Then, Grace trusted me with something a little more raw and intimate..

Just the two of us. Dirt under her hands, baby’s breath tangled around her, bare skin, no makeup, no pretending. Just a woman in full bloom growing life.

These images feel so powerful to me because this is the side of motherhood I never want women to hide from. The changing body. The softness. The strength. The messy, earthy, emotional in-between that comes before everything changes forever.

There was something so beautiful about stripping everything back. No distractions. No perfect styling. Just Grace exactly as she is in this season of life. Natural, radiant, vulnerable, and strong.

Raw beauty in its purest form.

Motherhood changes you. Not just physically, but deep down to your core. And somehow women still continue to bloom through all of it. 🤍

Less than a year ago, I met Grace… and somehow it feels like she’s been part of my life forever. 🤍

When I tell you we clicked instantly, I mean INSTANTLY. Between our feral little toddlers running wild and us laughing until we cried, we’ve basically been attached at the hip ever since. She truly became the big sister I never knew I needed. 🥹

This motherhood series has been so incredibly special to me because it’s more than just photos. It’s documenting love, growth, family, friendship, and this beautiful new chapter for all of us.

We started with maternity photos at their house, just running around outside, laughing the entire time while Grace casually looked like she walked straight out of a magazine. Someone get this girl a modeling contract ASAP because WHAT 🤣

Of course we included Bryce for a few photos too… I guess dads deserve pictures sometimes. 😂 And sweet Stetson loving on his baby brother before he was even here absolutely melted me.

Stay tuned for part 2 ❤️

And then… the moments after.
The ones that feel a little quieter,
but somehow just as big.
Meeting you for the first time.
Tiny hands, curious eyes…
and a big sister trying to figure it all out.
The way everyone softens.
The way love just… multiplies.
It’s a different kind of magic.
Less rush, more feeling. ❤️

There’s something about a birth room you can’t really explain.
It’s quiet and loud all at once.
Everything moving slow… until it’s not.
The deep breaths.
The in-between moments..
The way the whole room just holds itself.
And then… you were here.
The shift is instant.
Nothing else matters after that.
Getting to witness something like this...
to stand just outside of it, but feel all of it,
will never feel normal to me.
(and honestly… I hope it never does 🤍)

I have more to share from this amazing day! Stay tuned for part 3 😍

Last year, Neko trusted me with a secret that turned into the most beautiful surprise pregnancy announcement during family photos… and now here we are 🥲

We reunited around Christmas time for an in-home maternity session, which made it even more meaningful for me. This isn’t just any house. It’s one I’ve laughed in, had sleepovers in, and made memories in. Getting to capture their growing family in a space that already holds so much love? Full circle doesn’t even cover it 🤍

And just wait… because this is only part one!!!

Their birth session is coming next, and when I tell you this mama is an absolute force! Baby Logan made his entrance in under 10 minutes (!!) Talk about SUPERWOMAN energy 🔥

Birth photography has been pulling at my heart in a way I didn’t expect. There’s something so raw and powerful about being fully present in those moments, capturing memories that moms sometimes don’t even get to experience themselves. I remember during my own birth, everything felt a little distant, like I was moving through it without fully holding onto each moment… and it made me realize just how much your mind and body are carrying all at once in those hours.

I’m so, so proud of these sessions… and I think I might’ve found my thing 🥹✨
Stay tuned for part two 🫶

More from Jamie + Brent's beautiful wedding day!

Who doesn't love cake?!

03/21/2026

It’s always the little details that make a day feel like them 🤍
From the soft winter florals to the thoughtful touches throughout the day, Brent + Jamie created such a warm and intentional atmosphere for everyone there!

I love slowing down and capturing these pieces, the ones that might seem small, but hold so much meaning when you look back on your day ✨

Coming out of hibernation a little late with this one 🤍❄️

Back in December, I had the absolute joy of capturing Brent + Jamie’s wedding day, and it truly felt like stepping into a little winter wonderland. From the soft Christmas touches to the warm, love-filled room… everything about their day was so special.

Their family and friends were some of the kindest people, the kind that make you feel right at home the second you walk in. We laughed, we danced, we ate some amazing food and celebrated a love that was so easy to feel in every moment!!

More from this beautiful winter wedding coming soon ✨
