Such a beautiful wedding! I know before the ceremony David was experiencing those pre-wedding jitters, but you couldn’t tell as soon as he saw Samantha! Look how in sync they were, so great! Enjoy the little sneak, I’ll have more soon!

A reminder that not every session needs to happen outdoors. My studio space is perfect for, Milestone sessions, Birthday portraits, Branding updates, Graduation photos & Family updates!

Especially on those hot summer days when nobody wants to sweat through their outfits! Let's schedule a shoot!

One thing I wish every family knew before their session, you don't have to look at the camera the whole time. Some of the most meaningful images happen when you're focused on each other instead of me. Through gentle prompts I have you snuggle your babies, hold their hands, whisper in their ears little silly jokes and just get you to be yourselves. The magic happens there, and I'm HERE for it.

I feel like Summer is on its way, it's been so beautiful out this week!
Which means backyard BBQs, beach days, vacations, wedding season, and somehow the kids growing another foot overnight.

If you've been meaning to update your family photos this year, don't wait until fall! Every year I hear, "I can't believe how much they've changed." Trust me... I get it! Let's get you on the calendar!

One thing I’ve noticed as a photographer…
Moms are almost always the ones taking the photos, organizing the photos, booking the photos & making sure everyone looks nice for the photos....etc.

But somehow THEY end up missing from the memories themselves.
And years from now, your kids are not going to care if you were waiting to lose 15 pounds or wanted your hair done first, they’re going to care that you were THERE.
That they have photos with you in them.

That matters way more. When was the last time you were actually IN the photos?

Love seeing fireworks, in life and between people 🎆 Such a lovely day ✨

Almost every senior says some version of the following: “I’m awkward in photos.”
And then 15 minutes later they’re absolutely crushing their session!
You do NOT need modeling experience to get good photos! (That’s literally my job.)
I’ll guide you the entire time so you’re not standing there wondering what to do.
Also… half the magic is just getting comfortable and having fun!
That’s when people actually start looking like themselves in photos.
