You know that moment when you run into someone that you haven't seen in a while and they ask "how's your summer been?" Expecting to hear all about sunshine and fun, but your answer is far from it. You just smile and say "great and yours?" but really you want to scream because you've had a major 2 steps forward 4 steps back kind of year. I don't get personal on here too often and I won't go into detail because some of it isn't my story to tell, but 2026 has been tough on us.

A couple days ago I realized I posted twice in June and twice so far in July, so need to let everyone know that I haven't gone anywhere. Our family has just experienced some major struggles along with everyday parenting, work and running a business. We're still finding happiness in the things we love like neighborhood fun & sports with the kids, volleyball & golf for Brad & I, and quality time with each other. Social media is just the last thing on my list of what I need to pour my energy into.

My hope is that over the next week or two, I can plan some fun for the end of summer, fall and holiday photos. It truly brings me so much happiness to create for you all. I'm really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and connecting more!

Sweet simple details are always my favorite part of posed newborn photos. The best way to remember their tiny features that change so quickly.

Stepping away from the computer for a few hours to tackle some things around our crazy house before heading into the studio for Mother's Day Minis this evening.

Home is where your story is after all...

While I absolutely ADORE all of my time in the studio, at home family sessions feel so special to me. A true glimpse into real life and special moments with the ones you love most.

Hey friends! I'm so excited to loop you in on something big happening both personally and professionally in my life. Starting in just about a week, you'll find me working for two amazing entrepreneurs Weds-Friday at the new .station cafe!

When and shared that they were hiring for Graze Station and what the hours would be, I thought it was too good to be true weekdays... during school hours... it couldn't be! After meeting with them over LOTS of coffee, seeing their vision, and plans for the future, I was so excited to be offered a management position.

It's crazy that after years of being a self-employed mom, home with kids, working crazy hours to accommodate our family I'm able to step back into a role for another company. This time it's different though. I'm joining two women who are also navigating owning a business while keeping up with their busy families.

What does this mean for photography? Not much is changing! Scheduling will remain the same and booking early will always be your best bet.

Can't wait to share more and keep you updated!

UPDATE: Yes, Dad can join us for the Mother's Day Mini Sessions. After a few requests, I've updated booking so that you can choose to make this a full family mini.

There will absolutely still be a focus on Mom + Kids, but we'll have more than enough time to make sure you get a few photos with everyone as well.

ALSO - coming back from a social media break is hard. I'd be SO grateful to everyone who shares this post, tags their mama friends, or sends it as a hint for your Mother's Day Gift😉
