Three Tree Farm Mini spots are still available! 🌲

Holiday Minis may be short, but that doesn't mean we're spending the whole time trying to get everyone to look at me and smile.

We'll get that photograph, of course. (You've got a Christmas card to make!)

But I'm also watching for your kids' real expressions, the way they interact with each other, and all the little things that make your family feel like yours.

Tree Farm Minis
November 8
Webster, NY
3:15, 3:30 + 3:45 p.m.

If you've been meaning to get your holiday photos on the calendar, these are the last Tree Farm spots available this year. 🤍

You can find all the details + book through the link in my bio.

P.S. Prefer a studio setting? I have one Holiday Studio Mini left, too! You'll find the details + booking link in my bio.

You don't have to show up to your maternity session knowing what to do.

How to stand, where to put your hands, or where to look— none of it is your job.

It's mine!

And don't worry, we won't waste your time with a bunch of stiff poses. We'll walk, snuggle close, and laugh out loud.

I'll give you direction when needed and leave room for the two of you to be you.

The end result? Photographs that feel like you and help you remember what this time in your life actually felt like.

If you're expecting and have been thinking about maternity photos, you can find all the details on my website at the link in my bio.

I've always loved being behind the camera. Growing up, I was always armed with a disposable camera for family vacations. Looking back, it seems pretty fitting that we're here now!

While I love documenting your families, I'm a mom too. And I want beautiful memories of me AND my family, not just beautiful images OF my family.

More importantly, I want our photos to feel like us. I want our personalities in this season to shine through so we never forget what this chapter of life felt like.

And that perspective has shaped the way I photograph your family, too.

I'm always going to get that beautiful photo of everyone together. But I'm also watching for all the little things happening in between.

The laughs. The silliness. The way your kids reach for you. All those little pieces of who they are right now.

Because someday, those might be the things you miss the most.

PSA: You don't need to have your kids practice saying "cheese!" ahead of your family photo session!

Trust me when I say you don't need to stress about how your child is going to behave or whether they'll smile.

Instead, we're going to lean into the chaos.

Let them play. Let them explore. Let them be silly. Let them take a minute if they need one.

I'll guide you when we need a little direction, and yes, we'll still get that photo where everyone is looking at the camera. But the rest?

I'd much rather photograph your kids being your kids.

Your family already has a story worth photographing.

The routines you've learned to navigate with a baby on your hip. The laughter you and your partner share in the middle of everyday life.

It doesn't always have to be perfectly planned or an extraordinary adventure.

Sometimes the best way to tell your family's story is to simply photograph you doing life together.

Want your family's everyday story documented like this? Let's plan something that feels completely like you.

The sprint from the car to the front door.
Ringing the doorbell ten times before walking in.
Playing "restaurant" with a board game none of us actually remembers how to play.
Pouring half the bottle of rainbow sprinkles onto their after-dinner ice cream.

Growing up, her home was my home.
Then it became theirs.

One last visit.
One last ring of the doorbell.

Someday they'll forget the address.

I hope they never forget what it felt like to run up that driveway, ring the bell, and know Grammy was inside, waiting with a hug and a kiss.

Boots and bunnies.

Years from now, they'll be what defines this season.

Not just because they were favorites, but because they were reached for every single day.

Because they were part of the stories your children told long before they had the words to tell them.

This is what I want to remember about this chapter.

What defines the chapter your family is in?

Childhood isn't found in perfect smiles.

It's found in the wandering. The climbing. The tiny hands that have to touch every rock.

This evening wasn't planned. The outfits weren't planned.

Maybe that was the magic all along ✨

The biggest smiles usually happen somewhere between the giggles, the silly faces, and meeting your child where they are.

Because Little Grad sessions are about more than a cap and gown.

They're about celebrating a milestone while remembering who they are right now.

P.S. Happy Last Day of School! ☀️

Loving this year's Little Grad energy!

Big personalities & silly faces.

Because one day when they put on the bigger version of this cap and gown, you'll want to remember this version too. 💙
