The unofficial kickoff to summer ☀️

Can I be honest for a second? Let you in on a little secret? I had to sit with these images for about a week and a half before I knew how I felt about them.

This session was so fun to shoot, but it was also different. and I collaborated on this creative shoot and we took some risks. That was the whole point. But when I first saw my scans I wasn’t sure if the risks had paid off.

I stopped following any of the photographers whose work made me question the value of my own (inspiration only over here, baby!), but I still have that little voice in my mind saying “this might not be what the people want”.

But now, looking at my own unique perspective of the Walt family after a little bit of time and distance, I just see beauty.

Honestly doing anything is more fun with a friend and I’m so excited that and I have a few more of these creative sessions of our sleeves for 2026. I’m really excited to see the direction it takes us and the work we create even if at first it feels a little uncomfortable.

(And for the record, as I touched up these images this week, I felt emotional, moved to that lump-in-my-throat, these photos will live forever, kind of feeling. It is good work and I’m thankful to do it.)

This spring has been having a good laugh at my attempts to schedule my sessions. Rain at some point most days. But when the sun shows up it’s always worth the wait ☀️

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas out there. Thank you for the way you care and sacrifice. It’s an honor to document this one-of-a-kind love. 💕

To everyone who feels heavy today, I see you. I’ve been you. Thank you for all the ways you mother the people around you even if it isn’t what you expected or hoped. We are blessed to have you in our corners.

I’m a big journal-keeper and list-maker and noticing is really important to me. I remember once-upon-a-time hearing a photographer say that photography was using your camera to say, “this moment gets to stay, and this one, and this one”.

So I think simple sessions at home give us the best chance to notice those little moments and keep a few that are so fleeting otherwise.

In this session I wanted to keep-

•chickens and babies playing side by side in the dirt
•the team effort it takes to gather the eggs
•the exact way this baby looked in this belly
•looks of adoration from one little boy to his mama
•curly heads and pudgy hands
•a morning with the whole crew at home together before life scatters them

It’s all worth keeping and it’s an honor to help all of my clients do that. Let’s slow down for a few hours and just notice together. ✨

Did you know I have collections to cover the entire first year of baby’s life? There is so much to document but time passes so quickly and we’re a little preoccupied figuring out how then heck to raise these little people. Sometimes it’s nice to have at least one thing figured out ahead of time.

These babies really don’t keep. It’s been an entire year of Samuel! Happy birthday, sweet boy! 🎉🎈

I loved documenting that sweet brand-new-family-of-five chaos a few weeks ago for this beautiful crew.

If Instagram would let me post a horizontal shot first you wouldn’t have to wait for more sneak peeks 😉 This shot was just too dang fun not to get a permanent spot on the feed.

We photographed weddings for so long that the majority of my family clients are a significant drive away. So getting to photograph one of my neighbors in the town we both love was a really sweet gift!

Nudge, nudge Waynesboro friends 😉

This newborn session is such a sweet example of why at home sessions are so dang special!

It snowed this week.

After eighty degree days it was pretty jarring to see big fluffy white flakes falling from the sky. So in my efforts to continue moving forward and to manifest springtime I’m doing a MODEL CALL!

One of my goals this year is to do four creative photo projects to keep myself excited about this incredibly special work I get to do.

SO if you are interested in working together on one of these projects would you let me know? Comment below and I’ll send over a quick little questionnaire for you to tell me more about you and your people.

It would be convenient for you to live within driving distance, but honestly I’d love to hear from you either way. My only real parameters are that you have kids and that you and your partner are down for anything we might come up with.

LET’S GO!!!

I’ve been really into poetry lately.

Poets like Mary Oliver and Wendell Berry writing beautiful words of course, but also the poetry of the first lime green leaves on my rose bushes, the first sunshine yellow daffodils poking out of the earth. Light streaming through the kitchen window, hitting me square in the face. The neighbor’s “party lights” on, beckoning visitors over. The perfect lyrics hitting at the perfect moment. The poetry of my life as I find my way, learn myself, figure out my artistry.

And there is so much poetry in humanity.

I love seeing the poetry of a mama loving her babies, a little boy making his sister giggle, dad lifting his littles onto his shoulders for a fresh look at the world. There is something really special about watching families interact and play.

I can’t wait to see what kind of poetry I get to document this year. 🌷
