them, made me speeeeed home to work on these. So I hope you feel that beautifully contagious warmth they we’re radiating when you look through these...

“Motherhood is the exquisite inconvenience of being another person’s everything...and it truly is exquisite.”

Newborn family photos nestled up in their family beach house, with so much history and character, it was an absolute dream! This mama + her family are the actual definition of dreamy, they continue to gift me with capturing these beautiful chapters in their family’s life and I don’t think I could ever express how special that is to me! I hope these photos portray just how beautiful this time is in a family’s life, bringing home a new babe is one sweet adventure. I’m so thankful to be a small part of their memories, and so thankful to be able to give them these moments to look back on, especially in a place that is so special to their family.

“I had no idea it would be this much. I had no idea I could handle it. I had no idea how beautiful it all actually is.”

Lynds+ Chris , you two gave me something special, you gave me the chance to be a part of this sweet chapter in your lives. You also have one incredible angel babe of a sister Stephanie Robitaille for thinking of how special this time is for you both and that you deserved to have it documented. This session was everything, this mama was beautifully HER, in her Carhartt bibs, barefoot in the dirt, laughing and loving with her best friend who should be in GQ. They were just so easily drawn to each other it made me weak at the knees.
Maternity sessions don’t need to be any certain way, this is your chapter and celebrating your love + what a gift it’s given you...make it yours and let me help capture it.

“I swear the entire universe dances inside those sweet little eyes of hers. My best feeling is watching the part of me that she carries inside of her, dance so freely.”

It’s pretty magical, the bond a mother has with her daughter(s). I can vouch for that! And the amazing moments between these beauties was even more proof of this magic.
I think because I understand this type of connection, when I get to capture other beautiful mama’s with their babes, sons + daughters, regardless, it’s absolute magic. And true it may not feel that way during your session at times, (sweating, worried about this + that on our faces and bodies -I’m guilty of thissss) but trust me🙏🏼These moments are fleeting and getting the chance to preserve them for you...it’s as much of a gift to me as it is to you beautiful ladies. So Mama’s, don’t hesitate...just do them. Trust me.

“My soul thinks your soul is just pure magic.”

This quote couldn’t be more perfect for these two. Seriously...their love + connection was something golden and fiercely beautiful. Seemed fitting that their entire session was just that, a perfect representation of how I saw them, golden + beautiful.
October has me feeling just like that first shot, it’s been giving us some beautiful weather, and taking full advantage of it has been an absolute must. But, rain or shine, your beautiful story deserves to be captured, sweet, fun and intimate moments, they all deserve to be captured and preserved for you to relive, over and over💛

“You touched the place in my heart where love runs wild...”

An absolute life changing adventure. That’s what this incredible trip to Montana was for me. Morgan + Tyler, wow. Let me tell you, this beautiful duo overfilled my heart with their love, laughter, friendship and an adventure I will never forget.
Their elopement, I mean I don’t think I can muster up words worthy enough to express how amazing it was. I mean...it’s not every day a majestic mountain goat photobombs your Bridals. I’ve declared Montana as my other home (don’t worry Oregon, you’re still #1 in my book), and I just feel like crying (again lol) knowing folks want me + my heart to capture these special chapters in their lives. I have been so MIA on Facebook (follow me on IG, that’s where mama stays more update, ) but I have so many beautiful folks + their beautiful stories to share. For starters, here’s some snaps of one incredible elopement in Glacier National Park in my home away from home, Montana.
