This moment. Quiet, intimate, and unlike any other. ✨ This close-up of a newborn baby's soft head cradled in the moment of breastfeeding is more than an image—it’s a piece of art, a fragment of time that will never return in quite the same way. These moments pass faster than we can hold onto them.

My work isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about giving you more.
It’s about helping you pause in the blur of newborn days, guiding you to slow down, to see yourself differently, and to recognize the beauty woven through it all. Because these fleeting moments deserve to be remembered, not just lived.

✨ Your legacy begins here—let’s preserve it together.

Also, I adore both, color & BW - which one is your favorite?

How do you commemorate milestones in your family? ✨

Do you have traditions that you hold onto year after year? Does it look like gathering everyone for a special meal, writing letters, or maybe a portrait session to mark the season you’re in?

With an important season of my own just around the corner, I’ve been reflecting on the ways we pause to honor where we are. Lately, I’ve been especially drawn to how meaningful it feels to mark new seasons with portraits—something I’ll be doing soon myself next week.

Whether you’re honoring a milestone or simply wanting to freeze the season where you are right now, I’d be honored to help you preserve it in a way that feels meaningful. 💛

In the end, all we have left are the memories we make.

This past week here in California has been heavy and filled with emotions. As someone who holds onto memories and has trouble parting ways with momentos, my heart breaks for all the mothers and families who were forced to say goodbye to all their most precious belongings.

I know so many meaningful keepsakes & photos were lost in these fires. All those shoe boxes that were filled with memories of lost loved ones, all the photos that didn't have a digital back up, all the letters, baby clothes and favorite toys, the list is endless.

Why do we hold onto all these items? We do it to help us remember, to help us reminisce, to remind us how it once felt. These keepsakes are so important because eventually it all fades in our minds as time passes.

This past week was a big reminder for me about the importance of the work I do. In the end, the memories we make throughout our lives are what people treasure the most in their lives. I will continue doing the work to advocate the importance of preserving your memories.

Time moves faster than we realize.
Don’t wait to prioritize what truly matters.

What is this image worth? What does this image represent?⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲: It's an image of me holding my baby boy while I walk.⁣
⁣
𝐈𝐧 𝟓 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬: Its an image of when my child when he was still a baby and still so little. Life was a little different, maybe simpler in some ways.⁣
⁣
𝐈𝐧 𝟐𝟎 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬: Its an image of a time of my life I wish I could go back to, a part of motherhood I miss so dearly, when my baby would still want me to cuddle him. I miss how great my hair looked back then, I never realized it.⁣
⁣
𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦. As time passes, the way we look at our memories shifts. Our memories become worth more and more as each day passes and we move further away from that particular stage in our lives.⁣
⁣
The images we create together are more than just pictures, they represent moments of time that hold different meanings for every single mother.⁣
⁣
Let’s preserve your family’s legacy together. ⁣

October Life Update ✨⁣
⁣
I feel like I'm in THE busiest season of life as a parent, business owner and just personally! Anyone else feel the same way? ⁣
Here is a little bit about life lately:⁣
⁣
✨ I found out I'm pre-diabetic so I chose to drop a few things from my plate (social media was one of them) so I can prioritize my health. I started at a new gym and I've been there almost daily and working at the nutritional aspect. I had gestational diabetes with my 2nd pregnancy so it's not completely new territory for me. Right now I just have to do everything I can to reverse this since I'm in that gray area until the next set of blood work. ⁣
⁣
✨ I thought the toddler years were busy but this is by far our busiest season as parents. Between our kids being at 2 schools, all the newsletters, events, homework and extra curricular activities it's a lot! Of course there's all the behavioral and emotional changes that come with ages 5 and 7 that we're learning to navigate through!⁣
⁣
✨ I turned a year older last month and decided I'm officially in my self-care era. I'm prioritizing myself in ways I haven't before, learning and being open to new experiences and challenging myself in ways that remind me of who I was before I became a parent which is scary but fun!⁣
⁣
✨Btw, these pictures are my annual Mothers day photos that I finally got around to doing last month. Better late than never right? ⁣ (The last pic is my favorite )
⁣
As I shift and find my new routine with all these changes, I look forward to connecting with you all more and sharing all the work I've been doing the last few weeks. ⁣
⁣
Throughout all these changes I try to stay humble, grateful and remind myself that "I get to have these challenges". ⁣
⁣
That's all for me. I'd love to hear from you, is life just as busy on your end?⁣
⁣

Letting go and closing chapters isn't my forte. Today we ended one journey and began a new one. After 5 years of being by my side, my little girl went off to Kindergarten this morning and I'm feeling all the emotions.

When I embarked on this entrepreneurial journey, my desire was to have a better balance between work and being present with my children. As I built everything you see here, it was while having her by my side. As much as I wanted to grow my business quicker, I knew my time with her at home wasn't going to last forever, so I patiently balanced both worlds as best as possible.

My longing to want to savor each stage of motherhood and life is probably why building a business focused on preserving chapters came so naturally to me.

So whether you're closing a chapter in your life or beginning a new one, give yourself grace, change is never easy. As parents, we've learned that the hardest part is often letting go, but it's in those moments that we and our children truly grow.

It's been a busy and hot summer so far with lots of pool, ocean and lake time! Summer began with a visit from my nieces with us earlier this month where we got to experience life with 4 kids! It was busy but lots of fun having a little staycation with them and so adorable watching these cousins together 🤍 These images are from a quick shoot I pulled off on my own with them one evening and so glad I did! (Swipe to the end for an image from the last time I took their portraits a few years ago!) How time flies!?🥹

We've since travelled up to Canada and are looking forward to changing gears and slowing down by the lake before school and the routine begins all over again. This is the time of the year where I recharge personally and catch up on all the back end of my business before the busy season begins.

How's your summer going so far?

Are we trying to do too much?⁣
⁣
Some words I've been hearing more and more recently from almost everyone I speak to are:⁣
"So Busy" ⁣
"No time" ⁣
"Hectic" ⁣
"Can't keep up" ⁣
"Swamped"⁣
⁣
Granted I talk to a lot of moms so naturally we have a lot going on, especially at this time of the year. I know as a parent and a business owner there are a lot of expectations that we put on ourselves and sometimes it does feel impossible to slow down. But is that true or have we forgotten to slow down? ⁣
Are we trying to do too much?⁣
Is this our new reality?⁣
Are our expectations of what we can accomplish too high?⁣
⁣
I don't have the answers but I do miss the slower simpler days. ⁣
⁣
So here are some images of beautiful simple moments of joy from a recent session and a few little reminders to read and slide through. ⁣
⁣
What's one thing you can do to slow down today? ⁣
