The Blog
Let's get in touch
This is where stories turn into images—and images turn into something you can feel every time you walk past them on your wall. Each session I photograph is built around connection: the quiet in-between moments, the big laughter, the way your family or your pet simply is in this season of life. My goal isn’t perfection—it’s honesty, emotion, and art that feels like you.
Here on the blog, you’ll find a closer look behind the sessions, the people (and pets) I get to work with, and the moments that don’t always make it into a gallery but absolutely deserve to be remembered. Think of it as a collection of stories—real, personal, and beautifully ordinary in the best way.

Welcome
Just a few months ago, Ashley and Zach were counting down the days until they would meet their baby boy. We created a gorgeous set of maternity photos for them in front of the Monument at sunset that included their pups ( see here) and talked about all the excitement surrounding their little boy’s arrival. […]

Some babies arrive with a calm, peaceful presence, and sweet little Eiza was one of them. She settled right into her session, snoozing through so much of it while looking absolutely precious in her tiny lavender outfit. That little bunny almost looked like it had found its new best friend. This session was especially meaningful […]

Some families just stay with you and you become great Friends —and Jena and Luis are exactly that. I still remember photographing them with their first baby girl, back when everything felt brand new and a little bit unknown. Fast forward to now, and here they are again… a little more experienced, a little more […]

Watching families return as they grow is one of the quiet joys of my job as a newborn photographer. I first photographed Dutton when he was a newborn ( see here), and getting to welcome this family back to the studio with baby Hudson felt both familiar and brand new at the same time. I […]

There’s something truly special about being invited back into a family’s life again and again to capture their milestones. When Jade and Lucas reached out to me to photograph their newest little love, Stella, it felt like catching up with old friends. I’ve had the joy of photographing their older two, Shivaun and Finley, before […]

Baby Millie! Welcome to the World, You are Gorgeous! You are so cared for and adored! Little Millie came to see us with her parents, of course, and now older ‘fur-sister, Misha. Misha was still getting used to her new role as a protector and bff for the baby but I think she will warm […]

I am honored to introduce to You: Baby Levi! He is absolute perfection and adored by his whole Family. And that definitely includes his no-big-brother, Apollo ( black lab). I am not sure I have ever seen a pup this attached to ‘their’ new baby. I mean he was already literally attached to Mom’s skirt […]

Welcome to the World, Baby Grayson! You are so Loved! This sweet baby boy came to see us with his whole Fun Family ( see above)! <3 He is just perfection. Wouldn’t you agree? Now-big-sister, Evelyn is just so so smitten with her baby brother. She was over the moon excited to hold him and cuddle […]

Sweet Elizabeth, I literally couldn’t wait for you to arrive! I have been photographing the Stephens Family for almost a decade now ( which is quite crazy to even say) and I was just so very excited to welcome their newest addition to the studio. Isn’t she just adorable? Of course, we included now big […]
